    		I doubt it is what you are talking about but there is a Little Switzerland right up the road from me :)

    		Bet you're going to get a lot of answers on this one.

    I live ninety miles from Valdez, known as Alaska's "Little Switzerland." I chose a link that just calls it "Little Switzerland." But then, it's from Alaska's biggest newspaper.

    Then there's Lynton and Lynmouth.

    And Matlock Bath (think Jane Austen).

    		There's actually a littleswitzerland.com website, http://www.littleswitzerland.com/, which strangely enough is a duty-free retailer in the Caribbean. How in the world can a Caribbean retailer compare themselves to Switzerland?

    		You will notice that the FIRST thing that the Breitling, the Watch of Watches, site says is DO NOT BUY WATCHES ON THE INTERNET.

    Which place in Himachal Pradesh is called "Mini Switzerland"?

    This place, once a "seeing place," has seen it all: first a stronghold, it's been a walking place, a drinking place, a disbarking place, a swimming place (but not for people), a singing place, and now an embarking place. Oddly enough, never a drumming place, though virtually in a former shooting place that still retains the name. Named for a politician, then renamed horticulturally, it's again named for the politician, no relation to other more recent ones of the same name. Where in the United States is it?

    Why is Switzerland called the playground of Europe?
