When visit Switzerland

Switzerland looks fantastic throughout the year and can be visited at any time. If you want to spend your time on activities such as hiking or sightseeing then late spring or autumn is best. The lakes are warmer in summer and water-sports are more fun at this time. Most ski areas are open between November and May, but at those resorts with glaciers, like Zermatt, you can see all year round, although would just be mornings, before the sun gets too far overhead, but leaves the rest of the day for other pursuits.

Recommended Swiss drives

Take the road around the north shore of Lake Geneva links Geneva to Lausanne and Montreux. Parts of the roads are raised and give commanding views of the lake. Chateau de Chillon is a magical edifice just south of Montreux. Martigny is 40kms south of the chateau and one end of the legendary Great St Bernard Pass to Bourg St Pierre. The pass is noted for its stunning mountains. Martigny has ample draws among which are a well-preserved Roman amphi-theatre and the Earth Science Museum. In the high-altitude Alps south of Lucerne, three interconnected passes offer an unmissable road trip.The three passes are the Furka, Grimsel and Susten. Brig-Glis is home to the fabulous Stockalper Palace and the east end of the passes. The Furka pass was immortalised in the James Bond film, Goldfinger. If you are landing at Sion Airport, then one resort you might be going to is Zermatt is a must see ski resort at anytime of the year. The town nestles in a bowl of five mountain peaks, capped by spectacular views of the very impressive Matterhorn mountain. These conditions guarantee excellent snow conditions for skiers, snowboarders and langlaufers in winter. There are also a number of safe walkways through the mountains for the non skier. In fact spring, summer and autumn, are also popular times for mountain bikers, hill walkers, shoppers and even skiers who can ski the glacier at Klein Matterhorn all year round. Cars are not allowed in the town of Zermatt and are left at the train station below Zermatt, and everyone catches the train into the town centre, where electrified taxis are waiting to take you to your hotel. This should make walking around the beautiful streets much safer, but you still need to keep an ear out for the electrified noise of a taxi sneaking up behind you. However a taxi is most welcome for getting home after a long day skiing, especially if stopping for some apres-ski in the Popperla Pub or Grampis.
