In view of the flood of tourists that flock into Switzerland in July and August, my wife and I have decided to avoid those two months for a planned in trip in 2026. We'd rather take our chances with the weather at high altitudes than visit during the feeding frenzy.
Do think we'd be better off weather-wise if we plan our trip for the last two weeks of June or the first two weeks of September?
We are more interested in the sights and attractions of Switzerland at the middle and lower altitudes than the novelty of being at high altitude, although a couple of high altitude excursions are a must. We are planning a two-week trip starting and ending in Zurich that will not include Appenzell, Upper Engadine or Lugano - the eastern side of the country.
