Switzerland is a federal state composed of 26 cantons with Bern as its capital. The government consists of a 7 member team that is re-elected every 4 years, with the position of President rotating annually. While German is spoken by 65% of the population, other main languages include French, Italian, and Romanish. The document also describes Madame Bossert's village of Lutry on Lake Geneva, the three large mountains nicknamed the "Three Monsters" that are attempted by skilled climbers, and the Jungfrau Ice Museum located at the peak of Mt. Jungfrau.
