The spectacular natural beauty of Switzerland has no match on this globe. If you have never been to this remarkable country, you have been missing so much. You can explore the scenic beauty of this fantastic land by driving all around. So plan your next road trip to Switzerland right now. Switzerland is a dream destination and a  three-week itinerary will allow you the right amount of time to glimpse the outstanding landscape, enjoy phenomenal expeditions, and seek its classy and sophisticated towns all while having sufficient time to calm down. You will pass by shores of great lakes and glaciers, mountain passes, fairy-tale medieval castles, and much more on your way. We have brought you some of the best road trips in Switzerland that you should add to your bucket list.

Furka Pass

The first recommendation of a road trip on our list for you is the Furka Pass road trip. It is the best one to explore the glaciers and mountain peaks. It starts from Obergoms and will take you towards Andermatt. This drive-through will leave you surprised. The jaw-dropping Alps view from your rear mirror will take your breath away. Roam around the remote valley of the Goms in Valais and move towards the mountain-encrusted Andermatt in Uri. Stop by to soak in the beauty of austere peaks and glaciers. The road is open roughly from June to October and goes with the snow so be careful.

 

Appenzell and St Moritz

If you want to explore the rural side of Switzerland, this is the perfect road trip for you. It starts from Appenzell and will take you to St Moritz covering an approximate distance of 200 kilometers. Find the loudest rural vibe in the Appenzell region. Then move ahead to the northeast, snuggling up to Liechtenstein. Allocate at least two weeks to deeply explore this fantastic region. The main highlights of this wonderful route are Säntis mountain, Churfirsten range peaks, Werdenberg, Liechtenstein, and the castle-topped capital, Vaduz. Stop by the villages like Guarda and Zernez on your way.

Kandersteg to Zermatt

Plan your next trip from Kandersteg to Zermatt. Keep one thing in mind that Zermatt is a car-free zone so you can only drive to Tasch. After that, you have to take the train from here till Zermatt. So the first 1.5 hours of your road trip from Kandersteg to Tasch is where you can explore so much on your way. Undoubtedly, it is one of the best alpine road trips in Switzerland. Take breaks, and stop by the pit stops to enjoy the most of this trip. This trip is gonna take you to another world. Some of the worth visiting attractions here are Matterhorn Glacier Paradise and Matterhorn Museum. You will know for yourself why Switzerland is one of the best countries to be explored via four wheels.

Gotthard Pass

If you are in search of a road trip that will take you to some of the best gorges and canyons, then this road trip is for you. It starts from Andermatt and will take you to Airolo covering an approximate distance of 26.5 kilometers. The other way to reach there is by taking the world’s longest tunnel, St-Gotthard Massif, but you will miss a lot of fun this way. Witness the spectacular panoramic view of wild, isolated, and bleakly glorious mountain scenic views. You will find many worth-seeing spots on your route, stop by and take the most of them. Keep one thing in mind: the route is entirely weather-dependent and remains open only from June to October. So plan your road trip accordingly.

Chur to St Moritz

Take a road trip to Julier Pass if you want an off-the-beaten-track. It starts from Chur and will take you to St Moritz. The total distance is approximately 157 kilometers. Witness the scenic aura of the phenomenal, jagged, moraine-streaked Alps of Graubünden. This long and lovely road trip connects the Alpine city of Chur with St Moritz in the heart of Engadine Valley. The main highlights you should not skip at any cost are the Albula Alps and Switzerland’s biggest nature park Parc Ela. The drive-through is open all year round however you need to be extra cautious with snow and ice in the winter season.

Geneva to Neuchâtel

The last road trip on our recommendation list for you is from Geneva to Neuchâtel covering an approximate distance of 190 kilometers. This is quite an off-the-radar region but it has its share of charm and aura. The serenity and panoramic views you will find here are unmatched. Start your trip in Geneva, a historically rich region then head towards the Jura Vaudois Nature Park in the north. Spend your time exploring Lac de Joux and Vallorbe, Lac de Neuchâtel, and Creux du Van as well.
