Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Switzerland
Switzerland — a country worth exploring
Switzerland's Gotthard Pass, first crossed by mule trains in the 13th century, remains one of Europe's most iconic alpine crossings and a must-drive route for any road trip enthusiast. From the shores of Lake Geneva to the peaks of the Bernese Oberland, this compact country packs an extraordinary variety of landscapes into a relatively small area. Zurich to Lugano is roughly 210 km, yet the journey takes you from German-speaking urban culture through the dramatic Gotthard tunnel and into the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino. Meanwhile, Bern to Interlaken covers just 56 km but delivers views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau — three of the most recognisable summits in the Alps. Switzerland's well-maintained roads wind through flower-filled valleys, past glacial lakes like Lake Lucerne and Lake Thun, and over high-altitude passes such as the Furka and Susten. The country's network of clearly signposted scenic routes makes it ideal for exploring by campervan or motorhome, with plenty of designated overnight parking areas along the way. Through Yescapa, you can hire directly from local owners based across Switzerland, choosing from a wide range of vehicles — from compact campervans perfect for mountain passes to larger motorhomes suited to lakeside touring. This peer-to-peer approach means more choice, competitive pricing, and personal tips from people who know Swiss roads best.
Best time to visit
Switzerland welcomes travellers from late spring through to autumn, with June to September offering the longest days and open alpine passes. The Montreux Jazz Festival in July draws music lovers to the shores of Lake Geneva, while the Fête des Vignerons in Vevey celebrates the country's winemaking heritage. Most mountain passes, including the Furka and Susten, are open from June to October, making this the prime window for high-altitude touring by campervan. Shoulder months like May and early October bring quieter roads and lower prices through Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform, ideal for those who prefer a more relaxed pace. Book ahead for July and August to secure the best choice of motorhomes across Switzerland.
The best road trips in Switzerland
To help you plan your trip, we have selected six unmissable road trips, suitable for all travelers.
Three Lakes Loop
180 km 3–6 days
This compact route through Switzerland links Lake Neuchâtel, Lake Murten and Lake Biel across roughly 180 km. Start in Neuchâtel, drive through medieval Murten to Biel and explore St Peter's Island. Perfect for a campervan — the lakeside roads are narrow and campsites sit right on the waterfront.
Appenzell Hills
220 km 3–6 days
Around 220 km take you through the Appenzell region and Lake Constance area in eastern Switzerland. Visit the Säntis summit, stroll past the painted facades of Appenzell village and enjoy the Lake Constance panorama at Rorschach. The gentle hills and wide valleys suit a motorhome just as well. Cheese dairies along the way invite tastings.
Lake Geneva & Valais Grand Tour
350 km 5–8 days
Across roughly 350 km you explore Lake Geneva and the Valais in western Switzerland. Start in Geneva, drive through Montreux and the Lavaux terraces to Sion, then continue to Zermatt at the foot of the Matterhorn. Thermal baths in Leukerbad offer a welcome break. The route mixes wide lakeside roads with narrower Alpine valleys — a campervan is especially nimble here.
Bernese Oberland & Central Switzerland
400 km 5–8 days
Around 400 km connect the Bernese Oberland with Central Switzerland on this route. Drive from Thun through Interlaken into the Lauterbrunnen Valley, cross the Brünig Pass to Lucerne and follow Lake Lucerne to Altdorf. The Giessbach Falls and the Aare Gorge lie right along the way. Lakeside campsites offer pitches for both campervans and motorhomes.
Alpine Pass Odyssey
550 km 7–11 days
Across roughly 550 km you cross some of Switzerland's most famous passes. Start in Andermatt, drive over the Furka Pass and Grimsel Pass into the Bernese Oberland, continue via the Susten Pass back to Andermatt, then head over the Gotthard Pass into Ticino to Bellinzona. The route is open from June to October. Panoramic roads with hairpin bends demand attention but reward with views of glaciers and high Alps.
Grand Swiss Circuit
700 km 10–15 days
This comprehensive route through Switzerland stretches across roughly 700 km and connects every part of the country. Start in Zurich, drive via St Gallen and Chur into the Engadin, cross the Julier Pass to Lugano, continue through the Valais to Geneva and return via Bern to Zurich. You pass through four language regions, visit the Rhine Falls near Schaffhausen and experience the contrast between Mediterranean Ticino and Alpine Graubünden. Campsites along the entire route offer solid facilities.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Switzerland
Switzerland does not have traditional toll booths on its motorways. Instead, all vehicles using the motorway network (marked with green signs) must display a valid vignette, which costs CHF 40 per year and is available at border crossings, petrol stations, and post offices. For motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes, the heavy vehicle charge (LSVA) applies and is calculated based on distance, weight, and emissions. Speed limits on motorways are 120 km/h for vehicles under 3.5 tonnes and 100 km/h for those above. On open roads outside built-up areas, the limit is 80 km/h. Rest areas with facilities are well spaced along major routes like the A1 (Geneva–Zurich) and A2 (Basel–Chiasso). Mountain tunnels such as the Gotthard require headlights on at all times.
Frequently asked questions
Prices for a campervan in Switzerland start at around CHF 80–100 per day in the low season and rise to roughly CHF 120–180 during summer. Larger motorhomes range from CHF 130 to 220 per day depending on specification. Through Yescapa you hire directly from private owners, which is often more affordable than commercial operators. Booking early secures the best choice, especially for July and August.
Through Yescapa you can find vehicles in numerous cities and regions across Switzerland. Popular pick-up points include Zurich, Bern and Geneva, but smaller locations such as Lucerne, Basel or Lausanne also have vehicles available. Because you hire directly from private owners, pick-up points often exist outside major centres — handy if your route starts in the Valais or the Engadin, for example.
Flexibility with travel dates is the best lever: in the shoulder season (May, June, September, October) prices in Switzerland drop noticeably. On Yescapa you can compare offers from different private owners to find the best value. Weekly bookings often work out cheaper per day than short trips. It also pays to look for vehicles in smaller towns where demand is lower and owners may offer more competitive rates.
For couples or solo travellers a compact campervan is ideal — it handles narrow mountain roads and Swiss pass routes with ease. Families with children find more comfort and storage in a motorhome with four to six berths. On Yescapa each listing shows exact specifications and berth count, so you can choose the right size for your trip through the Swiss Alps or along the lakes.
Yes, many vehicles listed on Yescapa in Switzerland welcome pets — look for the pet-friendly filter when searching. Switzerland is a wonderful destination with a dog: numerous campsites allow four-legged guests, and hiking trails in the Alps and around the lakes are often dog-friendly. Before booking, confirm with the owner that your dog's size and number suit the vehicle, and bring your own blanket for the sleeping area.
