Canadians particularly appreciate the safety, the central location in Europe, and the opportunity to experience Switzerland as part of a European tour. “While the most successful months continue to be the summer months from June to September, accounting for 49.2% of the overnight stays, September became the strongest travel month for the first time’, says Oliver Weibel, Director Canada, Switzerland Tourism. The consistently pleasant autumn temperatures, improved hotel availability, and tourist attractions make autumn an attractive travel season. Winter tourism is also experiencing growth, driven by the popularity of destinations such as Zermatt and St. Moritz.
