Living in Switzerland

Switzerland is an attractive place to live and work because of its high standard of living. It is clean and safe, with efficient services and all modern conveniences. Things are quite expensive in Switzerland, but you can expect a decent salary to compensate for this. The main language in Switzerland is Swiss German, although standard German is understood. A healthy lifestyle and outdoor pursuits are popular in Switzerland, and the efficient rail system makes it easy to head into the Alpine countryside for hiking or skiing in your free time.
