Which part of Europe Switzerland in Southern or northern?

If going by all regions of Europe, Switzerland would be placed in neither Southern or Northern Europe; it would be placed in Central Europe simply based on its location. However, if all European countries had to be placed as either being in Northern or Southern Europe (say, splitting Europe in "half"), Switzerland would be part of Northern Europe. Culturally and historically, Switzerland is more related to Northern Europe. The Alps are one of the cutoff lines between the north and south of Europe, and has historically acted as a separator between Northern and Southern Europe. Since Switzerland is on the northern side of the Alps, it has been open more to Northern European culture than Southern European.
