Summer Season: The temperature in Switzerland in August may rise as high as 24°C, and therefore it is the hottest month in Switzerland. July and August are the high seasons when people can enjoy various activities like hiking, biking, paragliding, and others. September also offers the same activities but at a lower temperature.

The months of January and February are the Switzerland snowfall months when the temperature is lowest, and one gets to see the place covered in snow. Switzerland’s winter months are most suitable for snow activities like skiing. Many ski restaurants increase their prices for tourists during this time of the year. Hiking is also possible during this season but only at lower altitudes.

Peak Winters: Months of January and February are the peak winter season months. The days are short and the entire area is covered in snow. If you want to see the winter sports than plan a visit to Switzerland in the months of January and February.

    Anubhuti's 8 days trip to Switzerland

    I travelled to Paris and Switzerland with my mother and our trip was nicely planned and organised by Holidayhub. Yeeshu was helpful since the very first day of booking the package and helped us well in getting through Visa and all vouchers. Prashant was available throughout the trip via phone, and m
    ade sure that all our questions get answered. Whilest covering Europe, traveler should make sure that they have got all the required information and vouchers before leaving, and since it is more of an exploring nature trip, henceforth it will be an all together different experience using the trams, trains and local transport of Europe. We are very happy and satisfied. Journey to Jungfrau via trains and stops at Grindelwald, Lauterburnn and kleidge was the best part of this trip.
