Switzerland: Glaciers, Tunnels and Transport

Students can explore mountain environments first-hand and see how transport systems like mountain railways and cable cars are adapted to challenging terrain.
The country’s mix of natural beauty and engineering makes it ideal for studying both physical and human geography in action.“
