The mountains are one of Switzerland's core competencies - for the Swiss themselves as well as for visitors to the country. This book shows visitors which mountains are the best way to get to know the country and provides locals with valuable information they may not have known before. Switzerland has around 50 peaks over 4,000 meters, but most are only of interest to climbers. This elegant and clever book presents the truly relevant mountains of Switzerland, found at all elevations: the local mountains of the major cities, from Üetliberg to Gurten to Mont Salève, the national symbol mountains like Pilatus, Rigi, Jungfrau, and Matterhorn, as well as culturally significant mountains like Monte Verità, the Magic Mountain, and Dreisprachenspitze. Depending on the height and character of the mountains, the book also includes information on the best ways to reach them.
