There is only one way to travel to Switzerland and that's with the best airline

Surrounded by conflict throughout much of its history, Switzerland continues to defy convention and maintain its individuality. The nation’s economic and political stability sets an example that few countries in the world have been able to emulate.

Switzerland’s daily life appears to be full of contradictions – the old and the new; natural beauty and industry; neutrality and international frankness. Switzerland’s famous unity belies these sharp contrasts, which is the reason why this small country in the heart of Europe plays such an important role in diplomatic and trading matters. It is Switzerland’s contrasts, its juxtaposed diversity and unity that attract both business interest and tourist adventures with equal enthusiasm.

Switzerland has 26 cantons and through the wording of the federal constitution they are sovereign and have their own cantonal constitution, legislation, jurisdiction and executive bodies. Together the cantons form the federal parliament which constitutes the Nationalrat, the Standerat and the Bundesrat, which is the highest executive power. The Bundesrat has seven members elected through legislative power.
