There’s no denying that Switzerland is a beautiful place. Like, perhaps the most beautiful country in the world. And while the entire country is full of beautiful scenes, the Swiss Alps are arguably the pinnacle of that beauty. Mountains, lakes, chalets – everything in the Swiss Alps is absolutely picture perfect. Therefore, it’s natural to find yourself with hundreds of beautiful photos of the Swiss Alps after a trip there, and to find yourself flipping through them over and over again dreaming of going back.
In fact, we all know that staring at photos of beautiful destinations is one way to bring on the wanderlust. Yet, we torture ourselves by doing it anyway. So here are 25 photos of the Swiss Alps that will leave you in a dreamy state…or influence you to buy a one way ticket there!
The Swiss Alps are beautiful year round,
from Spring & Summer when the grass is bright green…
to the depths of winter when the snow is covering everything…
and even in that awkward in-between stage!
But the snow really does add some extra charm to the Swiss Alps,
making it the perfect destination for ski holidays.
Or for year-round hiking if that’s what you prefer!
And while the mountains are the star of the show, the Swiss Alps offer so much more than snow sports and hiking.
The animals are incredible, for starters.
And there are some pretty great spots to stop for a drink.
The Swiss Alps are even worth a trip just to experience the luxurious hotels!
Not to mention the food is delicious – cheese, chocolate, YUM!
And the alpine villages are so beautiful to walk around.
If you choose to hop on a gondola one day, you’ll get the best views…
…and even the views out your train window will leave you speechless.
At the end of the day, it’s the views that really can’t be beat – whether they are views from the plane or the train; above or below; the lakeside or the mountaintop!
The Swiss Alps are just so dreamy. Please, take us back!
Pin this post for later!
We looooved Switzerland – such a beautiful country! Thanks for including our pics, hope this inspires more people to book a trip to Switzerland in 2017.
Thanks for participating! We are OBSESSED with Switzerland and you’ve definitely inspired us to do the DIY glacier express. We stay in Zermatt when we go so we’re already at the starting point – think we will have to do a night or two exploring St. Moritz just to experience the train ride 🙂
Saw this organically on Pinterest and pinned it and then saw it was you guys! Great post!
Oh that’s so exciting!! Happy you like it – let us know if you’re planning a trip to Switzerland anytime soon
You guys are totally right! The swiss alps definitely has me dreaming!
Switzerland is such a beautiful country in general, but the Swiss Alps definitely have a special place in our heart. We hope you get the chance to turn the dream into reality soon!
I totally agree: nothing can beat the views in Switzerland <3
It’s honestly such a special place. We haven’t even seen that much of it ourselves – need to get out there more often!
Such a dreamy post! I’ve been dying to go to Switzerland!! Love your blog and glad I discovered it! Followed you on most! 🙂
Thanks so much! Happy to hear you like our content 🙂
Ahh I love Switzerland so much; a beautiful country with really friendly people! Thanks so much for including my photo 🙂
Your photo is so beautiful! We need to go find that view for ourselves!
Just got back from Switzerland yesterday and thought it was sooo beautiful! Expensive… but so stunning! Love the pics in this post 🙂
Thanks Chloe! I saw some of your Instagram stories from Zermatt haha – we were just there last weekend!
Those Alps and those views… Nice pictures, the post definitely woke my wanderlust.
Thank you 🙂 We’re definitely feeling the wanderlust, too!
We have been quite a few times in Switzerland (or drove through it) and it has such an amazing beauty. I think it is one of the most beautiful European countries, nature wise. The mountains are stunning, the grass so green (or white when snowing), the food is delicious and the people are great. We will probably visit Switzerland more often in the future!
We agree! The food is to die for – I can never turn down a massive portion of fondue, haha! Hopefully our future travels allow both of us to see more of Switzerland!
these photos are stunning! excuse me while i go purchase my ticket! AMAZING!
We’ve literally spent most of our day trying to figure out when we can go back to Switzerland, haha! Thanks for checking out the post!
Beautiful pictures, especially the one with the sheeps and the squirrel.
This is sheer magic. I loved the blog post.
Ok, on my way to the airport. See ya soon, Switzerland.
I was literally holding my breath in excitement scrolling down each photo. SOOOOO BEAUTIFULLLL VIEWS omg. Must. Go. Back! Great collaboration you have here!
These are some epic and stunning photos! I’d love to return and explore more!! Thanks so much for sharing a few of my photos!
Lovely photos! Definitely had me dreaming 🙂
When I tell people that I want to visit the Swiss Alps in spring they think I’m crazy. Yes snow is good but it isn’t all that the Alps offer. Next time I get that crazy look I’m going to show everyone this post. 🙂
As if I needed another reason to visit Switzerland! Wow, just spectacular.
I looooved Switzerland – such a beautiful country ! And I do not say that it is beautiful country because I’m living there 🙂
Haha it definitely is a beautiful country, bias or not 😉
Awesome photos! I’m visiting Switzerland for the first time this summer and hiking the Haute Route for two weeks…can’t wait!
Thanks 🙂 You’ll absolutely love Switzerland – I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t! The only downside is how expensive everything is, but if you expect that going in it won’t affect your experience in any way.
Oh wow..these pics are absolutely stunning..how lucky you are to live in London to be accessible to all the beauty in Europe, I have never been :/ hope too soon!
Thanks for sharing!
Valerie
It’s honestly so incredible. But how much we travel Europe has made me realize how much I could have been traveling around the US when I was still living there…now I want to go back to the US, haha!
So glad you commented on my blog and thus, found your blog!!! Seems like we have a lot in common 😉 Great photos of Switzerland…seriously, that country is amazingly gorgeous!
Yes! Mainly a love for alcohol… lol – Love your blog!

Love the photos! Another place to add to our bucket list!
We just can’t wait to visit the Swiss Alps again. Such beautiful place <3
I think we could go every month and never get sick of the beauty there!
Great blog my friend 🙂
What a captivating view for each photo. I like so much on the mountain view. I am wanting to experience also.
