People say Geneva is a beautiful city,
but it’s the worst place for a cheap

other two cities. In fact, it’s the most
expensive city in Switzerland. I was
there last summer and it was the most
expensive week of my life!
Zermatt is a popular village, but it’s quieter than

many other places because there are no noisy
cars. The thing that makes Zermatt so special is
the Matterhorn. For me, it’s the most beautiful
mountain on Earth. The highest cable car station
in Europe is here on the Little Matterhorn. There’s
good skiing for advanced skiers in winter, but
other places are better for beginners. The best
