Switzerland sites to see?
I am going to Switzerland in April and would love any advise on great places to go while there. Flying into Zurich and staying in Zug. I know all the country is beautiful, but any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Take the trail from Zurich south down to Milan Italy. It goes right through the heart of the Alps, most beautiful. If you can make a day of it continue from Milan west to monte carlo, the trip around the Med. is breathe taking. To hear this it seems far but remember all of Europe is small in and of itself.

Sounds Cool! We were planning to go to Florence, Italy too. Maybe we can hike part way and then take the rail or something. Have to check it out!

My trip started out as a business trip for my last company... They bought the ticket, cancelled the trip and I quit. (they closed our office two months later) Kept my properly cancelled, non-refundable ticket and now it is a vacation!!!! Cool.

The time commitment is definitely worth the $1000 ticket!

Nicely done!

I've planned to go to Interloken twice now; once we changed plans in Zurich and went to the south of Spain instead, the other time we were having such a good time in Ljubljana we just couldn't leave.

Those Alps keep calling and I keep getting sidetracked. But as for helpful advice, you might want to go to
www.lonelyplanet.com, choose "branches" and "Western Europe." Lots of Euro-advice on that page.

I went about 9 years ago to Germany, Switzerland and Austira. Garmish is a happening little ski town, Verbier is a beautiful upperscale alpine village and Castle Newswanstien sp??? is very cool. Have a blast!

Not sure about the others, but isn't Garmish in Germany?
