There are photos here from two separate and quite different trips to Switzerland.  There are separate detail pages for each trip, with sample images, maps, and tables of contents.  This page provides short summaries and shortcut links to the pictures PDFs.

  My Switzerland Tour took me around the country.  That trip is presented in two parts.  First down the east side to St. Moritz, across to Lugano, up to Andermatt, and across to Zermatt.  Part two visits Geneva, Bern, the Alps in central Switzerland, Lucerne, and Zurich.  Switzerland Tour page

  My Switzerland Vacation was a holiday, revisiting some places from before and exploring others.  I stayed in Interlaken in the Bernese Oberland and took short day trips on the lakes and up the mountains there.  Switzerland Vacation page

Route Map

I travelled clockwise around Switzerland on my full tour.  I was coming from Germany by train, and took the Bernina Express route to St. Moritz and on to Lugano.  The trip to Zermatt included part of the famous Glacier Express route. From Geneva and Bern it was on to Lauterbrunnen for more mountain adventures.  My later vacation centred aound Interlaken, just noth of Lauterbrunnen.
