This Simple Trick Will Ensure A Perfect Day On Any Swiss Mountain (Avoid Wasting Money)

A big part of any trip to Switzerland is heading up a mountain for epic views!

Whether it is a once-in-a-lifetime trip up the Jungfraujoch or a superb Golden Round Trip to the top of Pilatus, you want to be sure it will be memorable.

Rainy days and high-level fog are all too common in the Alps, and they can mean a horrible experience on Swiss any mountain.

So, avoid any fickle Alpine weather with this simple trick…

Check The Webcams First

If you have the luxury of time, you can wait until the day of your trip to book.

And instead of just heading up the mountain, check the webcam first.

All big mountains have webcams on the top which show you what things are like LIVE!

Here are some of the most popular mountains you can check:

Around Interlaken/Jungfraujoch

• Jungfraujoch
• Grindelwald First
• Männlichen
• Schynige Platte
• Interlaken

Around Lucerne

• Lucerne
• Pilatus (Kulm – Top)
• Rigi Kulm (Top)
• Burgenstock – Hammetschwand
• Stoos – Fronalpstock etc

Around Zermatt

• Zermatt
• Matterhorn Glacier Paradise
• Gornergrat
• Rothorn

Or, Check The Weather A Day Or Two Ahead

If time is not on your side, then check the weather a few days or even a day ahead before deciding whether you should go up the Jungfraujoch or Pilatus. It costs a lot or money and you don’t want to throw it out the window!

The best websites and apps to use are:

• Suisse Meteo
• SRF Meteo (German only – but you can understand it just from the images :>)
