Spa Resorts Switzerland

Switzerland, officially the Swiss Confederation, is in Western Europe. Switzerland is a federal republic consisting of 26 states called cantons. Berne is the seat of the federal and de facto capital.    

Switzerland comprises three basic topographical areas: the Swiss Alps, the Swiss plateau or "middleland", and the Jura mountains along the northwestern border with France.   Among the high peaks of the Swiss Alps are found valleys, waterfalls and glaciers, and from these the headwaters of several major European rivers flow into the largest Swiss lakes such as Lake Geneva (Lac Leman), Lake Zürich, Lake Neuchâtel, and Lake Constance.  The more populous northern part of the country is called the Middle Land -- most Swiss cities are in this area of the country.
