Switzerland by motorhome rental

The high peaks of the Swiss Alps, the many lakes and the stylish cities of Zurich and Geneva, ensure that a vacation to Switzerland will be a wonderful experience. The nature of this beautiful country is totally different from the Dutch nature. The breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains, magnificent glaciers and across green mountain meadows will not disappoint you. Travel past crystal-clear mountain lakes and cascading waterfalls in Valais and Graubünden, sample a touch of Italy in Ticino or stroll the sunny boulevards along Lake Geneva. Enjoy the varied nature, fresh mountain air, picturesque villages and a typical Swiss cheese fondue during your motorhome tour of Switzerland.

In the middle of Europe lies beautiful Switzerland, where the Swiss Alps stretch all the way from the southwest to the northeast. This rugged high mountain range, with peaks around 4000 meters high, determines sixty percent of the landscape. The most famous peaks are; the Jungfrau, the Eiger and the Mönch in Bernese Oberland and the gigantic Alpine giant the Matterhorn in Valais. The Alpine mountains are cut lengthwise by the valleys of rivers, such as; the Rhone and the Pre-Rhine.

The neighboring countries of Germany, France and Italy have greatly influenced Swiss culture. Consequently, all three languages of these countries are officially spoken in Switzerland. The old city center of the capital Bern is on the World Heritage List and should not be missed during your tour. By the way, the road network is particularly good in Switzerland, making it easy to admire all the highlights this country has to offer. Just be sure to purchase a toll vignette at a post office, gas station or simply at the ANWB in the Netherlands to use the highways. There is also an additional toll for the Saint Bernard Tunnel and the Munt-la-Scheratunnel.
