What September feels like in Switzerland 🇨🇭

September sits right between summer and autumn.

The month can start with warm days and proper hiking weather, while later on the air gets cooler and the first signs of autumn show up. The main summer holiday rush is over, but there’s still plenty happening across the country, from Alpabzug celebrations to harvest festivals.

It’s a month of changing weather, changing colours and some of Switzerland’s best seasonal traditions.

What September weather feels like in Switzerland 🇨🇭

September can give you a bit of everything.

The month often starts with warm, late-summer days, while mornings and evenings already feel cooler. As September goes on, temperatures usually drop and the weather becomes more changeable, especially in the mountains.

Pack for sunshine, cooler days and the occasional rainy one. In Switzerland, September likes to keep its options open.

What September feels like in Switzerland: after the summer crowds

By September, the busiest summer weeks are over.

Popular places are still lively, but the big holiday rush has eased. Trains, mountain towns and hiking areas generally feel less packed, especially outside weekends and major attractions.

You still get plenty of late-summer conditions, just with a different pace.

September is when hiking in Switzerland gets really good.

The trails are still open, the summer crowds start thinning out and the temperatures are usually much better for longer days in the mountains.

Early in the month can still feel like summer. By the end, the first signs of autumn start showing up.

If hiking is the reason you’re coming to Switzerland, September is hard to beat.

What September feels like in Switzerland: two seasons in one month 🇨🇭

The beginning of September can still feel like summer, with warm days and plenty of time outdoors.

By the end of the month, autumn starts to take over. Alpabzug celebrations bring the cows down from the Alps, while harvest festivals mark the start of a new season with local food, w**e and village traditions.

September gives you a bit of both.

What’s happening in Switzerland this September? 🇨🇭

September is a big month for traditional events across Switzerland. Alpabzug celebrations mark the return of cattle from the alpine pastures, often with decorated cows, bells, music and village festivities.

It’s also harvest season, with festivals celebrating local produce, food, w**e and regional traditions.

If you’re visiting in September, these are some of the best events to look out for.

Did you know Zurich Airport has a visitor terrace?

At Dock B, you can head outside and watch the planes and airport traffic from close by. Entry is free with a valid boarding pass, or CHF 5 if you’re visiting without one.

There’s another visitor terrace at Dock E too.

A nice thing to check out if you have some time before your flight, or if you’re visiting the airport just to watch the planes.
