If a guy named Larry went to Switzerland, he absolutely must see ________."
Italy.
Oh, ok, I'll play. Well, nothing can beat the Alpenglow on the Matterhorn, or the Alpenglow on any of the Alps, really, but the Matterhorn is especially gorgeous, and the twee little town on its shoulder, Zermatt, has no cars and everyone schusses about on skis or tinkles about in horse-drawn sleighs, with bells. Yep, bells.
Best of all: flying over the Alps in a small plane, as in a short-hop. If you can find an excuse to fly from, say, Geneva to Zurich on a clear day, it's indescribable.

Skip the cities and head for the high passes.
