Frequently Asked Questions
Switzerland can be visited any time of the year, but it depends on what you are seeking. If you are seeking turquoise lakes and green Alps, it is in Summer. If you are seeking snowcapped Swiss Alps and dark blue lakes, the best time is end of March to end of April and end of October to the end of November. Lastly, if you are more into skiing or winter hikes, the best time is December to March.
To have the perfect vacation in Switzerland, you should plan to spend at least 12 days. This will enable you to cover each region that it represents in a short amount of time. The Ticino region, the Bernese Highlands, the Bernina Express, the Glacier Express, the formation of Switzerland around Lake Lucerne, Lake Geneva, and the Lavaux heritage.
A tour in Switzerland can be as little as CHF 80 per person and can go as high as CHF 700, depending on if you are seeking a walking tour of Basel or a tour to the Jungfrau region.
The best way to see Switzerland would be by train. Small towns such as Wengen, Mürren and Zermatt are perched in the middle of the Swiss Alps and only accessible in that way. Also, you will have the opportunity to enjoy scenic journeys along Lake Thun, Brienz, and on the Glacier Express, Bernina Express, the Gotthard Panorama Express, and Panoramic Express on the Golden Pass line.
Although Switzerland is known to be expensive, it is not always the case. The best months to come with a strict budget will be between October, beginning of December, and April to May.
In Switzerland, you have 4 main languages. The most dominant is German (each state has its own dialect: Swiss German), French, Italian, and Romansh. With this being said, English is widely spoken throughout Switzerland due to trade and tourism. If one does speak two of the main language, they will certainly speak English.
Switzerland can accommodate all types of budgets depending on whether you stay for 1, 2, 3 or 10 days. We would recommend getting the Swiss Travel Pass if you are traveling for more than a week. It allows you to travel unlimitedly by train and to museums for free. This is great if you are on a budget. If you are traveling for fewer days and looking to explore, we would recommend the half-fare travel Pass, which gives you a 50% discount on rail tickets and mountain passes.
7 days in Switzerland can cost anywhere between CHF 1500 up to CHF 3000 per person. If you would like to visit Zermatt (Matterhorn and Gornegrat) and the Jungfraujoch, take the Glacier Express from Chur to Zermatt, or the Bernina Express from Chur to Tirano via St. Moritz, or if you prefer a quiet vacation along the Lake of four cantons (Lake Lucerne), or Lake Geneva.
Travelling to Switzerland for 5 days wouldn’t require having any cash on you. Switzerland being the country of banking, you can pay by credit card in every restaurant, museum, mountain attractions, and other outlets. There are also ATMs across each town or city in case cash is required. You can always withdraw on the spot.
Planning a Swiss tour is very easy. You can contact us directly, or browse through a selection of private tours and small group tours that we offer from Basel, Bern, Lucerne and Zurich which are performed by our own local guides.
On average, a meal will cost CHF 40 per person; however, it depends on where you dine. On this budget, you will be able to get a salad or desert (Apfelstrudel), Bratwurst with onion sauce, a Rösti, and a Swiss Beer; one of the most traditional meals in Switzerland.
No car is required to tour Switzerland. The most traditional way of transportation is via train. This enables you to explore scenic regions and small alpine towns that are not accessible by car. Although some other areas such as Davos, Lavaux, and Lauterbrunnen are best accessible by car, you rent your car with us.
US nationals do not need a visa to travel to Switzerland or the Schengen area for a traveling period of 90 days. The best airport to come to Switzerland is Basel EuroAirport, Zurich Flughafen or Geneva Airport.
