The Ultimate Switzerland Summer Travel Guide

Switzerland in summer is a storybook come to life — emerald meadows, glassy lakes reflecting snow-capped peaks, and trains that cling impossibly to mountainsides. It's the season when the Alps truly open up.

Start in Zurich, wander through Lucerne's medieval old town, then board the panoramic trains that connect the country's most spectacular scenery. Interlaken is your base for Jungfraujoch — the Top of Europe — and adventure sports of every kind.

Don't miss the Glacier Express, a scenic rail journey through the heart of the Alps, or a sunset cruise on Lake Geneva. Swiss hospitality, punctual trains and pristine nature make this one of the most effortless destinations on Earth.

With a Swiss Travel Pass, unlimited travel by train, bus and boat is at your fingertips. Add mountain excursions and cable cars, and you have the makings of a flawless summer holiday.
