Switzerland is naturally endowed with cool , cold weather, pretty scenic snowy mountains, valleys, clean rivers n mostly green with flowers, plants, trees ....all picture portrait.
Their pop of variois european countries is small with huge land mass...no where is crowded, locals n tourists simply love its clean cool air.
But if u go to the local areas, u will see lots of peoole smoking n cigerettes butts all over the place...like rural china.
Food is v expendive ...cheapest is fried rice selling at the rail ststions, costing $15 per pack...n the toilet fee is $4/. just to pee... wages, taxes , cost living v high , std of living high too....impossuble to have low cost living n high living stds..anywhere in the world! B realistic, life is a trade off, u wud need a fine yin yang balance to achieve optimum living

if london notoriously know for expensive can forget tour switzerland.
touring switzerland with that 5k can be better use to go alaska to see glacier on luxury cruise ship.
I think better climb Bukit Timah hill at least once in your life time or else you dunno what you missed........

Maybe have some mountain and scenary but Malaysia and Thailand also have.
don't be a tortoise.
go and see for yourself.
last time I went there, on the way down the mountain from "top of the world", I took some pictures randomly from the train.
you know what happened next? each photo turned out to be postcard photo standard.
someone claims that it is hard to take a lousy photo there.

Switzerland scenary is not bad. If want a so called getaway from stress, can consider staying there for a week. But for ladies, the only shopping are watches unlike Paris and Italy.
I was sad when i don't have a pair of new shoes, until i saw someone with no feet...

Switzerland is expensive but it's doable to visit 10-14 days for sgd3000. Just book hotels with breakfast and eat full full every morning. Avoid eating at restaurants. Use a rail pass. Go hiking which is mostly free.

Only the alps is worth visiting. Nothing much to see in the cities. Everything's damn expensive, except for Evian water lol.
