A trip across western Switzerland - including Basel, Bern, Interlaken and Jungfrau, Lausanne, Lake Léman, Chillon and Geneve. Video recorded on mazely's trip, on winter 2007. Soundratrack by mazely - a Brazilian who's not used to -9ºC (15ºF), composed in June 2007. Originally in Portuguese. ~~~~ I'd like to thank my wife and the Korean guy who took my picture with the Jungfrau Peak (I'll never know his name). And also thanks to Mike Shiva. My last "thank you" to the kind Portuguese waiter at Olympia restaurant, at Continental hotel - Lausanne (the city I liked the most). He gave me an unforgettable lesson about fondues - essential!

Switzerland persecuted presumed witches longer than any other country in Europe. In relation to its population, it also executed the most people for the crime of witchcraft. An exhibition at Chillon castle sheds light on witch trials in canton Vaud, which used to be a stronghold of witch persecution. (swissinfo.ch)

A short video I made showing Switzerland during World War Two. We have been highly undercredited for our roles in world growth, and we should rightfully be known for everything we've done. We are the longest lasting, and most powerful democracy and milita in the world but the world doesn't know that. Here's my part in teaching the world the importance of Switzerland. This video was made by me, please don't copyright or steal someone elses work. Have honor in yourself. Some ideas and inspirations were from this video: www.youtube.com So credit to that maker! Note: Yes this video shows the "pros" of how Switzerland survived WWII, and I wouldn't be surprised if the government did give money to the Axis and hold their money and god knows what. The information I used was all in print. Books, trustable sites; I made -nothing- up. I am a very proud Swiss and as it stands not many people know anything about Switzerland. I myself have lived in the US for about 8-9 years now and never learned Swiss history in school or anything. Everything I know is self-taught. I've read books on the topic and done reseach just for fun because I care about history, and I care about my country. I welcome any comments but please be aware that this video is educational and ment to show that the Swiss people did unite during those dark times and endured for their survival and that of their, my, nation. Over 10'000 views! : ) Over 25'000 views! :D Over 50'000 views!!! :D (November 1st 2011) Thank you ...

Interlaken, one of the Alps' original resorts, is a useful springboard for alpine thrills. And, when the famous peaks get socked in by clouds, you can choose from some interesting lowland options. In this town, four innocent-looking hay barns conceal a network of tunnels connecting several big guns. Many of these once top-secret sites are now open to the public as museums.

"The Capital of Peace." Embedded between nearby Alpine peaks and the hilly terrain of the Jura, the French speaking city of Geneva lies in the bay where the Rhone leaves Lake Geneva. With its humanitarian tradition and cosmopolitan flair, the European seat of the UNO and headquarters of the Red Cross long ago earned the city the moniker "Capital of Peace."
