Switzerland mid-October -good weather, landscapes?
A traveler named Jatinsmehta is planning a trip to Switzerland in mid-October with his wife and 10-year-old son. They are seeking recommendations for weather conditions, as they prefer green landscapes and scenic views, and are unsure if October is the best month for that.
- For the best green landscapes, plan your visit between late June and early October.
- If you want to avoid crowds and still enjoy good weather, consider visiting in September.
- October can offer beautiful autumn colors, but weather can vary, so check forecasts before your trip.
- The Swiss Travel Pass is a good option for unlimited train travel throughout your stay.
- If you visit in May or June, be prepared for rain and bring an umbrella.

Hi Jatinsmehta,
If coming in October I would try and go as early in the month as possible for Green landscapes.
If you are looking for green pastures and scenic mountain trips, late June to early October is best for accessibility.
Hi Jatinsmehta –
The best month is September. Fewer tourists, still good weather.
If you want ‘GREEN’ come in May or June and bring an umbrella. 😉
However, the scenery may be hidden by clouds and rain.

I had beautiful weather and warm sunshine on 12 – 14 October 2017.
I think October can be better than September – better autumn tree colours for one.
Looks fantastic, thanks for your valuable inputs – means a lot to me
Hi 1960man –
<<“I think October can be better than September – better autumn tree colours for one.”>>
Certainly it “can” be.
I was rushing a bit, but you will note that I linked to a useful page.
I should have used the phrase “on average.”
October is a transition month and the weather on average worsens as October progresses.
I have had beautiful days in December, too, for that matter.
Altitude matters, too. Higher is colder….Lucas used the qualifying phrase “and scenic mountain trips, late June to early October is best for accessibility.”
