Great story. Being next door to Switzerland is a bonus
It’s absolutely pristine. Northern Italy is special but we had perfect weather for Venice. The Alps and Dolomites are exceptional whether you are skiing or hiking. The ability to see the gems of Europe at a casual pace will be special. In the time it takes me to drive to Blacksburg, Grant could visit 3 different countries. It’s on our list to spend 90 days there (as long as our Visa will allow it) so we can really settle in. Maybe even move there.
