Mountainous Terrain
Switzerland is often synonymous with the breathtaking Swiss Alps, a natural wonder that graces postcards and travel brochures worldwide. Surprisingly, though, less than 15% of this magnificent mountain range is actually within Switzerland’s borders. Nevertheless, the nation proudly claims 208 Swiss mountains, some reaching elevations of up to 3,000 meters. Among these peaks is the iconic Matterhorn, a symbol featured on Toblerone chocolate packaging.
Furthermore, Switzerland boasts an additional 24 peaks that soar above the 4,000-meter mark, providing an exhilarating challenge for seasoned mountaineers. Whether you’re an avid hiker or just a lover of stunning landscapes, exploring Switzerland’s mountainous terrain is an essential part of any Swiss adventure.
