Switzerland is one of the most stunning countries in the world to visit, regardless of which season you go. It is stunningly beautiful, clean, easy to get around, and a safe country with great activities to showcase.
The summers in Switzerland are one of the most beautiful times in the country. Stunning and colorful valleys are surrounded by yellow and white flowers, making a lovely display on the green grass. Blue skies, emerald lakes, and even snow-capped peaks are available for your eyes to view.
Here are some activities you can do in Switzerland during summer:
See Mount Pilatus
A trip to Mount Pilatus might be hard, but it is worth every step. Mount Pilatus is found in the region of Lucerne, surrounded by Lake Lucerne. The trip up the mountain includes a boat ride up to Alpnachstad. From there, you can take the world’s steepest cogwheel railway to the summit.
After some time at the peak, have a nice meal at one of the amazing restaurants that provide a panoramic view of the surrounding Alps. Frakmuntegg has the longest toboggan run, which you can participate in once you’re on your way down. From Frakmuntegg to Drachenalp, the fastest transportation is through the Dragon Glider.
Visit Zurich
Zurich is one of the places that is often overlooked by visitors, often just used as the entry and exit points of travelers, but the city is very vibrant and has tons to offer. An Old Town with narrow streets, small family cafes, artisan shops as well as churches can be found in Zurich.
There are art museums and museums dedicated to history, trams, money, and football in the city. Besides that, they also have zoos that one shouldn’t miss. At nighttime, visit Uetliberg mountain to gaze at a wonderful panoramic view of the city. Some of the museums are included in your Swiss Travel Pass cost and some offer reduction with the pass.
Jet Boat Ride in the Interlaken
A jet boat ride between two lakes is one of the fun things one can do in Switzerland. The lakes Thun and Brienz offer fun and beautiful cruises for visitors. There are two ways to enjoy the boat ride, one is riding the public transport and exploring the lakeside villages. The other one is an evening cruise that includes dinner, a romantic ride for lovers.
But the best ride is the adrenaline-pumping jet boat ride. Within 45 minutes you’ll be able to do a full circle of the 30 km route. The ride allows you to witness the Giessbach Falls that adds a beautiful scenic moment along with the adrenaline.
In addition to all that, you can also journey to the Harder Kulm. There’s only a small walk from the Interlaken Ost train station to the Harder Railway Valley Station. Within 10 minutes you can reach the summit. You can enjoy a lunch or dinner from the viewing platform that allows you to have a bird’s eye view of the Jungfrau Region and the scenic city of Interlaken.
