Welcome to MySwissAlps!

Based on your plans, I’d suggest travelling to Switzerland during the warmer seasons. I think late spring to late summer would be ideal. You can find information about the the best months to visit based on activities here: https://www.myswissalps.com/planning/practical/best-time-to-visit/
