Summer is just a wonderful time to be in Switzerland, unlike say summer in India. Anyone who doubts my theories about why seasons (especially extremes) are a bad idea need only come here in summer to see why. The days are sunny, the air is crisp, the alpine meadows are lush green, and the streams and lakes are just crystal clear. In short, the perfect weather to laze outside, have lots of cheese (raclette, fondue etc) and drink lots of wine. If you haven't done it yet, I recommend it very strongly, given the salutary effects on one's system. In the meanwhile, how about an, ermmm, blanket ban on winter in places like Switzerland? It just is so much better when the sun is out and it's warm.
