Best Time to Visit
For winter sports, December to March offers the best snow conditions. Summer (June to September) is ideal for hiking and outdoor activities with pleasant temperatures. Spring and fall offer fewer crowds and beautiful landscapes in transition.
Getting Around
Switzerland has an excellent public transportation system. Consider purchasing a Swiss Travel Pass for unlimited travel on trains, buses, and boats. Mountain villages are often car-free, with efficient cable cars and funiculars connecting them.
What to Pack
Pack layers regardless of the season, as mountain weather can change quickly. Bring sturdy hiking boots, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a good camera. For winter visits, proper snow gear is essential, though most resorts offer rental equipment.
Local Currency
Switzerland uses the Swiss Franc (CHF), not the Euro. While credit cards are widely accepted, having some cash is useful in smaller villages. Switzerland is expensive compared to neighboring countries, so budget accordingly.
