Swiss Family Adventures

You can check out the pictures from our Switzerland trip here. It was quite a whirlwind visiting Lausanne, Gruyeres, Zermatt, Luzern and Zurich in one week - not to mention the side trips in some locations. There were lots of beautiful mountains and lakes....and lots of train rides.

I had 2 favorites from the trip (this is for you, Dad). First I really enjoyed Zermatt. The town itself is kind of like a Swiss version of Gatlinburg but not quite as tacky. However, unlike Gatlinburg, it is nestled in the Alps and has beautiful views of mountains, glaciers the Matterhorn. I also really liked Luzern. I like it when cities are on a river and it doesn't hurt when they have lots of watch shops and are surrounded by mountains!

Great pictures of Switzerland. Disneyland did a pretty good job replicating the Matterhorn, but the real one looks way cooler.

Wow, again your photos are amazing. So Swiss! It's actually how you expect Switzerland to look like (I've only been to Geneva so very different from where you visted). Thanks for sharing!
