Is Switzerland warm in autumn? Will there still be big crowds? When does Switzerland\u2019s autumn foliage appear? Can I still see snow?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article will answer all your questions about what it\u2019s like to explore Switzerland in one of the best months of the year. Here\u2019s why you should choose September for your next Swiss escape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-switzerland-weather-and-crowds-in-september\">Switzerland weather and crowds in September<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/05\/switzerland-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-865066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/switzerland-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/switzerland-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/switzerland.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>September marks the beginning of autumn or fall, and the low season for tourism as the masses of European summer holidaymakers return to work and school. With generally warm, sunny weather across parts of the country, you can still enjoy blissful outdoor activities with much thinner crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it\u2019s a mountainous country, so if you are planning on travelling to Switzerland in September you\u2019ll need to pack warmer layers and jackets for those high altitude adventures. There\u2019s no fresh snow, and that means no winter ski sports, but there\u2019s plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy and you&#8217;ll still see snow covering the highest peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weather wise, September is a lovely month to visit. The city of Z\u00fcrich averages between 10.5\u00b0C (51\u00b0F) and 19\u00b0C (66\u00b0F), Lucerne receives similar weather while Geneva is a little warmer. If you head up into the high altitude of the Swiss Alps, expect average temperatures of around 7\u00b0C (45\u00b0F). September in Switzerland can bring a little bit of rain so pack a raincoat or umbrella too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/best-of-switzerland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best of Switzerland<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED BLOG: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/6-unmissable-natural-wonders-to-discover-in-switzerland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em><strong>6 unmissable natural wonders to discover in Switzerland<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-go-in-switzerland-in-autumn\">Where to go in Switzerland in autumn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/05\/Zurich-switzerland-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-865065\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Zurich-switzerland-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Zurich-switzerland-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Zurich-switzerland.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everywhere! With weather this brilliant, thinner crowds and all activities and stores open, September is the best month to visit Switzerland. This time of year Switzerland is overflowing with beauty and you\u2019ll want to visit the lakes, mountains and cities to experience it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the cities, like Zurich, Geneva, Lucerne, Bern and Basil, the streets are alive with locals enjoying the last weeks of pleasant weather before the cooler days of winter start to creep in. Enjoy lunch in the sunshine on warmer days, or get cosy indoors with fondue as the weather dips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/05\/switzerland-cows-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-865067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/switzerland-cows-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/switzerland-cows-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/switzerland-cows.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s harvest time for vineyards and fruit trees. Look for workers in the fields and grapevines hanging heavy with fruit as you journey through the countryside. If you pass through Valais, Switzerland&#8217;s top wine region, you can trek through the vines or enjoy a tasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like mountain hiking the trails will be quiet with no fresh snowfall, making it easier to navigate the trails without any icy surprises. Towards the end of the month the tree foliage will start changing to golden hues, a glorious contrast to the snowy mountain peaks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/switzerland-and-austria\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Switzerland &amp; Austria<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-september-events-in-switzerland\">September events in Switzerland<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/05\/switzerland-folklore-traditions-alphorn-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-865068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/switzerland-folklore-traditions-alphorn-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/switzerland-folklore-traditions-alphorn-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/switzerland-folklore-traditions-alphorn.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>September is a time of harvest in Switzerland.
