∙ 11y agoSwitzerland is of a, largely, hilly, rough, mountainous and glacial terrain - partly forested and partly cleared - as well as several large lakes in the more central plateau with much farmland and goatherds. The greater hillier regions are characterized by rivers and lush, green growth.
More specifically, its larger mountains lie in the Alps in south, and Jura in northwest, with a central plateau of rolling hills, plains, and large lakes.
