The Swiss border refers to the international boundaries that separate Switzerland from its neighboring countries: France, Germany, Italy, Austria, and Liechtenstein. This border stretches approximately 1,852 kilometers and is characterized by diverse landscapes, including the Alps and Lake Geneva. Crossing the Swiss border typically requires a valid passport or identification, especially for travelers from non-Schengen countries. Switzerland is part of the Schengen Area, allowing for passport-free travel between member countries, which facilitates easier movement for residents and tourists alike.
