Alpine meadows have forever been a favourite of the tourists who love mountain, snow and lakes and the serenity that comes with them.  One can head to Swiss Alps, French Alps or Italian Alp according to their preference and a wonderfully relaxed tour amidst a bounty of natural beauty is assured.

While Italian Alps attract a large amount of tourists too, it is Swiss and French Alps that have found most favour with the visitors all around the world.

Swiss Alpine Meadows

Alps and Switzerland are synonymous. From eastern Graubunden to the Lake Geneva lying in the western part of the country, from Lake Constance gracing the northern meadows to the gorgeous south of Ticino region, you cannot escape Alps while you are in Switzerland.

Any tour of the Swiss alpine meadows must include the sights of Lake Zurich and Lake Lucerne. While both places abound in natural beauty, as you may know, Zurich is a big city and the cultural hub of the country.

So those who are not tired enough of the bustling city life and also who are lovers of Swiss arts and culture, Zurich is a good place to head for.

However visitors who are planning to leave the bustle behind, Lucerne, the tranquil and beautiful town set by the side of Lake Lucerne should be the ideal destination. Lucerne’s main square terrace cafes are a fave among tourists.

Slow sips at your cappuccino with liberal view of gorgeous Lake Lucerne spread before you- little in life can match this experience. In addition, the town also features a few medieval sites.

Lausanne and Geneva are other favourite Swiss Alpine meadows. A best way to take a close look at the Alpine meadows around Lake Geneva is to hop on to Montreux, a steam-powered vessel built in 1904 and still plying on this beautiful lake and amusing the tourists. While in Lausanne, take trips to places likeb for close encounters with alpine meadows.

French Alpine Meadows

Alps in French are spread from north to south. The topography and natural beauty changes as you head from Germanic north to Mediterranean south. At the northern point, Rhone-Alps is a good place to have a comprehensive experience of French alpine meadows.

If you are in south however, head to Provence-Alps-Cote d’Azur. This town is located at the farthest point of French Alps, before it makes its way to Italy. A short distance away is Mediterranean. So when you have your fill of the alpine meadows, you can always head out to the sea.
