Finding Swiss greenland scenery with cows in March

Short summary – read this first

A traveler is curious about the possibility of seeing green fields and cows in Swiss villages during March. They wonder if there are any areas where this might be possible despite the season. Many replies suggest that late March could allow for such sightings, especially in the low-altitude regions.

Key takeaways:
  • Visiting lower altitude areas in late March may provide opportunities to see green fields and cows.
  • Train rides from Luzern to Bern through the Emmental Region are recommended for typical Swiss scenery.
  • Cows can be found in rural and agricultural areas year-round due to animal welfare laws, even in winter.

    What are your travel constraints? There might be something south of the Alps in March.

    There are likely to be cows in green fields in the low altitude parts of Switzerland (the ‘Mittelland’) especially if it is late March. You do not have to visit the Alps to see typical Swiss scenery and villages. Many of the most ‘Swiss’ villages are in fact to be found in the ‘lowland’ regions

    Take a train ride from Luzern to Bern via Langnau through the Emmental Region. I bet you see some green fields and cows there.

    Hello Yshu Krishna,

    In rural areas and in agricultural areas you will always get to see cows in the fields, even in winter, as animal protection law obliges all farmers to allow each animal a minimum of 30 out of 90 days outdoors in winter. Just head into the countryside, wherever you are. 🙂

    The only thing is that the green might not yet be so intensive in March.

    Enjoy.

    Best,
    Steph
