    Hi Yhsu Krishna,

    Personally I would recommend sometime between mid September and early October, before we switch back to daylight saving time. But it really depends on what your plans are. You can find practical tips from this quick guide on the best time to visit: http://www.myswissalps.com/besttimetovisit

    Hope this helps

    Regards,

    Anna

    Due to family circumstances not all related to Covid I made a trip from UK to Switzerland in 2021. I was unable to fit in as hoped in September but was ‘forced’ to visit in early October. However apart from 1 day the conditions were excellent, see accompanying pictures:

    The pictures show Geneva tramway with the Jura Mountains behind, some storks in the Rhine valley in northern Switzerland, The Lotschberger train with some Bernese Oberland peaks behind (some with the first light snowfall on them) and a beautiful bright morning outside the Novotel / ibis Bern Expo
