Switzerland is hands down one of the most incredible places to travel. Therefore, to get the full adventure feel we suggest you go on a summer road trip in Switzerland. You may ask yourself why you should embark on a road trip through Switzerland? Because you will be driving along roads and passing landscape that feel like unreal.

You will be experiencing a total freedom!  Stop on many great and unique photogenic places that have not yet seen on the Instagram places in Switzerland list..

This summer road trip in Switzerland will be an adventure you will talk for many years to come.

Summer Road Trip in Switzerland – Over view

In this article we will guide you to Switzerland’s most attractive tourist destinations on a road trip.

We planned offbeat and unique places to visit in Switzerland as well, which allows a good mix of both.

To cover the accommodations along this Swiss road trip, we decided to make a mix of camping, Airbnb, and Hotels in Switzerland.

Although we did this road trip in Switzerland during our summer school break, you can easily complete the same trip in late spring or early autumn. The only thing we suggest you check with the mountain cable car stations on whether they are still operating. Some will go on a break during shoulder seasons.

And to answer your question, When best to visit Switzerland, – all year round! You better have to ask yourself what you want to do and see in Switzerland. But for this road trip it is definitely best to come in summer.

All seasons in Switzerland are beautiful and special. The summer months in Switzerland are usually from mid June to September.

Good to know: Some of the places we have choses during this summer road trip through Switzerland are up the mountain. Just be prepared for any weather the 4 seasons in Switzerland can bring!

On our Road Trip Map through Switzerland, you will find the best Swiss viewpoints, the crazy cable car ride we rode, accommodation and beautiful hikes in Switzerland.

For Who is this Summer Road Trip Through Switzerland?

This summer road trip is for everyone. We will show you some of the

most amazing views, great Swiss hikes, and beautiful Swiss Alpine Lakes on an amazing road trip through Switzerland.

The time you spend in each place I will leave to you, as everyone has different ideas about a road trip through Switzerland. And as there is much to do in summer in Switzerland, just make sure you are not stressing this road trip.

You can easily stay longer in places, skip some completely and even add on if you wish.

Although I have listed a lot of unique Swiss places to see, for sure there are plenty of others, but I just simply could not list them all. Otherwise this article for our Summer road trip through Switzerland would be a year road trip. Which I would not mind actually.

What Do You Need for this Summer Road Trip Through Switzerland ?

An adventurous spirit, lots of fun, and a car. This is not a trip I would recommend to use the public transport system unless you have lot of time and more stops would be required.

However if you do have the time, why not hop on the train, bus, maybe even a ship. You can get some great deals with the Swiss Travel Pass. I have put together a perfect guide to travel Switzerland  on a lesser budget. You will find all kinds of different public transport tickets on there as well.

But back to the car. It just gives you a bit more flexibility on the whole trip, rather than checking your watch throughout the day, and having constantly the train time table under your nose.

Things You Will Find on Our Summer Road Trip in Switzerland

Great destinations, some of which  are lesser known than others. Amazing Swiss hikes and plenty of road side vistas.

I have not detailed it down to the hour, I will let you do this. You will also not really find lots of accommodation recommendations on here.

I have stated where we overnighted, because it suited us. Now, you might be looking for more luxurious accommodation, or maybe you are even travelling in your RV or mini bus.

Therefore, please, if you like our choices do book them and if not just seek some others.

Switzerland has plenty of choices. A few destinations and hikes are linked to the full article on our blog. This way you can get more in depth information on a place.

Bear with me please, not all have a full documented blog article, yet. I am working on this over the winter and will link them to here. But for now, I wanted to give you some great ideas about an amazing road trip in Switzerland.

Summer Road Trip in Switzerland in a nutshell

When we were planning our road trip, the overall goal was to get to as many places we have not yet visited in Switzerland.

But we also did not want to drive every day for hours, that would not make sense at all.

Our Summer Road Trip Itinerary through Switzerland

We started our road trip in Valais – our home.

Valais – Sion- Castle Valère & les Iles

Day 1: Whether you’re starting this summer road trip through Switzerland in Sion or if you are passing through, you definitely need to make a stop here. Start with a visit to the beautiful Sion Valère Cathedral and the Tourbillon Ruins.  The Valais town Sion, which is also the Cantonal capital city is dominated by the two famous hills of Valeria and Tourbillon.

Whilst walking through the old town in Sion, you will pass cosy coffee shops, arts and crafts artisanal shops and museums. If you are visiting during the autumn months then do not miss this most beautiful autumn hike  along the Mont d’Orge vineyards and hill near to Sion.

You will have an amazing view from the top of the Valère Cathedral over the Valais Valley. After the Cathedral visit hike up to the Tourbillon ruins. A fun place to step back in time.

If you have not yet had lunch, head to the Domaines Les Iles. An oasis close to the city yet so far away from it. A beautiful lake surrounded by large trees makes this the ideal place for a rest. Walk around the lake or if you are taking your bikes on your summer road trip through Switzerland, then it is now time to take them off the hook.

Especially, if you are travelling with younger kids, a great place to cycle in safety. After your ride, have a swim, maybe even rent a paddle-board. If you still need more then check out our suggested Activities with kids in Valais article.

Hotels in Valais

There are plenty of great rental chalets a bit up the mountain. If you are looking for a camp site near Sion why not try the TCS camping at Les ills. Or the cosy Moxy hotel next to the castles and quite central.

If you are travelling in from Geneva Airport, Sion is a good place to stop and spend the night.

Berner Oberland – Kandersteg – Oeschinensee Hike

Day 2: Welcome to Switzerlands amazing car trains. From Valais you are taking the Goppenstein Car train to Kandersteg in Canton Bern.

Once in Kandersteg you will be hopping on the cable car up to the Oeschinensee.

Here is the full article of the Oeschinensee in Kandersteg, how to get there and some easy hikes, like to the viewpoint in the picture below

Or maybe you like to to the panorama hike at Oeschinensee for more advanced hikers.

Lauterbrunen – Day Visit

You will probably have heard of the famous Lauterbrunnen Valley. It features many beautiful waterfalls and I believe there are more than 72 in total. The 300m-­high Staubbach Falls claims the popularity prize.

It is also the central point from where you can head up to Grindelwald, Wengen, Mürren and the Schilthorn which are all part of the Jungfrau Region.

Check out our list of the 17+ Things to do in Lauterbrunnen

Mürren – Almendhubel

After you have visited the Lauterbrunnen Valley, carry on with this epic summer road trip through Switzerland and head to the car-free village of Mürren.

Nestled on a plateau with an epic view of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau right in front of your eyes. Mürren is also a good choice to overnight.

Park your car at Schilthornbahn Valley station in  Stechelberg and take the cable car up to the plateau.

After you have checked into your hotel in Mürren – we stayed at the Sports Hotel, cheap and cheerful – have a stroll though the Swiss village and admire the view.

Day 3: Hop onto the funicular which is situated in the middle of the village.

This will bring you up to the Almendhubel Flower Park, a kid’s paradise with a short flower trail for the whole family to enjoy. Plan enough time to stay up here as the playground is amazing!

And if you are overnighting in Mürren for a further night, you will have no stress leaving early. We finished this day by hiking back down to Mürren along the Kids Adventure Trail where a further 2 more play areas await.

Schilthorn Piz Gloria – Thrill Walk in Birg

Day 4: Are you ready for a James Bond 007 experience? And what about a thrill walk to make your adrenaline pump?

Then this will be your day. First, take the cable car from Mürren up to Birg at 2677m altitude. I am assuming you have spent the night in Mürren so make the most out of this and try to be on the 1st lift. This way you may be able to experience the Thrill Walk in Birg station alone or at least without all the day visitors that may arrive with the next few cable cars.

Stunning views await along the glass bottom walk which gives you a good view over the mountains but also a few 100m down. Not to be missed, the walk through the wire tube! Would you dare? See the photo below.

Up at Birg 2267m on the Thrill Walk, Schilthorn Piz Gloria

After you have taken your family picture on the pink carpet, our daughters favourite, jump back into the cable car and meet James Bond 007!

Schilthorn Piz Gloria was the film location for the James Bond movie Her Majesty’s Secret Service in 1969. In the meantime, the whole area has been perfectly transformed into a mini museum.

If you are not a James Bond fan you might be converted after this visit to the Schilthorn Piz Gloria. The whole setup is very well done.

All the information, both inside and outside, plus all the interactive stations, make this a top experience. Plus you can marvel at some of Switzerland’s finest vistas.

To get your Schilthorn Piz Gloria Tickets online check with GetYour Guide.

Overnight at Innterkirchen & Visit Rosenlaui Tal

After your visit to the Schilthorn Piz Gloria make your way back to your car and drive (45 minutes) to Innterkirchen. We staid at the simple but beautiful Camp site Grund.for 2 nights

If you rather like to stay in a hotel brows on Booking.com for a great deal. You could also sleep around the Interlaken region.

This is an area where you have plenty of activities to check out. We made sure that on our way to the campsite we had some spare time and drove up to the Rosenlaui Tal.

You may have seen the view along the river to the Rosenlaui Glacier on Instagram. If you like it then this will be your goal.

There is a pay station to drive the Rosenlaui Tal and the road is winding up the valley for quite some time. Along the way, you have the possibility to visit the Rosenlaui Glacier Gorges but we just opted for the view further up the road. You could easily spend the whole day here whilst hiking and discovering this beautiful area further.

Grimsel Valley – Gelmerbahn & Gelmersee

Day 5:  Today we finally went to a place I have longed to visit for quite some time. The amazing Gelmerbahn ride is an attraction on its own. Europe’s steepest open funicular, definitely nothing for the faint-hearted.

And at the top, you will be greeted by the most unique and beautiful mountain scenery. Nestled within the mountains, the alpine lake, the Gelmersee invites you to hike around, have a picnic and for the brave ones, maybe even a swim.

You can find all about this place on our blog “Gelmerbahn & Gelmersee Hike”

IMPORTANT: You MUST pre-book your ticket to ride the Gelmerbahn.

Alternatives whilst in this area would also be a visit to the Aarenschlucht.

Grimsel Pass

You are now so close to the Grimsel Pass, that I suggest you might as well drive up there and check this place out. On the other side is the Canton Valais and you can see over to the Furka Pass which will be the pass which you will use to return if you start this epic summer road trip through Switzerland in Valais.

Just before the Pass, you will find the “Historisches Alpinhotel Grimsel Hospiz” A picturesque hotel, kind of hidden within a bleak and rocky landscape. There is also one of the most beautiful hikes in Switzerland in this area, The Oberaarlake & Glacier Hike.

Travel tip: You could opt to sleep at the Grimsel Hospiz for two nights, instead of Innterkirchen. This way you can do on the second night the Oberaarlake hike before carry on with your road trip through Switzerland.

Obwalden – Drive over Brünig Pass with several View Points

Day 6 : After we packed our tent together we knew that the next strech along our summer Swiss road trip will be filled with a lot of amazing vistas.

After every corner is another photogenic viewpoint. Therefore, a simple 5km road could easily take you hours. This is because you are travelling through one of the most beautiful countries and with that in mind, you should stop wherever you like and get the most out of this summer road trip through Switzerland. The main thing as always, do not stress.

We are now leaving Berneroberland, and our road takes us into Central Switzerland.

As you are driving over the Brünig Pass just at the other side where you are starting to descend there is a nice roadside viewpoint on the left side, overlooking Lake Lungern. Furthermore, you can also stop along the lake in many places. And as always, a perfect place to have a picnic lunch.

Niedwalden – Stanserhorn Panorama Hike

If you, like we, LOVE amazing views then you will enjoy this next stop. Head up to the Stanserhorn and be prepared for some of the finest Swiss views there are. But before you marvel at the epic views, enjoy the ride up, as it is an adventure in itself.

Take a seat in the Oldtimer Funicular Train, first operated in 1893 which ascends slowly through flower meadows towards the CabriO, the World’s first roofless cable car. It feels a bit like a journey through a time zone. 🙂

If you are lucky and there are not too many people, try to get a place at the top of the CabriO. The kids loved it and the fact that there was no roof was quite crazy in the kid’s eyes.

A beautiful short circular hike will reveal the beauty of this amazing place and its surroundings.

Travel tip: This would be a great place to overnight. Anywhere Hotel between Stand and Stoos where your next stop will be.

Read more about  the Stanserhorn hike in detail on our blog.

Schwyz – Stoos – Overnight at Fronalpstock with Ridge Hike from Klingenstoss

Day 7: Wherever you stayed the night before, you need half a day to complete the ridge hike from Klingenstoos to Fronalpstock with kids.

We parked around lunchtime at the large car park directly at the Stoos Funicular, which by the way is the steepest funicular in the world. At the top, you need to walk to the chairlift which brings you to the summit of Klingenstoss for the start of the hike.

At first, I was a bit nervous to bring the kids as I have seen some photos with drop-offs on both sides of the path.

Luckily our kids are well-trained young mountaineers and listen to our commands if necessary. There are some areas where a hand is definitely needed, but all in all, it was in our opinion a safe hike to do with kids who have some hiking experience .

Most certainly it is the most stunning ridge hike we have completed so far. Simply amazing.

Don’t be fooled either by thinking it is a straight easy hike. There are several ups and downs and when we finally reached the Fronalpstock at 6 o’clock we were quite tired and happy to be finally here.

The tiredness was temporary for the kids. As soon as they saw the most amazing playground on top of the mountain overlooking Lake Lucerne, they went for it. Luckily for us, we found a bench and a cold beer.

We booked the night at the Fronalpstock Gipfel-Hotel and you can do the same. What an amazing experience it was and we observed a most beautiful sunset where colours changed from yellow to dark red.

It was a very remarkable family experience and even today we still talk about this place the most from our summer road trip through Switzerland.

St.Gallen/ Alpstein – Overnight Staubern

Day 8: We skipped quite a bit from Schwyz to Fümsen, but this next place is special to us. We discovered The Alpstein last year and knew we would want to return.

And so, we did. This time we entered the Alpstein from the St.Gallen side which allowed us to visit our family on the way and reduce the journey a little.

Book a room at the Berggasthaus Staubern which is situated on a ridge and provides the entry to the Alpstein.

You need to leave your car at Frümsen at the car park of the cable car which brings you up to the Staubern. Enjoy a sunset with a view over Lichtenstein, Austria and well beyond. If you ask what the other mountain is with the tower on the top, this is the Hoher Kasten.

St.Gallen/ Alpstein – Saxer Lücke Hike

Day 9: The next morning, we hiked to the Saxer Lücke from where you have an amazing feel of the whole Alpstein area. Later during the summer Dave and I hiked 3 days within the Alpstein without the kids. An activity you should put on your bucket list if you love sleeping under the stars and amazing hiking trails.

The Saxer Lücke hike is not strenuous and doable with kids. But keep in mind, it is of course a white-red-white alpine path and there are some sections at the beginning where care is needed, but all in all an easy hike, 2-3 h round trip.

Appenzell – Ebenalp & Äescher Wildkirchli

And if you loved the Alpstein as much as we did, then let’s continue our summer road trip through Switzerland and head over to the other side of the Alpstein. From Frümsen drive to Wasserauen in Appenzell and take the cable car up to the Ebenalp where we suggest you stay the night.

Travel tip: If you decided to hike further than just to Saxer Lücke we suggest you stay one more night at the Staubern.

Day 10: You are now opposite of where you slept the day before. If you still have time and it is not dark yet, walk down to the Äescher and Wildkirchli.

The advantage of sleeping up the mountain is so you can beat the day tourists. Late afternoon when they are all making their way down, the summit becomes a relaxing and quiet place again. It is during these times where we enjoy it the most. Therefore, make the most out of it.

Read our article Visit the Äscher – Ebenalp via Wildkirchli.

The beautiful Ebenalp and its Wildkirchli & Äscher.

Appenzell – Alpstein – Overnight at Seealpsee

Day 11: The next morning after a hopefully quiet and relaxing night, enjoy your alpine breakfast and a bit more of this most amazing view up at the Ebenalp.

We’re staying in the Alpstein for our next visit which will be the Seealpsee.

I have to admit we did not walk down from the Ebenalp but walked up from the Wasserauen car park. But you could hike straight from the Ebenalp down to the lake.

If you decide to take the cable car down and then hike from the car park you need to count about 1.5 h and overcome a very steep road. It is not long but super steep. Just take your time, stop at many places and walk in the rhythm of the kids.

Once at the famous Seealpsee you will soon forget the steep hill you have just hiked up.

The place is stunningly beautiful but it also gets quite busy. We were here during mid-season and it was perfect. And if you sleep at the hotel you will again have the place nearly to yourself once all the day tourists have left.

If both Hotels at Seealpsee are fully booking check out Hotel Alpenblick or brows the Hotel Page around Wasserauen.

Glarus – Overnight Klöntalersee

Day 12: Slowly we need to think about our way back into the Valais and it probably cannot get any further in distance than from the Alpstein.

But it was so worth it, making the extra route on our summer road trip through Switzerland to include Appenzell.

Today we’re heading direction Glarus where the beautiful Klöntalersee lies. I have been here when I was a little girl with my dad on a fishing trip and never came back.

Not quite sure why as this is such an amazingly beautiful place. We camped at Camping Güntlenau right at the lake. Find a hotel on Booking.com

I wish we would have had one extra day to just relax and cycle along the lake shore. But we had to make our way back home and there was still a place I had in mind to visit.

Beautiful Klöntaler Valley and lake in Glarus

Glarus – Elm the Ämpächli with Riesenwald Theme

Day 13: I made sure we had some time to visit the Ämpächli Kids Paradise and the “Riesenwald” (giant forest) Theme walk in Elm.

This is a place where you should not rush the kids, like we did due to the rain. But our summer road trip through Switzerland had to end one day and we only had the day to enjoy this most amazing family place.

We would definitely suggest you spend an extra night at this place in Elm especially when travelling with kids.

Here is all you need to know about the Ämpächli Kids Paradise and the “Riesenwald”.

Safe and great trampolines visible from the Restaurant at the Ämpächli

The Drive Home  via Glarus Uri – Klausen Pass – Furka – Oberwallis

We had a 5 hours’ drive back home from Elm. Knowing what beauty is still to come we knew it would make a very long drive.

But luckily the kids are very good travellers and with all the stops time would pass quickly. And so it did.

Before we started to hit the interesting road up the Klausen Pass we already had our 1st stop. I was finally able to visit and shoot the Berglistüber Waterfall.

We have seen this place so many times on Instagram and every time loved it more.

Not far from the former Bergli Restaurant (parking spaces available) you can already hear the roar of the Berglistüber. The walk is only about 5 min from the car park and therefore an absolute must stop.

Next Stop Klausen Pass

The Klausen Pass Route is a journey to the roots of our beautiful country connecting the Cantons of Glarus and Canton Uri.

view over a mountain pass road
Klausen Pass Road. Road trip through Switzerland

This is an extraordinary region and for sure there are plenty of stops on the way.

The weather was turning for the worse and the spectacular lightning has forced us to carry on and drive down the quite narrow mountain pass road before the storm hit. Though I still managed to get a nice shot back over the saddle of the pass.

 

Uri – Teufelsbrücke

I love a bit of Swiss history and hence this scenic section on our way home to Valais.  The rugged Schöllenen Gorge in Uri has books full of stories, as it was an extremely difficult and dangerous barrier for travellers to overcome in the 13th century before the 1st bridge was built.

An ancient legend tells us that the DEVIL built the first bridge over the Reuss, hence the name Teufelsbrücke.

The rugged Schöllenen Gorge & the Teufelsbrücke in Uri

Valais – Furkapass

And as we love our mountain roads, we’re hitting another pass. This time the Furka Pass which means once on the other side we will be home in the Canton of Valais.

Although there are plenty more epic road side stops before actually parking the car in front of our chalet and wrapping up this awesome summer road trip through Switzerland.

Stop at the summit of the Furka Pass and look down into the Valais.

Of course, we had to add another “Grand Tour of Switzerland” photo post to the collection. In the back you can see the Grimsel Pass Road, and if you made the detour after the Hike at the Gelmersee to visit the Grimsel Pass summit, then this is where you were standing.

Valais – Furka Pass Road – Hotel Belvedere

You must have seen this place on Instagram, right? The famous Hotel Belvedere, unfortunately no longer welcoming guests.

This hotel was also in the James Bond 007 Movie Goldfinger. Therefore, definitely a worthwhile stop to capture this scene in your camera.

Valais – Furka Pass Road – Rhone Glacier

And as you have parked your car already to get the perfect click from the hotel, there is more. Behind the souvenir shop at the car park lies an amazing glacier. Yes, it is true.

You have to get a ticket from the souvenir shop but it is well worth it. You can even walk inside the glacier tunnel.

Valais – Anglican Chapel in Gletsch

At the bottom of the Furka Pass road is a hidden gem, and it would be a shame not to stop and visit this beautiful Anglican Chapel. It is right at the parking lot by the restaurant.

The road in the background is the Grimsel Pass road .

Valais – Goms Bridge –  Bellwald

Wow, we finally made it down the Furka -Pass road and are heading along the Oberwallis Valley direction home.

If you do still feel for one more stop and love suspension bridges then don’t miss this last stop. The parking is right by the road and you can easily reach the 280m long Goms bridge which connects Bellwald and Ernen hiking area.

Final Thoughts on our Summer Road Trip Through Switzerland

We absolutely loved it. The kids as much as we did. We all have great memories from the beautiful camping place in Klöntalersee. But we all agree that the overnights in both mountain huts were amazing!

Well, the Berggasthause Fronalpstock is not really a hut more a hotel/restaurant, but just being up the mountain, able to watch the sunset outside amongst the cows and being nearly alone was definitely a highlight.

We’re lucky as most of the time our kids are good travellers and a road trip is easily manageable.

I remember when we travelled through western Canada for 6 weeks, they were amazing nomads. Not to forget the Italian Tuscany trip when they were just 2 years of age.

For our next summer road trip from through Switzerland, I would love to add more destinations and stay longer.

  1. So, so beautiful! My husband and I are coming this summer, and we’re not up to all the beautiful hikes. We will, however, take strolls, maybe some easy bike rides, and cable cars and funiculars. Your guide is really the best one I’ve seen. We’re going to try to do as many of your recommendations as we can!
