About Switzerland
Switzerland is a small, landlocked country in the heart
of Europe. It has a strategic location at the crossroads
of central Europe with many easily traversable passes ("Passstrasse",
short term "Pass"). Switzerland is a major player in
international trade and follows a liberal trade policy
so, while this is not an ideal market for companies new
to exporting, it has potential for more established
exporters.
The Swiss, who enjoy one of the world's highest levels
of income per person, have a taste for well-designed,
quality products. The climate is temperate but varies
with altitude. The weather in Switzerland varies greatly
between different places. The highest snow received at
Rochers de Nave, a mountain near Montreux (VD) with
approximately 260 cm per year.
Switzerland, with an area of 41,300 sq km, is a small,
landlocked country bordered by France, Germany, Italy,
Austria and Liechtenstein. It is mainly mountainous
(Alps and Jura) with a central plateau of rolling hills,
plains and lakes. In the lowland areas the winters are
rather colder and the summers hotter than they are in
Britain. In Geneva the average temperature in winter is
1C and 18C in summer.
