Switzerland beyond the postcard

This travel guide frames Switzerland through contrasts: Alpine landscapes and urban culture, long-standing traditions and contemporary creative scenes. Its subject matter ranges from architecture, galleries, design and underground youth culture to food, vineyards, mountain routes and natural landmarks, including Europe’s largest waterfall. The description also points to places tied to Sherlock Holmes, forgotten mountain passes and city streets marked by graffiti. Together, these details present a portrait of Switzerland that reaches beyond familiar images of peaks and ski slopes, connecting its varied landscapes with the people and cultural settings that shape the country.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Travelers planning a trip to Switzerland who want cultural and urban material alongside landscape highlights.
  • Readers interested in architecture, design, food, photography and contemporary creative scenes.
  • Visitors seeking ideas that span cities, mountains, vineyards and natural landmarks.

Book overview

Switzerland. A land of snow-capped peaks, clockwork precision and powdery slopes. But look closer and you'll find more than what's on posters and postcards. The country thrives in the balance between hushed tradition and loud reinvention, where avant-garde galleries hide in medieval alleyways and defiant graffiti shadows iconic design. Switzerland will exceed your expectations, but only if you dare to expect more.

LOST iN takes you inside the modern Swiss pulse. You'll discover high-altitude creatives and urban alchemists, vinyl bars and floating hot tubs, fearless architects and lakeside vineyards, the thunderous spray of Europe's biggest waterfall. You'll even stand on the ledge where Sherlock Holmes met his dramatic end. Along the way, you'll meet the mountain guide chasing impossible lines on vertical slopes, the indie designer dismantling the home aesthetic, one of the youngest chefs ever to command three Michelin stars, and the photographer documenting underground youth culture across generations.

From the eerie stillness of forgotten passes to the rattle of spray cans claiming city walls, Switzerland refuses to be boxed in. Experience it like an insider, an explorer, a rebel. Get lost in the Switzerland that breaks its own rules.
