[quote=Anonymous]There is no skiing in November except in Zermatt. But its too cold to go hiking.

The weather is depressingly dreary during thanksgiving. It rains and its muddy and the trees are bare.

The Swiss are, on average, as clueless about cooking as the Germans. When its excellent its about $200 per person. Even at $75 a head places they serve industrial white salad dressing with MSG - this is seen as "cozy" as it reminds the locals of their childhood as this is all there was in the 70s and 80s. A mediocre pizza for one is $20, sometimes more (just the pizza, no drinks, coffee...).

Eat baked Mt d'Or vacherin cheese made of unpasteurized milk.

Go to the cities: Zurich, Geneva-Lausanne, maybe Lucerne. Go to Gruyere and visit the Giger museum and eat a fondue in the town. If your near Basel and love cars, there is an amazing car museum nearby.

If by huge luck the weather is good, go see the Aletch glacier and stay overnight in Bettmeralp or Riederalp. Visit a vineyard in Vaud, Geneva or Valais. If you get to Geneva, go to Chamonix (F) and take the cable car up the Mt Blanc (and eat something decent for a change).

The trains are very nice but cost a lot.

Personally, I would go to Italy or Spain that time of the year.[/quote]
