Those Swiss Prices

Referring to Jim Fuhrman’s letter (July 28) commenting on the article “Different Paths Through the Swiss Alps”: I am a frequent traveler to Switzerland, which is certainly the most expensive country in Europe. However, I never encountered the outrageously high prices there for food and drink listed by Fuhrman. As for hotels, $140 for a room does not seem expensive; I just paid $200 for a B&B; in Carmel.
