When is the Best Time to Visit Switzerland?

The seasons in Switzerland are spring from mid-March to mid-June, summer from mid-June to mid-September, autumn from mid-September to mid-December, and winter from mid-December to mid-March. May, June, September and October are good months to visit Switzerland, as weather is typically mild, and the mountain passes are still open. July and August are travel peak months and are always crowded in cities. March, April and November are rainy seasons and snow fall usually presents from December.

For those who have specific travel plans, the ‘best time’ may mainly depend on what particular events they want to participate. For example, snowing season is the perfect time for skiers and winter sports fans. For mountaineers, summer is the best time. Some of the Swiss panoramic trains including the Glacier Express and some of the mountain cableways cease running during winter months. So if you want to enjoy one of these rides, this should be taken into consideration. Anyway, if you can get time off work and are well prepared for your vacation, you will have a wonderful Switzerland tour regardless of the time of year.

What to See in Switzerland for First Time Travelers?

There are so many fabulous cities and towns worth visiting. Walking on the eternal snow, witnessing glistening glaciers, riding on the world-famous Glacier Express train, and visiting a Swiss cheese factory are all ideal activities in your Switzerland tours.

For a regular week-long trip, you could discover major Swiss cities and visit some natural wonders. If you have a longer vacation, you can include more interesting places like museums, medieval castles and fortresses, Swiss mountain peaks, and experience more scenic train rides throughout Switzerland.
