: Switzerland is a country which is bordered by a total of four countries. Italy to the south, France to the west, Germany to the north and Austria to the east. Switzerland is largely covered with mountains which belong to the mountain range called the Alps. This part of the country is largely uninhabited while most Swiss people live in the cities of Switzerland. These cities are definitely not the nicest part of the country though, that would definitely be the mountains ranges and beautiful spots lile captured here?. Double tap if you would visit Switzerland! – Shot by: @jess.wandering | #globaltravelpix #switzerland #traveleurope #visitswitzerland #switzerland_vacations #travelswitzerland
