When is the Best Time to Visit Switzerland?

I’m often asked the question: When is the best time to visit Switzerland? To be honest, there is no best time for every single person – what’s best for you may not work for the next traveller.  

If you’re wondering when to visit Switzerland, this episode will help you to decide.  I’m joined by Birgit Weingartner, the Marketing Manager for Switzerland Tourism Australia and New Zealand, and we discuss the pros and cons of visiting Switzerland at different times throughout the year.

We chat about some of the popular events that take place in Switzerland and what to expect in terms of weather in the different seasons.

There are other considerations to keep in mind, too. The best time of year to visit Switzerland for you may depend on when you can get time off work, whether you want to hike or ski in Switzerland, or when a particular event is taking place.

If you want to visit the mountains, the best time to go to the Swiss Alps is probably not at the end of autumn as a couple of the Swiss panoramic trains and some of the mountain cableways and funiculars don’t operate at this time of year. 

Of course, in my opinion, any time is a good time to visit Switzerland but knowing what to expect before you arrive will help to you choose the ideal time for you to visit.

Safe travels,

Carolyn
