Liechtenstein nests between Switzerland and Austria with Vaduz Castle perched above the Rhine valley, the country's only ski resort at Malbun, and a national bank vault holding more than the country's population in francs.
Vaduz walking comfortable, Mountain hiking trails clear, and the National Day on August 15 celebrating with fireworks over Vaduz Castle.
Mountain trails accessible, the Liechtensteiner Wein Festival weekend, and the Schaan summer concerts in the open-air auditorium.
Rhine valley harvest, Vaduz Castle visible above the autumn colours, and the country's traditional Älplerfest mountain-pasture closings.
Malbun ski resort runs the country's small but cheap operation, and the Vaduz Christmas market on Städtle is one of the Alps' smallest sovereign markets.
