"In a land where the average 65-year-old calls a four-hour hike over a 2500m mountain a Sonntagsspaziergang (Sunday stroll), where giggly three-year-olds ski rings around you on the slopes and where locals bored with 'ordinary' marathons run races backwards, up mountains, for fun - to call Switzerland sporty would be an understatement. It's hyperactive." - Lonely planet Switzerland, 6th edition 2009
