Should I go to Switzerland or Southern Chile?
I heard that Switzerland is full of Indian & Chinese tourists everywhere you go. May as well go somewhere else with snowcapped mountain ranges & glacial lakes that isn't overrun with tourists, and Chile sounds perfect.

Switzerland if you want to spend thousands to take some photos.
Chile if you want to spend thousands getting your balls drained until they ache and throb. (if you're a male)
Depends on your intent.

It's not exactly the same landscape but don't count on Chile being cheaper than Switzerland once you factor in how remote and inaccesible Patagonia is

> Switzerland is full of Indian & Chinese tourists
and hijabis and niqabis from the Gulf toobut the tourists don't actually hike or interact meaningfully with nature. go on a 5-6 hour hike, heck, walk 25 minutes away from any major gondola or modern transporation amenity and the hordes of swarth disappear
all of a sudden you have turned back the clock and are surrounded by fellow Aryans of good character and good cheer.So Switzerland is absolutely still worth it if you are into deep nature and/or outdoor sports. And the train infrastructure is super convenient - frequent arrivals/departures, stations at every town or village, and a not too expensive 1st class to relax in if 2nd class starts feeling crowded. I highly doubt Chile could provide comparable service. For example, think of a hike from Schynigge Platte to First passing through the Faulhorn - you have a mountain outpost where you can get drinks + food halfway through, and the views throughout are absolutely stunning. Tons of these trails and subhumans are usually too lazy/weak to go on them

>france is basically cairo

Literally nothing I read on 4chan is true about anywhere I've been IRL, are people just making up random nonsense or am I just really bad at finding the parts of these countries that resemble a /pol/ fever dream? Pic unrelated.

I lived for many years in Switzerland, and while it’s undeniable that a lot of popular tourist destinations there get a lot of Indian tourism, in part because a few extremely successful Bollywood blockbusters were shot there, you’ve got to be pretty soft to be bothered by it. Indian tourists in Switzerland are either extremely wealthy families or very bourgeois expat professionals (scientists working in pharma, engineers, some finance people) showing visiting relatives around. They’re not offensive at all unless you’re very easily offended and can get triggered just by seeing a South Asian on the street. I spent a few days in the beautiful tourist trap that is the Lauterbrunnen valley just a couple of months ago, and while the local trains all had scattered posh Desi familes on them, they were fewer in number than Euro tourists. Pic from the justly beloved resort village of Wengen related; I did not eat there, but there is an Indian restaurant in town that you may feel compelled to avoid.Chinese tourists who make it to Switzerland, likewise, typically have money and largely keep to themselves. They’re also less often in really large tour groups than they can be in other countries. I see a fairly large number of families, but not many Chinese-only tour buses.

Most of those are hard to reach in Chile and plain inaccesible during winter.
It is cheaper than Switzerland but way more empty.

One, it depends on the time of year when you can go. Chile you definitely want to go in summer, Switzerland it depends on what you wanna do. I've been to both and I prefer Chile because it's far emptier. Switzerland's infrastructure is amazing of course but you really do pay for it, and that comes with increased regulation and surveillance. In the lake district or Aysen, you can camp pretty much anywhere, and hitchhiking is super easy, so getting around is slower than Switz but it's still enjoyable. You didn't mention your budget but you can have way more fun in Chile for way less than in Switzerland, and unlike the other anon said, it's way cheaper.
I hitched the carretera austral last year and barely spent $20-25 a day - with no transport costs, getting a campsite, eating a meal out every other day and drinking a lot (chileans like to party). it was a great time and the people are really sweet, not much english though.anyway, go to switzerland if you want convenience and wanna pay for it, and go to patagonia if you wanna have a good adventure. but do try to stay longer down there because it's far from everything and not cheap to get to, and like i said, getting around takes time.
