A checklist makes planning a Switzerland trip easier, especially when combining cities, lakes and mountain destinations.
Before You Leave
- Check passport validity and entry requirements.
- Confirm visa requirements for your nationality.
- Keep digital and printed copies of important documents.
- Book accommodation and popular mountain excursions when advance reservations are useful.
- Arrange suitable travel insurance.
Entry Requirements
Check current Swiss and Schengen entry rules for your nationality and purpose of travel before departure. Requirements can change, so use official government information.
Money and Payments
Switzerland uses the Swiss franc. Some places may accept euros, but travelers should not assume that euro prices or exchange rates will be favorable. Check card fees and carry an appropriate payment option.
Transport
Research trains, buses, boats and mountain transport. Switzerland Tourism provides practical information on tickets and travel passes.
Packing
Pack according to elevation and season. Comfortable walking shoes are essential, while mountain trips may require warm layers, rain protection and sun protection.
Mountain Safety
Check weather and local conditions before hiking. Higher elevations can have very different conditions from cities and valleys.
On Arrival
Save accommodation and transport details offline, keep emergency information accessible and follow local instructions in mountain and nature areas.
