At the Vierwaldstätter Lake and up to the mountains - In the indigenous cantons and in the canton of Graubünden you understand the radiant beauty of the Swiss Alps.
They call it the “ smiling lake” – and nobody knows if this name comes from the sparkling of the Vierwaldstätter Lake or the dreamy smile of visitors which see the “mighty deed of nature” as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe called it. At the area around the Vierwaldstätter Lake, Switzerland is incredibly beautiful. The heart of Switzerland throbs here – not because the so-called Rütlischwurs of the three indigenous cantons, not because the historically not documented and by Schiller magnified affair named Willhelm Tell but for natural reasons: visitors always remember the beauty of nature. The central region of Switzerland to the boarder of Austria is annexed to this “heart of the country”.
