The writing is the same of course. When I stayed with my friends they spoke German with me, but Swiss German amongst them and I only from time to time I caught a word. Yes the Alpes are very beautiful and the Lago Maggiore too. What an adventure in the airplane ! I did that once along the Belgian coast, but without mountains !
