Culture
Switzerland does not have a strong artistic heritage, even though many foreign writers and artists (such as Voltaire, Byron, Shelley, James Joyce and Charlie Chaplin) have resided or settled in the country. In contrast, many creative Swiss such as Charles Le Corbusier, Paul Klee, Albert Giacometti and Jean-Luc Godard left the country to make their name abroad. The naturalised Swiss writer Hermann Hesse is the most famous 'local' author. A copy of his novel Siddartha used to be found in the backpack of every questing Westerner heading on the hippy trail to India. German-Swiss dramatist and novelist Max Frisch was one of Europe's most respected authors in the 1950s. His best-selling 1957 novel Homo Faber was filmed in 1991 by Volker Schlondorff and released under the title Voyager Swiss folk culture includes yodelling, playing the alp horn and Swiss wrestling. We suggest you don't indulge in any of these after a night in a Swiss tavern. Switzerland is a linguistic melting pot with three official federal languages.

Home Study Abroad Switzerland The culture of Switzerland is influenced by its neighbors, but over the years a distinctive culture with strong regional differences has developed. A number of culturally active Swiss have chosen to move abroad, probably given the limited opportunities in their homeland. At the same time, the neutrality of Switzerland and the low taxes have attracted many creative people from all over the world. In war times the tradition of political asylum helped to attract artists, whilst recently low taxes seem predominant. Strong regionalism in Switzerland makes it difficult to speak of a homogeneous Swiss culture. The influence of German, French and Italian culture on their neighboring parts and the influence of Anglo-American culture cannot be denied. The Rhaeto-Romanic culture in the eastern mountains of Switzerland is robust. Country Information: Switzerland Switzerland Information Inside

Switzerland Culture
A country with its own exceptional cultural customs, Switzerland culture is a blend of the mores of Italy, France, and Germany. The mixture of linguistic, literary, musical, cultural, and culinary influences from the three countries has guided the way for the conception of a Switzerland culture that is a fusion of aspects. Inspired designers and artists like Le Corbusier the architect and Alberto Giacometti the sculpture came from Switzerland. Albert Einstein had a job at the office of the Swiss patent while he was independently developing the Theory of Relativity. Over the years, Switzerland culture has developed into a distinct ethnicity with strong local differences. Conventionally, Switzerland is not deemed as one of Europe’s culture centers; however this insight may be a little misleading. Although some culturally active Swiss have opt to go abroad as the prospects in their country may have possibly been limited, as in the case of architects; Switzerland’s neutrality has also attracted a lot of creative individuals from all over the globe into the country. Switzerland’s strong regionalism makes it hard to talk of a Swiss homogenous culture. The neighboring parts’ influence of French, German, and Italian culture is undeniable, as well as the robust Rhaeto-Romanic culture on Switzerland’s eastern mountains.
