Here's a short story:

CHAPTER IV 

IDA'S FIRST ASCENT 

The party had spent another day or two beside the lake when, one drowsy afternoon, Kinnaird, who sat on the hot, white shingle by the water's edge, with a pair of glasses in his hand, sent for Weston. Miss Kinnaird and Ida Stirling were seated among the boulders not far away. 

"I understand that the river bends around the range, and the crest of the first rise seems no great height," he said. "There is evidently--a bench I think you call it--before you come to the snow, and the ascent should be practicable for a lady. Take these glasses and look at it." 

Weston, who took the glasses, swept them along the hillside across the lake. It rose very steeply from the water's edge, but the slope was uniform, and as a good deal of it consisted apparently of lightly-covered rock and gravel the pines were thinner, and there was less undergrowth than usual. Far above him the smooth ascent broke off abruptly, and, though he could not see beyond the edge, there certainly appeared to be a plateau between it and the farther wall of rock and snow. 

"I think one could get up so far without very much trouble, sir," he said. 

"That," replied Kinnaird, "is how it strikes me. My daughter is rather a good mountaineer, and Miss Stirling is just as anxious to make the ascent. I may say that we have had some experience in Switzerland, not to mention the hills among the English lakes. Do you know anything about climbing?"  (End of story)

Provide your best guess for the following question. Give ONLY the guess, no other words or explanation.

For example:

Guess: <most likely guess, as short as possible; not a complete sentence, just the guess!>

Here are a few examples of questions and answers:

Question: Who surveyed the landscape to determine the best path?
Guess: Weston

Question: What was good about the slope he saw?
Guess: it was uniform

Question: Anything else?
Guess: the pines were thinner

Question: Is that it?
Guess: there was less undergrowth than usual

Question: Could he see beyond the edge?
Guess: no

Question: What appeared to be between the edge and the wall of rock and snow?
Guess: a plateau

Question: What did Weston remark to Kinnaird after surveying the land?
Guess: "I think one could get up so far without very much trouble, sir,"

Question: Did Kinnaird agree?
Guess: yes

Question: What did he say about his daughter?
Guess: she is a good mountaineer

Question: and Miss Stirling?
Guess: she is anxious to make the ascent

Now answer the following question in the same format.

Question: Where did Kinnaird say they had prior experience?

Switzerland
