Where should you go in Switzerland in april when it comes to the weather?
Remember:
The climate in Switzerland in april ranges from tolerable to very bad depending on the region and city.
That month is not the best month to go to in Switzerland. The weather in Lucerne, Zurich, Lugano, Fribourg, Lausanne, Bern, Basel and Geneva is quite correct. The sun is not there all the time and you risk you to be soaked by rain regularly. However, if you don't plan a beach and relaxation trip but rather visiting museums or hiking, this climate could be appropriate. In addition, there are definitely fewer tourists this month.
But it gets worse: in Montreux, Sion, Interlaken, Zermatt and Davos and surrounding areas where the climate is very bad. It is really not advisable to visit these areas in april.
