Mediterranean lakes and craggy rock landscapes are all close together in one small geographical location. Switzerland has many wild faces – some familiar and some hidden. It’s a country that’s astonishingly rich in variety, wilderness and scenic wonder. Each episode of the series seeks to do justice to this diversity.
