SWITZERLAND
ON THE WATER
In a country of around 7,000 lakes, a shortcut to blending in with the locals
begins with heading to the water. Although landlocked, Switzerland offers
riverside beaches, glistening lakes, frozen lagoons and mile-high waterfalls.
Whether you hop on a boat or strap on your skates, the water’s fine.

Locarno and lakefront stunner

best, follow the scenic 90-minute
hiking trail into the Santis massif
to the unforget table Seealpsee.
