Whether it is the Alpine peaks and the hilly terrain of Jura or the unrivalled Swiss watch-making supremacy or the gastronomic allure of the area, Geneva is beautiful no matter what time of the year you visit. It boasts great climate year-round, which makes it the perfect getaway location in summer as well as winter. Nevertheless, if you want to visit when you can enjoy the best temperatures and plenty of activities, you should book your flights for March, July and August, or December. March features the Geneva International Motor Show, while December brings the Fete de l’Escalade. If skiing holds your interest, you can enjoy the Alpine slopes from December – April. Avoid the months of September – October if you do not like the rain.
