About Switzerland
With snow-capped Alps, forested hills, fairytale castles, Renaissance cathedrals, shimmering lakes, stylish spas and luxury ski resorts – it’s easy to see why Switzerland has been one of the world’s top tourist destinations for the past two centuries.
It’s the country that fashioned tourism, so it’s no surprise that Switzerland caters to visitors all year round. In spring and summer it offers lakeside chalets, mountain trails and spa resorts. In the sunny southern region of Ticino, near the Italian border, visitors will find palm-fringed Riviera-style resorts offering a host of water sports.
Those keen on hiking and mountaineering will find over 31,000 miles (50,000km) of mountain and forest trails throughout the country.
Switzerland Climate and Weather
The climate in Switzerland is pleasantly temperate, with no extremes of hot and cold, making it a great place to visit anytime of year. Average temperatures in Zurich (Switzerland's capital) range between 27°F to 36°F (-3°C to 2°C) in January, and 55°F and 75°F (13°C to 24°C) in July. Summer, from about June to September, is usually warm and although there are lots of outdoor activities on offer, this tends to be when the country is most crowded. Ski resorts open their doors in late November and remain so until the snow starts to melt, usually in April.
