Lodestars Anthology: Issue 12, Switzerland

Splendid and suave, Switzerland - with its mountains, lakes and palatial hotels - is remarkably good for the soul.

Steeped in history, Switzerland is both lavish and refined - chocolate-box perfection guaranteed to surprise. It is a playground, refuge and wonderland. A hideaway and delight. And amongst these pages are hints of all it has to offer. There are tales of intrigue and adventure, romance and the sublime - of towns where time is kept and paused, cantons that charm, literary escapades, wilderness, trains and alpine fare that is very fine indeed.
