When it comes to planning a customized trip to Switzerland, you can do it months in advance, but is it necessary? Our travel experts in Switzerland can accommodate personalization requests up to three weeks before your trip, but ideally, they recommend starting the process four to six weeks in advance. This gives you the best chance to secure boutique accommodations, premium rail passes, and exclusive experiences tailored to your travel goals.

Besides this, it’s also crucial to decide when you will travel to Switzerland. Summer (June to September) is the high season, with warm weather and clear skies ideal for scenic train rides, lake cruises, and hiking, though it’s also the busiest and priciest period.

The shoulder seasons; spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November), are the sweet spots to explore Switzerland. Spring brings alpine blooms and quiet trails, while autumn offers golden forests, crisp air, and harvest festivals. From November to March, Switzerland turns into a winter wonderland for skiers, snowboarders, and Christmas market enthusiasts. Read our month-by-month guide with seasonal overview.

At Bookmundi, you can request for custom Switzerland holidays ranging from 2 days to weeks. So whether you have a long weekend or several weeks to spare, our travel experts can create a custom Switzerland itinerary. With just a few days, you can enjoy a cultural city break in Bern, Zurich, or Geneva, soaking up art, architecture, and lakefront views. A 7-day itinerary allows for a balance of city exploration and Alpine escape, perhaps combining Zurich, Lucerne, and a few nights in Interlaken or Zermatt.

If you have 10 to 14 days, you can journey deeper: glide along the Aletsch Glacier, ride the Glacier Express across snow-clad valleys, or visit Saint Moritz and Verbier, where luxury meets adventure. Two weeks in Switzerland opens the door to a seamless mix of iconic highlights and lesser-known gems — from the vineyards of Lavaux to the hiking trails of Lauterbrunnen and Mürren.

Start your Swiss journey in Zurich, the country’s stylish heart where medieval streets meet modern design. Visit its lakeside promenade, explore the historic Lindenhof quarter, and experience its vibrant café culture. In Lucerne, wander across the iconic Chapel Bridge before setting sail on Lake Lucerne, framed by snowcapped peaks. For romance and timeless charm, head to Lake Geneva, home to elegant lakeside towns and the fairytale Chillon Castle.

Cheese lovers will find paradise in La Gruyère, where you can tour traditional fromageries and taste the country’s most famous export. For outdoor thrills, tackle parts of the Alpine Pass Route, or cycle through scenic stretches near Le Fou. In Gstaad, breathe in crisp mountain air and watch gliders soar against a backdrop of chalets and forests. And for the ultimate scenic experience, hop aboard the Glacier Express, Switzerland’s most legendary train, as it winds past glaciers, valleys, and the dramatic Rhine Gorge. Learn more.

A customized trip to Switzerland is a premium experience, and like it or not, it comes with a matching price tag. Our travel experts require a minimum of USD 400 per person per day to organize a Swiss holiday, reflecting the country’s high cost of accommodation, transport, and activities. While Switzerland is expensive, the value lies in our flawless organization, world-class scenery, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
