About

I'm Stefan, a Zurich local and the travel writer behind Summertime in Switzerland. I've spent years exploring Switzerland's mountains, lakes, towns, and hidden corners, and I started this blog to share honest, firsthand guides so you can experience it the way locals do.

Whether it's finding the quietest lake on a summer weekend, picking the right train pass, or knowing which mountain is actually worth the cable car price, I've done the research so you don't have to.

Follow along for insider tips straight from someone who calls Switzerland home.
