IN THE ZERMATT 
REGION 
Her matchless and majes¬ 
tic scenery—her wealth of 
sports — from mountain 
climbing to golf—her in¬ 
vigorating and rejuvenat¬ 
ing climate, her superior 
traveling accommodations 
and hotels—all combine to 
envelop the tourist in an 
earthly Paradise —- 
In SWITZERLAND 
S WITZERLAND’S best recommendations to Americans 
is that everyone who has ever been there once goes 
back again. The grandeur and beauty of her scenery are 
incomparable. The friendly hospitality of her people, the 
ease and grace with which service is everywhere extended, 
give Americans that most comfortable sense of welcome. 
GENEVA with its classical lake, ever attractive and interesting as a 
resting place and excursion centre, combines beauty, wealth and intel¬ 
lect, and is a university town of world renown. LAUSANNE- 
OUCHY, chief point on the Simplon line, centrally located on the lake 
and facing the Savoy alps, has the distinction of being the most convenient 
headquarters for excursions in French Switzerland. It is, like Geneva, an 
educational centre of repute. 
Then ZERMATT, at the foot of the Matterhorn, exquisite as a high 
alpine health resort, conveniently reached via the wonderful Loetsch- 
berg railway. LUCERNE, the ''Mecca” of all tourists; its loveliness 
proverbial, its variety of sports and amusements most interesting. The 
starting point for excursions in Central Switzerland. LUGANO, in 
the Swiss-Italian lake district, a paradise of flowers basking in peren¬ 
nial sunshine, an unforgettable trip via the electrified St. Gothard 
line, famed for its scenic grandeur. 
Conveniently reached from intellectual ZURICH, the country’s metropolis, 
are THE GRISONS with its 150 valleys, and the famous Engadine, is 
an alpine wonderland. Its unique climate with powerful solar radia¬ 
tion, its excellent cures and opportunities for all sports have made 
its St. Moritz , Davos, Arosa, Pontresina and Films most appealing as 
all-year-round resorts. TARASP-VULPERA, in the lower Engadine, 
offers a marvelous alpine climate, while the variety and medicinal 
values of its waters are not approached by any European watering 
place. 
Switzerland is unchanged. Rates to suit any purse from $2.00 a day 
up. No war, luxury or other taxes for tourists.
