Why Switzerland is the Most Beautiful Place on Earth
Switzerland🇨🇭
Switzerland is a relatively small country in the center of Europe. This country shares borders with Germany from the north, Austria and Liechtenstein from the east, Italy from the south, and France from the west. Switzerland has an area of 41,277 square kilometers. It is a mountainous country and besides the Alps, it has many high peaks. In the south of Switzerland is the Alps and in the northwest is the Jura mountain. In the center of Switzerland, there is a plateau with hills and plains and many rivers. 38.7% of Swiss land is for agriculture and 31.5% is forest.
Geographical division
Switzerland is geographically divided into three parts: the Alps, the Maitland region or central plateau, and the Jura mountains in the northwest and on the French border.
The mountains
Almost 20% of the Alps are located in Switzerland. This country has approximately 17 peaks with a height of 4000 meters above the sea and more peaks with a height of 2000 to 4000 meters. The most famous peaks are located in the Valais region, such as:
The Matterhorn, one of the highest peaks of the Alps on the border of Switzerland and Italy, is one of the most dangerous mountains for climbing. This mountain is pyramid-shaped and its four sides face four geographical directions. Although this mountain is not the highest peak in Switzerland, it is known as the symbol of Switzerland and the symbol of the Alps.
Monte Rosa, or Dufourspitze in Swiss, is the highest peak in the country and the second highest peak in the Alps, and is located in the eastern part of the Alps.
Weisshorn (Weisshorn) is a mountain in the Walle region and is considered one of the highest mountains in the Alps (it is almost the same height as the Matterhorn).
Grand Combin is one of the Alps and is located in the west of Switzerland. This peak with a height of 4314 meters is the second most prominent peak of the Alps.
The Jura mountain range is a vast mountain range that passes through France, Switzerland and Germany. There are skiing and cycling tracks in this mountain range, and many underground water springs can be seen in it.
Mountain passes
Many passes of the Alps that connect the northern and southern parts of Europe are located in Switzerland. Many of these passes are closed in winter due to weather conditions. These passes are one of the tourist attractions of Switzerland and every year many tourists travel to Switzerland to drive through these passes.
glaciers
The water of rivers and lakes is supplied from natural glaciers. These geographical phenomena play an important role in electricity production and provide more than half of Switzerland’s electricity. The largest natural glacier in this country is called Aletsch Glacier. This glacier is 23.6 kilometers long and has an area of 118 square kilometers. Theodul Glacier in the Matterhorn is the venue for winter competitions even in the summer!
the weather
In terms of climate, Switzerland is a relatively cold and temperate country. On the west side, moisture and cold wind reaches this country from the Atlantic Ocean and causes strong wind and rain. In the east, the climate is almost continental and there is less temperature and humidity. On the other hand, the Alps mountain range, which stretches from east to west, acts as a climate separator. South of the Alps, unlike the north of the Alps, its climate is almost Mediterranean with high temperature and high humidity.
In general, spring in Switzerland is rainy and cool. April in Switzerland is famous for its variety of weather. Summer is hot and relatively dry, and the maximum temperature reaches 35 degrees Celsius. Autumn is often dry and cool. In the months of September and October, the temperature suddenly drops and the weather becomes extremely cold. Winters are cold and dry, and temperatures in all parts of Switzerland can drop below zero, especially at night. It snows a lot near and around the Alps.
