Everyone admires the green Switzerland, but did you know how wonderful it can be during AUTUMN? Autumn is the season of colors! Indian Summer down in the plains and golden Autumn up in the Swiss Alps. The best months to experience the colors of Autumn are October and November. In general, the colors start to show during the 2nd half of October and last for around 3-4 weeks. The Top 10 places to visit in Switzerland during Autumn combine serenity, colors and pristine nature. These can be found in the Jura region, around vignards and in the cantons of Valais, Ticino, Bernese Oberland and Graubünden. Of course, everywhere in Switzerland you can find beautiful spots. Really beautiful is the village of Romainmôtier in the Jura Vaudois with its nearby waterfalls. The Tine de Conflens, Cascade du Dard and Saut du Day are embedded into a beautiful forest, which shows it’s Indian Summer vibes from their best side! Eye-catching are the vignards around Ligerz in der Jura-3-Lakes region. In particular around the pilgrimage church it is very nice to go for a hike and walk among the golden vineyards. Although there will be many sunny days, October and November do not always have good weather. In that case the Grotte de Vallorbe may be a perfect place to visit; great to combine with Romainmôtier on sunny days. The vineyards of the world famous Lavaux are also dreamy to visit. Three major spots to go to would be the villages of Epesses, Saint-Saphorin and Rivaz. They are all serene; Saint-Saphorin has the view, Rivaz the hidden gem sort of feeling. Hike among the vineyards with their beautiful golden leaves and do not forget to enjoy the view over Lake Geneva (Lac Léman), especially during the sunset when the golden leaves will glow in red. This is one of the most beautiful things to experience during Autumn in Switzerland. Definitely, consider visiting lakes: The Lac Bleu in Arolla is very eye-catching. It is surrounded by many golden larches, very similar to the Lake of Palpuogna or the Silsersee in the Engadin region. These lakes are perfect to go for hiking. Lake Sils and Palpuogna can be easily reached by car, the Lac Bleu would have to be reached by hiking. The Lagh da Saoseo (Lake Saoseo) can be reached by hike or by Postauto bus (make mandatory reservations on sbb.ch). Lake Saoseo is surrounded by green spruces and golden larches and perfectly shines with its strong royal blue color. Definitely with the ensemble of colors, this place is probably the most unique to visit during Autumn season. Autumn is though not only about colors, it’s also quite a foggy season, especially during November. You may either enjoy the mystical side of the foggy weather by staying down in the Swiss plateau and walk in the forest full of fog. However, better use this often depressing weather to your advantage and consider going up to the peaks. The Fronalpstock or Aletsch Glacier are two among many spots where you can witness the cloud inversion. Standing above the fog, above a sea of clouds. This is one of the most unique phenomena one could get to see during Autumn. The highest chance for this is usually during November. This Top 10 Autumn in Switzerland list may give you some great idea, but it shall also be kept in mind that there are plenty of other beautiful places, and also cultural events to experience during this season!

Cloud 9 is here up on the Eggishorn! On a beautiful Sunday during October, my friend and me experienced the unexpected! Wanting to hike down to the Aletsch glacier from the Eggishorn, we instead arrived up in the snow, just standing right above the foggy sea. It was the kind of day to go for Plan B… but interestingly, Plan B happened to be even better than Plan A! Being surrounded by a mystical landscape of sea of clouds, the day eventually happened to be perfectly different!

![Top 10 SUMMER Switzerland – Best of / Highlights [Travel Guide]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Hb-gLFRMNmE/mqdefault.jpg "Top 10 SUMMER Switzerland – Best of / Highlights [Travel Guide]
Switzerland is very exciting to be visited during Summer (June, July, August and September) since pretty much all of the attractions are open. The country will be fully green, the days long and the weather warm. There will usually be a lot of sun and you can enjoy fantastic views over the Swiss Alps, roam around villages or cities or do more adventurous activities. Zurich is great to be visited during Summer, it’s warm, vibrant and there will be a lot of street cafes. Stroll through the alleys and walk along the Limmat quay or hang out at the Bellevue to enjoy Lake Zurich and the view to the Swiss Alps. The Rhone glacier at the Furka passroad is a highlight during Summer. You can visit the ice cave inside the glacier and overall enjoy a great drive up to the pass and down to the canton of Valais. You may also go for the Furka steam railway train that is one of the best nostalgic attractions of Switzerland. The rhinefalls is the highest river waterfall of Europe. It can be visited from the side of Schaffhausen or Zurich, where the first one is in general better. You can take the boat to the rock and stand in the middle of the waterfall. Otherwise take a boat to the side of Zurich, enjoy the views from the balconies and head up to the castle. Lake Lugano region is very exciting during Summer. You can visit the town of Lugano, head up to Mount San Salvatore or have a quiet time at the villages of Morcote or Gandria. Lugano is one of the most visited Swiss cities during Summer. The Giessbach falls are one of the best in all of Switzerland. There are 14 waterfalls that enchant any visitor. There is also the oldest still operating funicular of Switzerland and a nostalgic hotel. The grand hotel Giessbach. The interior is very beautiful and romantic. The Lavaux are the Swiss vineyard terraces at Lake Geneva. There are many great hiking trails among the vineyards and also the villages of Epesses and Saint-Saphorin. Besides the wine terraces you can also visit the Château de Chillon, Switzerland’s most beautiful castle by the lake. The Valle Verzasca is in Ticino and is the home to some of the best bathing places in Switzerland. There is the village of Lavertezzo that charms with its roman bridge and the clear waters. Also, visit the villages of Corippo and Sonogno, true gems in the Verzasca Valley. You may also go for a bungee jump at the Verzasca dam that is only possible to do during Summer in Switzerland. The Oeschinensee is one of the top attractions in all of Switzerland during Summer. Here you can have one of the best hikes and views in the Swiss Alps. The lake is very beautiful with its striking color but also enjoy the panorama with the Alps and the roller coaster that is just next to the cabin station. The Lauterbrunnen Valley, the valley of 72 waterfalls is one of the most visited regions in Switzerland during Summer. Many people come to Lauterbrunnen to see the many waterfalls, head up to Jungfrau or the Schilthorn. The village of Lauterbrunnen is also enchanting. The most beautiful place among the top 10 during Summer in Switzerland is the Aletsch Glacier. Here you can have one of the best alpine panoramas, see the massive bent of the glacier from the Eggishorn and have a great hike down to the eternal ice. The Aletsch glacier is the largest glacier of the Alps, 23 km of natural ice!
