Why Switzerland?

Centrally located Switzerland has at least four distinct personalities — one for each official language it speaks: German, French, Italian, and Romansh. Latin, Portuguese, and English also have their place. The stunning countryside, high quality of life, and top notch safety, healthcare, and infrastructure are big draws.
