Switzerland
It’s true you may hear the jingle-jangle of cowbells in Switzerland, but you’re also likely to hear the ticking of the most famous Swiss export, the precision timepiece. A country of tidiness, neutrality and fantastic scenery, perhaps Switzerland is the best European all-year-round holiday destinations with wonderful winter skiing and invigorating summer alpine walking. Make sure you taste their chocolate too, it’s mouth-watering and you’ll need a bar or two in your bag to energise yourself for some serious golfing.
