 <\/p>\n

Spring season (March to May)<\/h2>\n

\"Flowers<\/p>\n

Spring is a great time of year to travel and the perfect time to visit Switzerland. Full of renewed life and vigor, landscapes come to life as the snow melts away from the lowlands. You\u2019ll still enjoy a picture-perfect snowcapped backdrop to your travels.<\/p>\n

With temperatures gradually rising from around 41\u00b0F (5\u00b0C) in March to 59\u00b0F (15\u00b0C) in May, be prepared for both sunshine and showers. Spring is ideal for hiking as trails become accessible and dotted with wildflowers. The Jura Mountains and the Pre-Alps are favorites for walkers, with many campsites offering pitches with a view. Or head to Interlaken, the gateway to the Jungfrau region blessed with spectacular lakes. The perfect location for early-season hiking and enjoying the views of the Eiger, M\u00f6nch and Jungfrau mountains.<\/p>\n

Spring is also considered the best time to visit Switzerland\u2019s grand cities including Zurich, Lucerne, and Geneva, with more favorable prices and fewer tourists. Stroll along the beautiful Lake Lucerne and explore the historic Old Town. Experience local culture with events like Sechsel\u00e4uten in Zurich, a traditional spring festival. Walk the lakeside promenades of Montreux or shop till you drop for those designer items in Geneva.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Summer (June to August)<\/h2>\n

\"Switzerland\u2019s<\/p>\n

Depending on your altitude, summer temperatures range from 64\u00b0F to 82\u00b0F (18\u00b0C to 28\u00b0C), making it the warmest and most popular time to visit. The days are long giving you plenty of time to enjoy outdoor activities. You can also attend the world-famous Montreux Jazz Festival in July and celebrate Swiss National Day on August 1st with fireworks and festivities.<\/p>\n

If you love hiking, swimming and paddle boarding, summer is considered to be the best time to visit Switzerland. There’s no shortage of wild lakes and rivers, big and small throughout Switzerland so it comes as no surprise that everyone is out on the water. Lake Geneva, Lake Zurich and Lake Thun are particularly appealing. With extensive trails, summer is ideal for hiking and mountain biking in areas like the Swiss National Park and the Bernese Oberland.<\/p>\n

An unforgettable (and sustainable) way to see Switzerland is it take advantage of its superior rail network. Take a rail journey with air-conditioned carriages with huge widows for panoramic views. The world-renowned Glacier Express should be on every traveler\u2019s bucket list as the most spectacular way to weave through sensational alpine scenery.<\/p>\n

\nAutumn shoulder season (September to November)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

With the arrival of fall in Switzerland, a season of celebration, the grape harvest, wine festivals and a bounty of produce awaits. Experience local traditions with events like the Autumn Festival in Lugano, the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland, and the Grape Harvest Festival in Neuch\u00e2tel. There are even cow festivals to keep you entertained.<\/p>\n

Fewer crowds and pleasant temperatures combined with foliage turning vibrant shades of red, orange and yellow make this the best time to visit Switzerland if you love a more tranquil break. Autumn brings cooler temperatures, ranging from 50\u00b0F to 59\u00b0F (10\u00b0C to 15\u00b0C) in September to 36\u00b0F to 46\u00b0F (2\u00b0C to 8\u00b0C) in November, so time to break out those warmer coats and colors.<\/p>\n

Pay a visit to the vineyards of the Lavaux region and enjoy wine tasting. This picturesque UNESCO World Heritage site sees fields of vines stacked on the banks of Lake Geneva. In fall the weather remains pleasant for hiking, with trails less crowded than in summer – the Engadine Valley is particularly beautiful in autumn. If you are not familiar with Swiss wines then we recommend the 2018 Heida Barrique from Valais\u2019 St. Jodern Kellerei winery and the 2018 Gentil Premier Cru, from Domaine Les Hutins in Geneva. According to the Decanter World Wine Awards<\/a>, these are two of the best wines in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

With the sounds of cow bells ringing out over the mountains \u201calpabzug\u201d or \u201cd\u00e9salpe\u201d, the return of the cows from their alpine pastures, is quite a sight. This centuries old tradition is celebrated across much of Switzerland between mid-September and mid-October, with cattle fairs, wine festivals and cheese festivals. Particularly impressive are the\u202fd\u00e9salpe in Saint-Cergue, where around 700 cows, goats, donkeys and dogs walk with their shepherds through the village center.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Winter (December to February)<\/h2>\n

\"White<\/p>\n

Winter in Switzerland needs little introduction. Home to some of the world\u2019s most famous, and exclusive, ski resorts including Zermatt, Verbier, St. Moritz and Davos amongst them, it\u2019s a world-class destination for skiing and snowboarding. Sensational mountains brim with charming villages and apres-ski. Fondue, tartiflette and hot chocolate reign in the eateries.<\/p>\n

Winter temperatures range from 28\u00b0F to 39\u00b0F (-2\u00b0C to 4\u00b0C) in the lowlands, with much colder temperatures in the mountains, snow is abundant, especially in the alpine regions. Enjoy the White Turf horse race in St Moritz on the frozen lake.<\/p>\n

In the cities and towns, Christmas markets twinkle and entice. Experience the festive season at Christmas markets in cities like Zurich, Basel, Montreux and Lausanne. They often include traditional crafts such as candle dipping for the children to try. Artisan baked goods, handcrafted gifts, dried meats, gourmet cheeses, Christmas d\u00e9cor and lots of gl\u00fchwein.<\/p>\n
