Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Northwestern Switzerland
Northwestern Switzerland — a region worth exploring
Nordwestschweiz sits at the meeting point of three countries — Switzerland, France, and Germany — making it one of the few regions in Europe where you can cross three national borders in a single afternoon by campervan. The area stretches from the Rhine river city of Basel, home to over 40 museums including the Fondation Beyeler, southward through the rolling hills of the Jura mountains to the baroque cathedral town of Solothurn, often called the most beautiful baroque city in Switzerland. From Basel to Solothurn is roughly 70 km, while the drive from Aarau to Laufenburg along the Rhine covers around 55 km of scenic riverside roads. Nordwestschweiz rewards slow travel: the Tafeljura plateau offers wide, campervan-friendly roads through open pastures, and the Hauenstein Pass connects the lowlands to the Jura ridges with well-maintained routes suitable for motorhomes of all sizes. Beyond the cities, you will find the Roman ruins at Augusta Raurica, one of the best-preserved ancient sites north of the Alps, and the Oensingen Castle perched above the Jura foothills. Nordwestschweiz is well suited to peer-to-peer travel with Yescapa, where local owners across the region offer a wide choice of campervans and motorhomes for hire. Whether you are planning a weekend loop or a longer tour through the Swiss Jura, picking up a vehicle from a nearby owner makes exploring Nordwestschweiz easy and personal.
Best time to visit
The best time to hire a campervan in Nordwestschweiz runs from May to October, when campsite facilities are fully open and the Jura trails are at their finest. Basel hosts its famous Herbstmesse, Switzerland's oldest and largest funfair, for two weeks each late October — a brilliant reason to extend the season. Summer brings the Basel Tattoo military music festival in July, drawing crowds from across Europe. Booking through Yescapa during shoulder months like May or September often means better peer-to-peer rates and quieter roads through the Nordwestschweiz countryside. Plan ahead for July and August, the most popular months for motorhome travel in the region.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Northwestern Switzerland
Switzerland requires a motorway vignette (CHF 40 per year) for all vehicles using national motorways, including motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes. Heavier vehicles pay distance-based charges via an on-board unit. On Nordwestschweiz motorways such as the A2 and A3, the speed limit for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes is 80 km/h, while lighter campervans may travel at 120 km/h.

Daniel was very professional, explained all aspects of how the van and its accessories and furnishings functioned. Provided sheets, blankets, curtains and window coverings, and even coffee and tea! He was kind and helped me fill the tank at the end when my credit card didn’t work took us to a different station without complaining. We had no issues with the van but he was available by phone at any time if we would have needed him. It was a fantastic trip and we loved the camper van.

We booked the van for our time on Crete and had a really beautiful trip :) We explored the south of the island and loved every moment of it. The van was easy to drive, comfy and homey, and everything was just as pictured. Beforehand we received videos that explained and showed us everything, so we felt well prepared from the start. Everything fit and worked perfectly. Meven was always helpful, friendly and caring in his communication. Thank you so much for the experience, it was a truly magical time :)

Christophe was great to deal with. He responded promptly to all of our queries prior to our journey. The vehicle was exactly as advertised, well-equipped and spotlessly clean. Collection and drop-off was easy. The hand-over of the vehicle was comprehensive and we felt confident as we began our journey. We highly recommend!
