The Swiss Alps work in both seasons: hiking, lakes and wildflowers in summer, snow and spa days in winter. Trains reach most resort towns, so you can skip the car.
Which Swiss Alps resort is best for a wellness trip?
Quick answer
It depends on the season and how remote you want to feel. Crans-Montana is a sunny plateau above the Rhône Valley. Andermatt is a mountain village in the center of the country with huge trail networks. Bürgenstock sits on a ridge above Lake Lucerne, close to the city.

Is summer or winter better for the Swiss Alps?
It depends on what moves you. Summer (roughly June to September) is for hiking, lake swims and mountain huts; many high trails clear of snow by July. Winter (December to March) is for skiing, snowshoeing and long spa afternoons. Shoulder seasons are quieter, but some lifts and hotels close.

Can you do a Swiss Alps trip by train?
Yes. The Swiss rail network reaches Crans-Montana (via Sierre and a funicular), Andermatt (on the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn and Glacier Express route) and Lucerne. Allie can suggest a route that strings two resorts together.
