February in Switzerland? Snow, Winter and Culture [Travel Guide]

This FEBRUARY Travel Guide Video will tell you ALL WHAT you NEED to KNOW! February marks the peak of Winter in Switzerland. It’s a great month to travel; in many aspects one of the best times of the year to visit Switzerland! During February, the chances to see snow are very high, certainly up in the Swiss Alps! The mountains and slopes are going to be covered with loads of snow. Even down in the Swiss plains, there are chances to experience snowfall. Enjoy these days as they will not last for very long. The weather is rather dry, it’s very often going to be sunny with a clear blue sky. The views during February are fantastic, especially up in the Swiss Alps. When visiting Zermatt, you will get a high chance to get a clear view over the Matterhorn, something that is not always guaranteed. In general, February is the month to enjoy the panoramas up on the alpine villages of the summits. February marks also a peak season for travellers who visit Switzerland. This mainly affects the Swiss Alps due to the Winter season. Many people from abroad come for their skiing holidays, but the majority will still be locals. February has often the best conditions for skiers but also for sledding! The hotels are often going to be fully booked, thus book months in advance and also be prepared for increased prices. February is rather expensive up in the Swiss Alps but not down in the plains. During February you may also enjoy plenty of seasonal Winter dishes such as crêpe, Raclette, Fondue Chinoise and cheese fondue; the latter being the Swiss national dish. Definitely, February is a great month for foodie travelers! For those who love culture: February is one of the most cultural months of the year! It’s carnival everywhere, each location having their own unique form. Tschäggättä in the mystical Lötschental is one of the most ancient forms of carnival still being very much celebrated or then the largest carnivals of Luzern and Basel marking other cultural highlights in Switzerland. February is also a great month for sunsets, make sure to stay up in the snowy Swiss Alps to enjoy a very colorful environment. Almost all passroads will be closed, you may have to take the car train tunnels that cost but at least will save you some time. Beware they get very busy during the weekends, especially on Sunday evening! All in all, February is a great month to visit Switzerland, surely going to give you many unforgettable memories!
