For fairytale beauty, look no further than storybook Switzerland. Home to more than cuckoo clocks, yodelling and chocolate, it is considered the cleanest country in Europe, and it's not hard to see why. Clear crystal lakes, snow capped mountain peaks and wild flower filled meadows dominate the landscape, and the crisp natural air is invitingly refreshing and invigorating. Switzerland abounds in outdoor pursuits, and what a stunning backdrop to do these. Ski in the shadows of the towering peak of the Matterhorn, relax on the mountain railway up to the Jungfraujoch or cruise on a paddleboard on Lake Geneva.
