Natural Beauty in Switzerland

When I was nine, I went to Switzerland with my family. I heard that it had a beautiful Alpine Mountain range, which I was extremely excited to see. While landing down. I could see rows of snow-covered mountains. Now, more than ever, I couldn’t wait to get on top of one of them.

We ended up going to the top of a few mountains such as Mount Blanc. I remember staring in awe at all of the buildings as we went up the cable car. Upon reaching the summit, a magnificent view awaited me. I loved the sight of rows of munts and the beautiful valley in between them. They seemed to come together so well. 

I remember that we took a day trip to a beautiful town in Italy. To get there, we needed to go to a 17-mile tunnel, which felt that it never was going to end. The town had a lovely square which we could walk around in. I loved sitting in the square and admiring the vibrant colors of the sunset. 

I also remember taking a stroll through Geneva Lake. The coast on the other end looked beautiful. I observed as the sunlight reflected at the water. It all seemed so magical. I imagined what it is like to live in such a mountainous area and see this lake every day. I wished that I had the opportunity to do that. 

Another activity that I thoroughly enjoyed was paragliding. Although it is a scary activity for most people, I was extremely excited to try it. After going up a mountain, I got strapped to a parachute and ran as fast as I could before gliding off. As soon as I got in the air, I fixed my eyes on the amazing landscape: mountains that surrounded me and the patches of the land beneath me. As I continued gliding, I felt a light breeze going through me. I felt so light up in the air. It was a wonderful experience.

My favorite thing about the trip was just looking at the mountains when we were driving. They looked humongous from below. I loved how different each one was, even though they looked identical from far away. They never looked old no matter how many times we drove past them every day. My favorite city to drive through was Luzern. There the mountains looked majestical. I enjoyed seeing the horseshoe-shaped that they formed around the buildings and water bodies. 

This trip was what first brought out the “nature lover” aspect of my personality. Even though I had no idea how these mountains and lakes formed, I just couldn’t take my eyes away from these magnificent landforms. I will never be able to forget the beautiful views that symbolized my spectacular experiences in Switzerland.
