Beautiful Attractions in Switzerland

Travelling is really a lot of fun but need a lot of money to spend. Couples of days ago we travelled in south and eastern side of Switzerland. It was just a short vacation in this year, we usually travel many times in a year but at this time, we had short vacations. My mom enjoyed our vacation in Ticino canton, Valais and in a short visit in Liechtenstein and beside of that her first travel around Switzerland. In Switzerland, you could not really find many tourist spot attractions in the other country, nature, highest mountains, beautiful alpines, impressive glacier and valleys.

My mom problem is only cold temperature a cold country here in Switzerland, as she is Asian woman she did not use the temperature I just always telling to her bring the jacket and wear stockings. I told to her how she could lives if there are snows, even is not already winter, she has already cold. She could never see the real snow falling down when winter comes because she has cold. Anyway, before the end of the fall she is going back to Philippines.
