Dave took amazing Switzerland pictures from our grand tour of Switzerland and from previous trips from and Lucerne to Geneva. When I look at this collection of Swiss photos, I am impressed by their variety.
The Best Switzerland Pictures
Switzerland is one of the most beautiful countries on earth to see and photograph. From the cities to the mountains everywhere is postcard-perfect. Enjoy this journey through Switzerland in photos and escape to Switzerland with us today!
Switzerland in PIctures Zermatt – Matterhorn
The Matterhorn is the symbol of Switzerland and no trip to the country would be complete without seeing its striking beauty. This photo was taken at sunrise. Take the Sunnega Valley Train to Stellisee and make sure to book ahead of time for sunrise. (summer months only) For more information on lift tickets visit: Zermatt.ch
You won’t find a more striking view in Switzerland (in our opinion) than Gornergrat. Located at an elevation of 3,089 m, Gornergrat has been one of Switzerland’s top places to visit for more than a century located in the Zermatt Matterhorn Region of Switzerland.

The Cogwheel Railways are historic railways that were built in the early 1900s when exploring the Alps was all the rage. This railway is leading up to our favourite place to photograph in Switzerland, Gornergrat.
This classic view of Zermatt is that postcard photo of Switzerland. It’s just a 15 minute hike from town to get to this famous lookout.
Images of Switzerland – Grindelwald
Bachalpsee (Lake Bachalp) in Grindelwald is one of the most iconic Switzerland images in the Jungfrau Region. This lake can be reached by taking the Firstbahn gondola to Grindelwald First and then doing a 3km hike out to the lake.
Speaking of Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe. When visiting Grindelwald, this is not to be missed. Take the historic cogwheel train up to Jungfraujoch to see one of the most spectacular views in Switzerland. Read more Spectacular Switzerland, a Visit to Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe.

St. Moritz is one of the premier places to visit in Switzerland. This photo was taken from our balcony of the luxurious Hotel Kulm St. Moritz at sunrise. Read more about St. Moritz at Stunning St. Moritz – Summer fun in Switzerland
St. Moritz Surprised us. We had been to Grindelwald, Interlaken, Zermatt, and Leukerbad and didn’t think things could get any better, and then we hiked to the Sunnega Hut in St. Moritz and were blown away by this view.
More Switzerland in Photos – The Cities
To achieve different looks, Dave took his Switzerland Pictures at all different times of the day using a variety of methods from long exposures on a tripod to hand held shots. They are stunning.
The skyline of Zurich at sunset can be very dramatic with the cathedral spires lit up. I love Dave’s images of Switzerland because they are all so varied and different from destination to destination. Read more: Things to do in Zurich
This Switzerland photo really captures the essence of Basel. A swimmer floating in The Rhine as the ferry crosses the river from Grossbasel (Left Side of the River Bank) toward Klein Basel (Right Side of the River Bank). This ferry is a reaction ferry meaning it uses no motor or paddle to cross the river. Read more at 20 Reasons to Fall in Love with Basel, Switzerland
Lucerne may be known for the Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) spanning the River Reuss, but it is this night time photo that I love. We went for a walk and found these lights twinkling in the water.
Lugano is a city in the Ticinco region of Switzerland. It feels like a little slice of the Italian riviera when visiting Ticino and offers completely different opportunities for unique Switzerland pics.
It’s hard to imagine that this is a Switzerland photo. It looks more like Italy or Spain, but this town of Ascona is colourful and beautiful. Located on

The cows of Grindelwald make for a beautiful Switzerland picture. These cows were spotted on the Eiger Trail of the Jungfrau Region. Take this hike down after visiting Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe.
There’s the use of a shallow depth of field when walking through a Swiss vineyard, a long exposure night shot of Interlaken, and a good old-fashioned picture where no post-processing is used at all.
I love these Switzerland Pictures and they truly are the best of the best.
