Switzerland is a small country surrounded by Germany, Paris and Italy, however, its small size has not diminished its visibility. Major investors are quite comfortable leaving millions of dollars in the country's banks and its neutral position in the world is well established.

The landscape is grand and picturesque, with wide green expanses and clean farmhouses, picture-perfect villages and tranquil lakes. The climate changes four times a year, with snowy winters, cool falls, fresh springs and warm summers.

The people are sophisticated and individualistic, proudly keeping their heritage's separate. Village to village crosses over language and culture from German to French to Italian, to Romansh. English is widely spoken.
