• France to the west,
• Germany to the north,

The capital city is Bern, in fact, it's not the largest, but Zurich is.

The four national languages of Switzerland are German, French, Italian and Romansh.

All but Romansh maintain equal status as official languages at the national level within

the Federal Administration of the Swiss Confederation.

Switzerland's climate is generally temperate, and it can vary depending on the location.

Switzerland is rich with it’s hills and Tourists wanting to see glaciers and mountains with

eternal snow may easily do so in Switzerland because there are many alpine railways and

cableways bringing you right up to the peaks. But this kind of rapid travel between two

points of very different altitude also means a rapid change of climate! Within less than

one hour, you may be brought from a hot summer day in the Midlands (30° C / 86° F)

to cold winter (-2° C / 29° F). temperatures are about 1°C (2°F) lower per 150 m (500 ft)

increase in altitude. Weather forecasts for temperatures in Switzerland are usually

based on typical midland altitudes (400 m to 500 m / 1200 ft to 1500 ft) for the north

side of the alps and 300 m (900 ft) for the south side of the alps unless given for a

specific city.
