Tucked in the heart of Europe, Switzerland 🇨🇭 is a must-visit destination that delights its visitors. Multicultural, the country boasts an exceptional natural heritage: the <a href="kavval://places/23794e59-ce39-4e35-84d7-b0d3b651211f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jura</a> and the <a href="kavval://places/4b4ff98f-072f-413a-9bfe-fd7f26f8052a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alps</a> shape Switzerland's contours. The Plateau, also known as the Central Plateau, is a central geographical area that hosts the country's four main cities, namely <a href="kavval://cities/daed6c5c-c431-4113-9689-6785f7784f9c" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Geneva</a>, <a href="kavval://cities/f4df3c0f-89c2-45ca-ac81-61548ed7e013" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lausanne</a>, <a href="kavval://cities/168a083e-3564-4705-b712-b3ae924446dd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bern</a>, and <a href="kavval://cities/1ec7cff5-aeb6-4bc1-9d5e-21f94941bf30" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Zurich</a>. All culturally vibrant cities! The Swiss countryside is known for its green beauty 💚 and has attracted numerous writers and painters in the past. Let's not forget the majestic <a href="kavval://tags/lakes-ponds" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lakes</a> nestled within or bordering the Swiss lands. We can mention Lake Geneva, Lake Maggiore, and Lake Lucerne, but the country is dotted with lesser-known lakes that are worth a visit, take a look <a href="https://travelise.ch/blog/articles/les-10-plus-beaux-lacs-de-montagne-en-suisse" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>... Pack your language dictionaries, Roger Federer's homeland is rich in different cultures: French, of course, but also German <a href="kavval://countries/88499f9e-b753-44b7-9b26-8baad00b18e8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">🇩🇪</a>, Italian <a href="kavval://countries/bf9d0ae3-bd54-4be7-8994-c53c42cfd0f3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">🇮🇹</a>, and... the lesser-known Romansh! A true Erasmus country 😃. Mountain lovers are, of course, invited to explore Switzerland, in summer ☀️ as well as winter ❄️. Skiing and hiking are on the agenda.Find the calendar of races in Switzerland here. <a href="kavval://pages/30300aa8-919d-44ac-8ca6-015258ce663e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Road racing</a>, <a href="kavval://pages/19c6236d-b5b7-431a-87ba-e50b74dcd383" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">trail running</a> or <a href="kavval://pages/5b49242e-6288-4e30-8649-74eb1ab8563f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">walking</a>, all Finishers will find their groove (pun intended 😄) in Switzerland. In the Valais, a region in the southeast of the country, the <a href="kavval://events/e65ee8c8-ca03-4cde-bda3-59596cb0916f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fully Vertical Kilometer</a> is for the tough: a 1920 meter race with 1000 meters of elevation gain!!! Whhhaaaat? Yes, indeed. The use of poles is indispensable in this <a href="kavval://tags/vertical" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">vertical race</a> offering gradients of over 50%... Another nature race in Switzerland? The <a href="kavval://events/0c1aad0b-bf92-4cd2-8388-8671f6d8ca00" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trail de la Vallée de Joux</a> will let you discover the beauties of Vaud, a canton located near the French border to the west of the country.

There's also something for the <a href="kavval://tags/kids" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">children</a> in this race! Road runners will definitely want to participate in the <a href="kavval://events/768ccb55-d49b-4055-be56-6a7d52ccda3b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Geneva Marathon</a>, which runs along the shores of Lake Geneva... The <a href="kavval://events/3c460aea-e76d-4df1-8a4b-33c4c4c48359" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lausanne Marathon</a>, in Francophone territory, offers a chance to explore the capital of the Canton of Vaud. If you want even more nature and adventure, let yourself be tempted by the <a href="kavval://events/6458d863-1a4a-47c1-8e45-7da34fe0cb1f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wildstrubel Trail by UTMB</a>, it's definitely worth the detour.A little piece of Switzerland?
