Places to explore

Zurich — The strongest eastern base for community logistics and day trips to Lucerne, the Rhine Falls, and mountain regions.

Basel — A compact Rhine base with important Jewish history and excellent rail links to France and Germany.

Geneva — The main western anchor with listed Chabad contacts and easy access to Lake Geneva and the Alps.

Lausanne — A useful lake-city extension, but verify current local support before treating it as a full Shabbat base.

Chabad centers in Switzerland — Use the live directory for exact city contacts.

Rhine Falls — Easy eastern day trip by rail.
