Switzerland, a haven of unrivaled beauty.
Nestled in the heart of Europe, this compact little country has a lot to offer. With much of the country covered by the Alps, Switzerland is one of the highest countries in altitude in Europe. The amazing mountains, heaps of lakes and beautiful villages make for the most beautiful scenery in Switzerland. These landscapes are considered to be what makes the country the perfect destination for vacationing and exploring new cultures. And of course, the Swiss cheese and chocolate are two of the most loved things by visitors and locals.
You will be pleasantly surprised when visiting Switzerland in August, as it marks the end of summer and temperatures soar. The landscape is stunningly beautiful, with emerald lakes, clear blue skies, and valleys full of colorful flowers during this time—an ideal setting for a wide range of activities. Summer skiing, hiking, swimming, biking, stand-up paddling and many more thrilling activities will get your blood pumping in Switzerland in August. Although Switzerland has a lot to offer in the colder months, it is definitely worth visiting during summer.
