Switzerland weather essentials. 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 30sÂ°C (90sÂ°F) or even mid 30sÂ°C (mid 90sÂ°F).
Early summer (June) or fall is probably the best time to experience Switzerland, as the weather is comfortable and there arenât as many tourists as there are during the summer (or the winter in the ski regions).
