When to Go: |
Switzerland definitely
experiences seasons -- winter can bring a fair
amount of snow while summer can be sunny and sultry
but the weather is rarely extreme. Temperatures in
summer can climb to the 30s°C (90s°F) or even mid
30s°C (mid 90s°F).
June is the ideal month
for a tour of Switzerland, followed by either
September or October, when the mountain passes are
still open. During summer the country is usually
overrun with tourist traffic. September can be quite
rainy, but October offers sunny weather with
temperatures on their 20s°C (70s°F), which is
perfect for hiking in the Alps even in high
altitude. |
