Question

Is early May good time to visit switzerland?

Answer 1

May is a good time to visit Switzerland but not if you want ski there. Be careful so the weather is not always nice. Have some warm clothes with you

Answer 2

Early May it might be a good time to visit CH, but it might be rainy and cold as well. It depends on your luck! If you can wait until begining of June, they will hold (together with Austria) the European Championship and that may be fun if you like soccer and beer. The weather is suppose to be better as well in June, but in Switzerland you never know.... it's quite umpredictable. Have fun!

Answer 3

May is usually a good time but I hear from my relatives there that it's been very rainy in the past weeks. That may clear up before May but you probably should keep that in mind.

Answer 4

Switzerland definitely experiences seasons -- winter can bring a fair amount of snow while summer can be sunny and sultry but the weather is rarely extreme. Temperaures in summer can climb to the 30s°C (90s°F) or even mid 30s°C (mid 90s°F). The Italian region, which includes popular destinations like Locarno, Lugano, and Bellinzona, can be more mediterranean (as evidenced by the palm trees and colorful birds that you'll see). The French region is a bit more temperate while the areas in the north tend to be about 10 degrees Fahrenheit cooler in general. Early summer (June) or fall is probably the best time to experience Switzerland, as the weather is comfortable and there aren’t as many tourists as there are during the summer (or the winter in the ski regions). September can be quite rainy, but October offers sunny weather with temperatures on their 20s°C (70s°F), which is perfect for hiking in the Alps even in high altitude.

Depending on when and where you go, the weather in Switzerland can vary greatly due to drastic altitude differences. High in the Swiss mountains, the weather tends to be much cooler than expected so bring a warm jacket, extra layers, and pants even in the summer if you plan on visiting any of the major mountains. Some areas, like Les Diablerets and Zermatt, are cold enough that they are open for skiing even in the summer (though skiing Zermatt is certainly not recommended for newbies).

Answer 5

At the moment, Switzerland is somewhat stuck under a cloud of rain and has been for several weeks.

So it all depends if it moves off in the next couple of weeks.

Potentially the weather could be quite pleasant.

Answer 6

Any time is a good time to visit though it is Very expensive in that country, the scenary is good it all depends on what your looking for from the visit, a Mac donalds is way pricey  ouch!!!

Answer 7

I went in October and it was a total surprise, very beautiful, I think it would be great anytime of the year

Answer 8

yes it is really good time due to compatible weather

Answer 9

It's a great time to go.  The weather is generally good, and

there's a lot to do.  If you want to get a Swiss railway pass

(like Eurail pass, but only good in Switz, and Eurail pass is

no good there.), you have to get it BEFORE you arrive there.
