You will probably get a dozen posts telling you that everyone in Switzerland speaks English. Of all the European countries I've traveled in, Switz. has the least communication problem. The whole country is a treasure in which you can hardly go wrong. Engelberg is a personal favorite of mine and gives easy access to Lucerne, but my all time fave is Zermatt -- like being on top of the world in the clearest, cleanest air possible. If you are lucky, you will see a wedding, with all the wedding party in horse-drawn carriages, since no cars are allowed there. I suppose they still drive the goat herds through the main street twice a day. There are homes at the end of the street across from the church that were built of squared logs more than 800 years ago, now housing shops...solid as a rock.

The country is so small you can get from place to place pretty handily and will love it all. You can walk along the lake front for miles. Just enjoy.
