Touring Switzerland - Travel Video.  VHS.  Questar Video.
"The land of legendary tales and tall mountain peaks, Switzerland is Europe's Shangri-La."  Little Switzerland is big!  A breeding ground for great monuments: the Geneva Conventions, the International Red Cross, the International Olympic Committee, and Dada.  It is the home of the music box and the world's futuristic time-pieces.  It's the land of oversized cowbells and mammoth wheels of Gruyere cheese.
   A land of great cities, many with medieval Old Towns, cathedral spires, half-timbered houses, and frescoes on the facades of ancient buildings.  It's the city of Montreux which celebrates jazz in the Land of the Yodel.  It's a train's dizzy ascent up the Jungfrau.  It is the Matterhorn.  It is St. Moritz and Zermatt and Interlaken hosting Kings of Industry and Queens of Cinema.  Skiing in minks and golfing in the snow.  Switzerland is where the wealth of nations goes for safekeeping (awful lot of "it's" in this description)
   And it's all here, Geneva, Lake Geneva, Bern, Basel, Appenzell, St. Moritz, Lugano (Locarno), Zermatt, Interlaken, Lucerne, and Zurich.  60 minutes.

Rick Steves' Austria and the Alps - Travel Video.  7 Shows.  DVD.

Five Shows: 2½ hours, closed captioned, NTSC format, all region compatible.

Here's where we'll take you...

Vienna — In Europe's classiest capital we'll tiptoe through the palace of Maria Theresa and be dazzled by the Hapsburg crown jewels. Then we'll picnic on the Danube, nibble strudel in an old world cafe, blush at slinky Art Nouveau, and waltz to the three-four beat of Johann Strauss.

Salzburg and Surroundings — The birthplace of Mozart — and everyone's Sound of Music fantasies — Salzburg is a baroque jewel of a town. It's also the springboard for lots of alpine fun — from thrilling summer bobsledding, to idyllic boat rides in the Salzkammergut lake district, to exploring the delightful romantic town of Hallstatt.

Alps of Austria and Italy — From high on the Zugspitze at the Germany and Austria border, Rick makes his way down to popular Innsbruck, the historic provincial capitol of the Hapsburgs. We explore a medieval museum, get a resident's tips on cuisine — especially dumplings — and slap dance the night away in a nearby Tyrolean village. By way of historic Brenner Pass, we turn to feudal Italy at Reifenstein Castle. Then we're out-of-doors, as we zoom up rock cliffs in a cable car and hike through Alpine meadows in the Italian Dolomites.

Alps of France and Switzerland — Rick makes a home base out of Chamonix, the original French Alpine resort, ever popular with international skiing and party crowds. Who says there's no easy way to conquer Mount Blanc? Just hop a gondola and you'll soar past the great peak, over glaciers and into Italy. We train over to Appenzell, Switzerland on the Glacier Express Railway and find Swiss traditions thriving in yodel-happy, cowbell country.

The Best of the Alps: Switzerland's Jungfrau Region — If Heidi is alive, she's in this sky-high corner of the Swiss Alps, with cowbells ringing on breathtaking ridges. After settling into a traditional village where locals scythe hay by hand, we hike and bike. We blast an alphorn, get sprayed by waterfalls raging deep inside a mountain, and munch muesli for breakfast at 10,000 feet. For a finale, we ride Europe's highest lift up the mighty Jungfrau for hot cocoa and oh-wow views.
