St.Moritz like Gstaad is an overpriced waste of time....Chur has
nothing of interest
some of the best scenery is around the lakes at Interlaken...but it
all depends on the weather


What a jaundiced view! I have enjoyed visits to all of those places and,
during my family's first stay in Switzerland, we rented an apartment in
Gstaad for a week. Switzerland, after all, is a small country and even
Gstaad made a good base.
