LITTLE SWITZERLAND

A community as unique as the name itself.

Little Switzerland is a picturesque village complete with charm, character, and long-range mountain views. Located off the Blue Ridge Parkway at milepost 334 is the renowned  Switzerland Inn resort and village, known by some as “uptown”. Just a few stop signs down the road is “downtown,” which includes an interesting general store, cafe, and art gallery featuring local artists. The Switzerland General Store has been the heart of "downtown" Little Switzerland since 1927.
