Swiss cities are mostly located in the Swiss plateau in close proximity to ski resorts and nature. The country is blessed with bountiful plains and hilly terrain dotted with large Alpine lakes. Climate is varied with Mediterranean cool in the country’s southern tip. Warm humid summers with rainfall favoring grazing land and pastures, temperate winters in the glacial mountainous regions, and low-light winters in the lowlands. Switzerland has major transportation hubs but Zurich International Airport is one of the busiest in the country today with railway connections to Basel, Geneva, and Zurich.
