Imagine spending a beautiful hot day by the lake, enjoying a delicious picnic while the kids splash around in the sparkling water, all set against a majestic mountain backdrop. Anyone who thinks summer swimming is all about the sound of waves on a beach doesn't know Switzerland.
Brimming with swimming options
Switzerland has more than 1,500 lakes, with outstanding water quality almost everywhere. Each lake is unique in depth, and therefore also color and temperature. Some are tucked away amid incredible scenery, while others are close to towns and cities.
Switzerland's many rivers – clean, wild, and passing through breathtaking landscapes – are also some of the most attractive places to swim in Europe. They are not just a great way to cool off, but also offer adventure, pockets of peace, and a taste of the Swiss way of life.
Cool off close by
Switzerland's bathing options are as varied as the country itself, from glittering mountain lakes to untouched rivers, hidden bays, and child-friendly shorelines. If you're looking to combine nature, relaxation, and an experience to remember, you're in the right place.
Whether a sandy beach on Lake Geneva, grassy sunbathing spots along Lake Walen, or magical riverbends in the Ticino, Switzerland is full of surprises. Best of all, many of BnB Switzerland's inviting places to stay are only a few steps from the water, or even have their own garden pool.
