Find activities and places to visit in Switzerland
Our Swiss activity finder allows you to filter on season, budget, interests, region, and more. We list scenic train and boat trips, mountains, hikes, and cultural trips, and provide our insider info on each excursion.
Some activities are best, or only available, in a particular season. Some cableways close in winter, for example. In the activity finder, you can filter the results by your travel months.
Excursions vary a lot in price. Some are free. Others are discounted or free for train pass holders. You can filter on price in the activity finder.
All activities listed here are day trips. Go here for multi-day itineraries.
If you’re a first-time visitor, I suggest including at least one scenic train ride, one boat ride, and one mountain top.
