Switzerland's Lakes and Mountains
Switzerland was pretty flat a few million years ago. This was until the plates started moving, creating the Alps as we know them today. What is left of earth's sliding and shifting is unique geography with hundreds of valleys, river sources, lakes and peaks.
Switzerland is known as the country of lakes and mountains with good reason. Switzerland's landmass is only 0.4 percent that of Europe, but the country holds 6 percent of the continent’s freshwater reserves.
Switzerland has several thousand lakes, from the biggest and best known, such as Lac Léman (Lake Geneva) and Lake Zurich, to tiny mountain lakes you may never have heard of.
All, however, are exceptionally clean with turquoise blue waters and sparkling surfaces that reflect the sun’s rays. Whether to swim in, to sail on, or just to look at, here are 10 of the most stunning lakes in Switzerland.
Within the Swiss Alps lie nearly all of the highest peaks in Western Europe. These stunning peaks have attracted climbers and tourists for hundreds of years. No wonder the Alps is such a popular hiking and trekking destination.
Whichever region you choose to visit, you will be assured of truly wonderful views. Some of the most known peaks are Mount Pilatus, Rigi, Titlis, Harder Kulm, Schilthorn, Jungfraujoch, Klein Matterhorn, Kleine Scheidegg, Gornergrat, Stanserhorn and much more.
Switzerland has more high peaks than any other country in Europe: 48 are above 4000 meters. In fact, mountains cover a whopping 60 percent of Switzerland’s land area.
