Why go in June
Green pastures, open hiking trails, clear peaks
About Swiss Alps
The Swiss Alps pack glaciers, turquoise lakes and storybook villages into a country you can cross in an afternoon. Cog railways and cable cars climb to peaks that stay snow-dusted into summer, while the valleys below stay green and walkable.
When to go
June to September is hiking season, when the high passes are clear of snow and the meadows are in full flower. Summer also opens the mountain railways — book a Jungfraujoch 'Top of Europe' ticket or a Mount Titlis cable car pass ahead, as the best morning slots go quickly.
What it costs indicative, varies by date
Things to do book tickets & tours
Ride the train to Jungfraujoch, cruise Lake Lucerne, and walk the trails above Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen. For one unforgettable day, a Glacier Express scenic rail journey or a guided summit excursion shows off the range without a car.
