High Season
July, August and December to April mark the arrival of a large horde of tourists, in the first two months it is frequent to see cyclists and mountaineers in mountainous areas, while in winter, winter sports competitions are common and it is clearly the high season for ski resorts.
Shoulder Season
From April to June including September the flow of tourists is lower, in April we can still find remains of tourists looking for action in the ski mountains, but spring comes out with warmer temperatures and fields full of flowers, on the other hand, in September Autumn arrives and it is time for the grape harvest and the change of season.
Low Season
From October to March is the season with the lowest flow of visitors, but that doesn’t mean that it becomes an unworthy place to visit. Mountain tourism seems to stop from October to December as many local shops and restaurants that open for a few hours, however, prices decrease at least 50% compare to the high season and the climate is calm and fresh.
Your trip to Switzerland

Your travel to Switzerland has about 0% the climate impact as your entire yearly budget of CO₂ emissions. This "yearly climate-compatible budget" sets the limit of emissions any person should produce in order to keep global warming to below 2C at about 2 tons of CO2. It includes anything from heating to stay warm and cosy in winter, your daily hot showers, the annoying commute to work, any traveling you do, the production of your yummy food and products you buy – and much more you emit by living your life.

If you still feel the need to fly, compensate your emissions.
