7 Days in Switzerland in March: My Complete Itinerary

7 Days in Switzerland in March: My Complete Itinerary

If you’re planning 7 days in Switzerland in March, this itinerary covers some of the country’s most beautiful places — including Zurich, Lucerne, Lauterbrunnen, Mürren, and Jungfraujoch. This one-week Switzerland itinerary balances scenic train travel, mountain views, charming towns, and a few unforgettable experiences along the way. I just got back from a beautiful 7-day trip to Switzerland with my little sister. And man — there was a lot to see and do. Planning the itinerary was tough because there are so many beautiful places in Switzerland. While I only had 7 days, my sister is staying for two weeks, adding on a day trip to Bern, staying in Montreux, and then ending in Lugano with day trips around there. (She said Lugano was a great place to visit as well!) But for this post, I’ll walk through my exact 7-day Switzerland itinerary for early March. 7 Days in Switzerland Itinerary (Quick Overview) Day 1 — Arrive in ZurichDay 2 — Explore Zurich + Lindt Chocolate FactoryDay 3 — Train to Lucerne + Old Town walking tourDay 4 — Mount Pilatus excursionDay 5 — Train to Lauterbrunnen + visit MürrenDay 6 — Jungfraujoch (Top of Europe)Day 7 — Train to Zurich Airport Is March a Good Time to Visit Switzerland? March is actually a great time to visit Switzerland if you want snowy Alpine scenery without the peak summer crowds. Ski season is still going strong in the mountains, while cities like Zurich and Lucerne are quieter and easier to explore. You may not be able to hike many trails yet due to snow, but iconic viewpoints like Mount Pilatus and Jungfraujoch are open year-round. If you’re planning a Switzerland itinerary in March, expect beautiful snowy mountains, fewer tourists, and slightly lower hotel prices compared to summer. Day 1: Travel Day to Zurich Our round-trip flight departed from Boise, Idaho and landed in Zurich. After accidentally getting on the wrong train (oops!), we arrived fairly late in the day and mostly just crashed at our hotel. We did walk over to Coop Supermarket, which quickly became one of our favorite budget food spots, and grabbed some of their prepared food for dinner. Then it was straight to bed after a long travel day. Day 2: Exploring Zurich We slept in a bit and had a busy day planned for our first full day in Zurich. To start the day, we went to Zepter Bar for a milchkaffee (basically a latte), and then popped over to The Bagel Shop, where we shared a smoked salmon and cream cheese everything bagel. Honestly, it ended up being one of our favorite things we ate in Switzerland. After breakfast we joined a Free Walking Tour of Downtown Zurich. If you’re new to free walking tours, they’re fantastic. They aren’t technically free — you tip your guide at the end whatever you think the tour was worth. We were told 20–30 CHF is typical….

We Built A GLAMPING DOME– How we set up a Geodesic Dome Airbnb!

I’ve always had a goal of making $100K a year off of unique short-term rentals.

In 2020 my partner and I bought a 1-acre piece of property for $35,000 in the mountains of Idaho. Thought we would build… Read More
