Jura, Switzerland's youngest canton, boasts a distinctive character: a history of independence, unspoiled nature, and a relaxed pace of life far removed from the glamour of the Alps. Its natural beauty is vaguely reminiscent of parts of American Montana and the steep cliffs of the Grand Canyon.
Schaffhausen is the northernmost canton of Switzerland, surrounded on almost all sides by Germany: the famous Rhine Falls, the picturesque Rhine valleys, and an ancient town where the history of the borderland is still palpable.
Uri is a canton of Switzerland where the history of the Confederation began: the legends of William Tell, the Alpine passes and the character of the first free mountaineers who, on the shores of Lake Luzern, were the first to say “no” to the empire.
Appenzell-Ausserrhoden is a canton of traditions and alpine festivals: ancient customs, mountain villages, and the region's distinctive culture. The name Appenzell comes from the Latin Abbatis Cella, meaning "abbot's estate."
Appenzell-Innerrhoden is Switzerland's smallest canton: old traditions and the life of Alpine communities, where time seems to move more slowly and decisions are still made by the whole people in the square.
Bern is the capital of Switzerland and one of its largest cantons: a medieval city, the country's political center, and home to ancient legends about bears that sound almost as serious as government decisions.
Aargau is a canton of rivers and castles in northern Switzerland, east of Zurich: historic fortresses and important chapters of Swiss politics written amidst castles and vineyards.
