Switzerland’s commitment to quality is firmly anchored in everyday life. Here, even the least expensive chocolate tastes first-rate. Attention to detail and a love of precision have long been a tradition in Switzerland. The goal is to do everything just that much better - whether it’s in watch-making, medical engineering or creating an exquisite praline. Go and enjoy it yourself!

Many mountain areas have a highly energetic ski town culture in winter, and a hiking (wandering) culture in summer. Other areas cater to tourism and have a recreational culture throughout the year. The quieter seasons are spring and autumn when there are fewer visitors and a higher ratio of Swiss.

A traditional farmer and herder culture also predominates in many areas, and this connection to the land and agriculture is a strong glue holding all the Swiss together. Even though now most do not actually farm themselves, the small farms are omnipresent outside the cities, and urban Swiss often keep garden plots or window boxes with geraniums amongst other flowers.
