Excerpt from Switzerland the Country and Its People BY the ordinary visitor Switzerland is regarded merely as the playground of Europe. To him it is a country that by some mysterious means has made itself a delightful place for sojourn, whether for the mountain climber, for the lover of winter sports, for the seeker after salubrious climate, or for the mere holiday maker in search of amusement. After spending his allotted time in Switzerland, he returns home with a vague impression that he has been in a well-organised country, a country where the food is good, travelling is cheap, hotels are comfortable, the scenery is splendid, and only one man here and there is vile, probably an over-tasked waiter in August.
