Beautiful views at our paragliding takeoff spot
Airtime Paragliding- very cool way to see incredible views

Thun- we loved this town. Very relaxing and pretty as a postcard.
Lake Thun
Lucerne- Chapel Bridge
The weather was beautiful, so we rented a boat on Lake Lucerne.
Lucerne- Lion Monument
KirschPunkt
Ahh, Switzerland... I've never been there, a real shame to be honest. Especially because it is right next to my home country.

Zytglogge!

I stayed in the building thats in the picture from your hotel! At least i think, it was owned by the same person that owned the pub in town!
NatesSauceLab
So that's why I want to live there. huh...
Csorax
Next time you travel Switzerland visit Appenzell in the east of the country. It's also great for hiking. Can tell because i live there ;)

#2 I'm from Norway I have views like this, outside my bedroom window
Screwdizzle
Have you tried the strudel?
greenskyfire
Yaay glad you had a good time :) you've visited my hometown always happy to see it represented positively ^^
babsginger
You come to my city and dont say hello? That's a tad rude....
CerebralAssassin
I made a pact with my boyfriend that once I quit my job we'd live there for a year. I fell in love with the country years ago!
Stormshout
Bern is my hometown. If you come again we'll have a beer ;)

I was in Interlaken a couple months ago. Definitely the most expensive place I've ever visited, but too beautiful to not visit at least once
moonsunshiny
Going there in a week :)
Thatsmypic
Have a great time! It's truly incredible.
SidneyHarbor
Which part? I went to Montreaux and visited places like the Maison-Cailler chocolate factory and Castle Gruyères. Beautiful place.
moonsunshiny
We'll be staying in Interlaken for a week and want to visit Bern, Luzern and Jungfraujoch. A chocolate factory is a great idea too!
SidneyHarbor
Yeah if you like chocolate and cheese, you are going to the right country for sure. Have a great time!!
MyEndWillNotBeOnEarth
As a swiss, you've made some great choices!
byohzzrd
There's freedom. Beer, ashtray, a big ass dessert and no condescending looks.
MrAskani
I loved Switzerland. We went up My Pilatus and stayed overnight up there. Experienced my first ever snow fall up there. Amazeballs.
ibesotired
Just come to America, lots'a snow here
SidneyHarbor
I assume you mean Mt. Pilatus. Or perhaps you really did mean "My Pilatus" and you're a PC-12 owner, which would be awesome. ;)
MrAskani
Damnyouautocorrect!! Mt Pilatus indeed. ????????
marslo
That's all great and stuff, but the tell us more about that strudel.

Bern bear pig
PenInMyPocket
I must be awesome to live in a place like that..
honoluludancer
sometimes
ZwingIi
you get used to it and dont appreciate it like you should
thezookeeper
Same with where I live. Humans are funny aren't they?
AIComments
I assure you, the cows up there fucking love it.
HolyRain
I do haha
TonyStarch
I'm sure living in the mountains would be nice, but here(near zurich) it's pretty uninteresting
TonyStarch
Meaning not more interesting than any other place, it is nice to live here though, having a good economy and all.
babsginger
It kind of is yes.
wasolo
It is! I life in Zürich near the lake and i fall in love everyday (with the view)
leyenkim
Ah Thun! My favorite! My family is from there. They have a crazy festival where a dressed up man hits children with blown up pigs stomachs
leyenkim
It's called fulehung thun. Scary as hell
CaptainCrazyTerrorOfTheBathtube
It always makes me feel proud to see Pictures of Switzerland on here :D but as a "inneschwiizer" i have to correct you, its the 1/2
CaptainCrazyTerrorOfTheBathtube
Vierwaldstätter lake not the lake lucern !^^ 2/2
Thatsmypic
Oops! Thanks, good to know!!
SpringToMyWinter
It's terribly pretty, but you can keep it. Snow/cold isn't my thing.
SidneyHarbor
If I were to move there, I'd like the area around Lake Geneva. Similar climate to Portland, OR, but without the smelly protesters all over.
SirJiffy
Missed opportunity to show Richard Hammond in hospital.
Barkinsons
He crashed 20 minutes from where I live, but I guess I'm not allowed to visit him
ChrisPrattsNipples
My country ???????? you should come down south! The French speaking part is just as beautiful
pinkertonhasanewkitten
Ça c'est bien vrai!!
MyEndWillNotBeOnEarth
Oui!
QueenAmy
Next time I'm there can I stay with you?
ChrisPrattsNipples
As long as you're not an axe murderer, why the hell not!
QueenAmy
I have never murdered an axe. I broke a shovel once. Totally not burying any one though.
TonyStarch
I'm across the "rösti-graben" from you. Where in romandie are you from? I live in aargau

Oh some swiss, hi from Mont Vully!
JustAGuyFromLazyland
Hi from geneva
4chanSuperFan
been there last year . cost me arm and leg but i felt like walking through skyrim
SnarkyScience
Lauterbrunnen was the inspiration for Rivendell, so that's probably more accurate.
HolyRain
I live in Switzerland ;)
KukuBRE
Me too :)
yoginioftruth
Can you translate arm & leg into freedom $?
yourmotherandIthinkyoushouldmoveout
tree fiddy
yoginioftruth
Ahhhh. Right in budget then.
honoluludancer

SidneyHarbor

4chanSuperFan

SidneyHarbor
Just looked up my old hotel. It's now the Eurotel, cheapest room for mid-July is 305 CHF, about $315 USD. http://www.eurotel-montreux.ch/en/
4chanSuperFan
Location = wilderswill - 2 ppl hotel - 300 CAD ( dunno , 250 USD ? ) / night , mug of beer 4 EU , burger in restaurant 20 CAD (1)
4chanSuperFan

4chanSuperFan

Barkinsons
Let's say with a wage below 4'000$, you are considered low income. At 3'500$, you reach the minimum wage for a full-time job
tarWHOdis
The lion monument is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
stinkygoatnutz
It is so huge in person. Very beautiful and very moving to see
tarWHOdis
Someone famous said it was the saddest piece of stone. Really true.

No, that's not it. I think it was Mark Twain.

stinkygoatnutz
I would love to live in Switzerland
ZwingIi
yeah democracy and healthcare are some nice plus like our flag
Ferelar
If I had to pick one country to live in, I'd pick Switzerland. Unrelated, was surprised to learn Switzerland is somewhat more conservative!
ZwingIi
not every part. zurich, geneva, basel as example are very liberal.
Ferelar
That makes good sense, I hope to visit someday soon.
Barkinsons
It is, politics are very federalistic and slow here, but it has the benefit that no minister wants to push huge projects just for his image
Ferelar
That is good and bad, I suppose. Broad sweeping change can be great and all... but just as often it can ruin lives.
ThisCommentIsHilarious
Are those like... Grizzlies??? They don't appear to be caged...
kiwiflavored
Close. They're European brown bears, very close relatives of North American brown bears (grizzlies & kodiaks). They used to live all over...
kiwiflavored
Europe, but are long extinct in large parts of Western Europe. In Switzerland, the only wild bears are tourists from Italy :) One made it...
kiwiflavored
to Bavaria a few years ago and was promptly shot by gun-crazed German hillbillies. As for the photo, I think it's a large zoo enclosure.
kiwiflavored
Huh. It's not that large after all from another perspective:
ThisCommentIsHilarious
Wow! You answered my question in fascinating detail plus a pic. Fucking Bravo, kiwicupcake! These types of responses are one in a million!!
