Switzerland – is it really the best country in the world?

There are moments when the Swiss let you in, when their guard drops, when their true nature shines. These are the moments when a people who can sometimes seem a little reserved cut loose and have fun, when they shed the bounds of their everyday Swissness.

I've seen it before on the banks of the Aare River in Bern, where people sat around on the grass barbecuing and drinking in the late-evening sun, celebrating the end of a long day hiking up the river and then floating back down in inflatable boats and lilos, just having a good time, doing something simple and natural and fun

I've seen it, too, on a high alp in the Emmental region during a wrestling meet, an event held in the great outdoors surrounded by almost impossible natural beauty. The Swiss have their own brand of wrestling, a sport called "schwingen" that's a favourite among farmers and other country folk, and a schwingen meet means a long day of chatting, laughing, drinking beer and eating sausages and watching the action on a sawdust-covered stage.
