Across the border to the knockout scenery of Switzerland. Speaking of knockouts, how good is our mountain hideaway at Mt Rigi? A cable car or train ride up the mountain takes us to our traffic free village where the most noise you will hear is the jangling of cow bells! The setting of our alpine barbecue here is special and the walks are unreal!
