Which famous mountain range straddles the borders between Switzerland, France and Italy?

The Alps

From its snow-covered mountains to its sparkling lakes and pine forests, Switzerland’s natural beauty is the perfect backdrop for a get-away-from-it-all break. And with art and culture, gourmet food and beautiful spas in abundance, it’s the ideal destination in which to unwind.
We’ve teamed up with Swiss International Air Lines and two of Switzerland’s top five-star hotels, Les Trois Rois in Basel and the Grand Hotel Bellevue in Gstaad, to offer The Sunday Times Travel Magazine readers a chance to win a luxurious four-night Swiss break.
The winner and a guest will be living the high life, enjoying five-star accommodation and gourmet meals in top restaurants. You’ll jet off in style on Business Class flights to Switzerland to stay two nights at the magnificent Les Trois Rois, in its finest penthouse suite. Accommodation for the next two nights will be in the luxurious Chalet Suite at the Grand Hotel Bellevue where an indulgent three-hour spa session awaits you.
A guide will show you the best of Basel on a private tour of Switzerland’s cultural capital and its famous art museum, Fondation Beyeler. Afterwards, you’ll be treated to a cheese-tasting while a VIP Rhine cruise takes you on a romantic journey to nearby Alsace. Then it’s off to the mountain resort of Gstaad where the real adventure begins, with a helicopter flight over the Alps and champagne brunch on a 3,000m glacier, served by your own butler.
G'luck! :D
