Northern Switzerland , much of it known as the Schweizer Mittelland - the populated countryside between the Jura to the north and the high Alps to the south - is a region of gentle hills, lakes and some high peaks, though ones by no means as grandiose as the heights further south. There's a wealth of cultural and historical interest in the German-speaking cities of Zurich , Basel , Luzern and the federal capital, Bern . Wherever you base yourself, the mountains are never more than a couple of hours away by train.
