Travel by rail here, the Swiss Rail system is scenic and literally runs like clockwork! There are pretty mountain villages and fascinating towns mixing old world charm and vibrant culture. Another attraction here is, of course, chocolate and cheese! Take the 'Chocolate Train' to Montreux and taste the gorgeous produce at the Cailler-Nestle chocolate factory. Also here is a trip to the Gruyere cheese factory.
