You are here: Europe --> Switzerland --> When to go


When to go



The best time to visit Switzerland runs from late spring to early autumn (May to September).
Late winter and early spring (February-March) are recommended for a ski holiday, since the days are longer than in December and January. In some resorts located at high altitude, you can ski even in summer.
If you want to go hiking in the mountains, summer is a good time, although thunderstorms erupt quite frequently in the afternoon.

What to pack



In winter: pack warm clothes, such as a down jacket, a hat, a scarf, gloves, and a raincoat or umbrella.
In summer: pack light clothes, T-shirts and shorts, but also long pants, a jacket and a sweater for the evening and for cooler days; a raincoat or umbrella. For the mountains, bring hiking shoes, sunscreen and sunglasses; add warmer clothes for the highest peaks.
