Overview
Switzerland is a mountainous Central European country, home to numerous lakes, villages and the high peaks of the Alps. Old Towns within its cities
contain medieval landmarks like capital Bern’s Zytglogge clock tower and Cathedral of Bern. The country is also a destination for its ski resorts and
hiking trails. Banking and finance are key industries, and Swiss watches and chocolate are renowned. Extending across the north and south side of the
Alps in west-central Europe, Switzerland encompasses a great diversity of landscapes and climates on a limited area of 41,285 square kilometres
(15,940 sq mi). The population is about 8 million, resulting in an average population density of around 195 people per square kilometre (500/sq mi).
The more mountainous southern half of the country is far more sparsely populated than the northern half. In the largest Canton of Graubünden, lying
entirely in the Alps, population density falls to 27 /km² (70 /sq mi). The Swiss climate is generally temperate, but can vary greatly between the
localities, from glacial conditions on the mountaintops to the often pleasant near Mediterranean climate at Switzerland's southern tip. There are some
valley areas in the southern part of Switzerland where some cold-hardy palm trees are found. Summers tend to be warm and humid at times with periodic
rainfall so they are ideal for pastures and grazing. The less humid winters in the mountains may see long intervals of stable conditions for weeks,
while the lower lands tend to suffer from inversion, during these periods, thus seeing no sun for weeks.
