was nearby, as were pine forests
and farmlands.
Inside, there was a diverse

on safari in Africa; groups of
business executives from Japan,
France, Germany; tourists stop-

on to resort areas of Switzer-
land.
Later I learned that this ho-
tel, too, gets its share of celebri-

Cocker.
That evening, the mood in
the lobby was lively and con-
vivial. On the lower level, guests
were dining by candlelight on
fondue and other Swiss spe-
cialties in the Taverne: Two oth-

premises. Kosher meals are
available on advance request,

Then, on the morning of my
departure, I enjoyed a walk
along the hotel's two mile jog-
ging trail which extends
through tranquil meadows and
woodlands. I was relaxed and
unpressured, knowing that
there would be no frantic effort
