Seasonal & Weather Considerations
Understanding Switzerland seasonal nuances ensures smoother travel:
Spring (April–June) :
Waterfalls gush, meadows bloom, and crowds are light — perfect for nature walks and
lake cruises.
Summer (July–September):
Best time for alpine hikes, glacier access, scenic train rides (like Glacier
Express), and full-blown festivals.
Winter (December–March):
Skiing in Zermatt or Verbier, Christmas markets in Lucerne, snow activities in
Jungfraujoch and Mount Titlis.
Avoid late October:
early December if you’re not into foggy weather and shoulder-season closures.
