April | A Swiss April awakening
The next month is an exciting one, as we rev up for what looks set to be THE event of the season, the Detour Discotheque atop the mighty Schilthorn. Glacier 3000 announces good news, while St. Moritz celebrates all things art with a focus on environmental issues. Also new is the fairytale Märchen Hotel in central Switzerland.
March-ing into spring
March brings with it spring skiing, and where better than the Matterhorn Ski Paradise, Europe’s highest ski area? Also well worth a visit this spring are Lausanne, which has launched four new gourmet tours and Bern, which stuns this time of year thanks to its vibrant cherry blossoms. And over in London, the Royal Academy has just opened its new exhibition celebrating the influential 18th-century Swiss painter Angelica Kauffmann.
February | Swiss bliss in the lead-up to spring
This month is known as the fifth season in Switzerland; the few weeks of the year when carnival traditions take over! Another one-of-a-kind Swiss experience is a husky sleigh ride in Zermatt with breath-taking views of the Matterhorn. Lastly, this month marks the 100th anniversary of the Parsenn Derby, one of the country’s oldest ski races, which will take place on 29 February.
January | Fresh winter fun
We’re thrilled to report that winter is in full swing in Switzerland, with resorts across the coun‐try enjoying optimum ski conditions! This season, we are encouraging visitors to experience skiing in fun new ways, with sunrise skiing now available in Saas-Fee and solar-panelled cross-country skiing in Les Diablerets and much more also including activities for non-skiers!

November | Switzerland and winter? It’s a perfect match
Believe it or not, November is here, and with it, the highest Christmas market in Europe, Bern’s annual onion festival, two new hotels in Mürren and Nendaz about to open for their first full winter season, a new viewing platform on First, and the new Cotton Club in Andermatt, which is revving up for a winter of fine dining and après!
October | It’s all about autumn
Exciting news awaits in October. The opening of the CERN Science Gateway, or the first edition of the Raclette World Championships in Valais, something to suit every taste! Let’s not forget that cold days are approaching…Engelberg-Titlis will be the first Swiss ski resort to open this winter, where a group media trip will be organized in February 2024.
September | Not long now till winter
Before winter takes over, there is still time to enjoy all the activities on offer during the glorious autumn months. Think of hikes and train rides through colourful landscapes and total immersion in cultural activities such as concerts at the KKL Lucerne, a stay at the reopened Grace La Margna Hotel in St Moritz or a day at its annual mountain race for vintage cars.
August | Summer vibes all round
August is here and summer is well under way: be it dipping toes in fountains in Swiss city centres, hike in mysterious canyons or follow the classic Via Alpina route. On the transport front, this month sees the 125th anniversary of the Gornergrat, and visitors may catch a glimpse of a new green Swisstainable locomotive on the tracks…
June | Keep cool and beat the heat
On these hot summer days, it’s essential to keep your energy up. New experiences at the Hotel LuganoDante, with the Rigi Railway, and in Zermatt open in June, just in time for summer! There are plenty of other activities for car and wine lovers to discover this month.
May | Switzerland’s got you covered
In May, you can expect new carriages on Mount Pilatus, special events for the 150th anniversary of the operating boat company CGN, opening of the 15th edition of the Bex & Arts Triennial in Bex and many cycling races in the coming months. Rest assured, Switzerland’s got it covered.
