Why choose Zurich for your road trip
Zurich — a city worth exploring
Zurich's Grossmünster church has stood watch over the Limmat River since the 12th century, its twin towers forming one of Switzerland's most recognisable skylines. The city blends old-world charm with a forward-thinking spirit — from the cobbled lanes of Niederdorf to the contemporary galleries of Kunsthaus Zürich, home to one of Europe's most important art collections. Stroll along Bahnhofstrasse for world-class shopping, then head to the Swiss National Museum to trace the country's cultural roots. Nature is never far away: Lake Zurich stretches south towards the Alps, and Uetliberg mountain offers panoramic views just a short ride from the centre. For those keen to explore further, Lucerne sits 52 km to the south, while the Rhine Falls near Schaffhausen are roughly 50 km to the north — both ideal day-trip destinations. Zurich's well-maintained roads and clearly signposted routes make it a comfortable base for touring by campervan or motorhome. With Yescapa, you can hire directly from local owners across the Zurich area, giving you a personal touch and flexible pick-up options that suit your schedule. Whether you plan to circle the lake or venture deep into the Swiss countryside, Zurich is a rewarding starting point for your next road adventure.
Best time to visit
Zurich welcomes visitors year-round, though each season brings its own appeal. The Zürich Festspiele arts festival in June fills the city with music, theatre and dance, while the Knabenschiessen folk festival in September draws locals and travellers alike. Summer months are ideal for lakeside campervan trips, with long daylight hours and pleasant driving conditions. Booking early for July and August is wise, as it is the most popular season on Yescapa. Spring and autumn reward with quieter campsites and competitive hire prices from local owners. Winter brings festive Christmas markets along the Limmat — a magical backdrop for a short motorhome getaway.
Top getaways from Zurich
Zurich is the perfect base for exploring the region by motorhome or campervan. Here are our 6 must-see getaways
Zurich to Lucerne
52km south 1–4 days
Just 52 km south of Zurich, Lucerne charms with its Chapel Bridge and Lion Monument. Stop at Lake Zug along the way for a waterside break. Lucerne offers campervan-friendly parking near the lakefront, and a trip up Mount Pilatus by cog railway rounds off the visit. A perfect short getaway from the city.
Zurich to Rhine Falls
85km northeast 1–3 days
Head 85 km north-east of Zurich to reach the Rhine Falls near Schaffhausen, Europe's largest waterfall by volume. Visit Laufen Castle for the best vantage point and take a boat ride to the central rock. Schaffhausen's old town, with its painted façades, is well worth a stroll. Motorhome parking is available right at the falls.
Zurich to Appenzell and Lake Constance
130km east 3–6 days
Travel 130 km east of Zurich to reach the rolling hills of Appenzell and the 2,502-metre Säntis peak. Continue north to Lake Constance, stopping in Rorschach and across the border in Bregenz. En route, St. Gallen's UNESCO-listed Abbey Library is a must. Campsites along Lake Constance offer waterside pitches ideal for a campervan stay of several days.
Zurich to Graubünden
175km southeast 3–6 days
Head 175 km south-east of Zurich into the alpine valleys of Graubünden, starting with the resort town of Davos. Cross the Julier Pass to reach the Engadin valley, where St. Moritz and the turquoise Lake Sils await. The route winds through dramatic mountain scenery on well-maintained pass roads. Pitches in Davos and the Engadin accommodate larger motorhomes comfortably.
Zurich to Geneva via the Bernese Oberland
290km southwest 5–8 days
Geneva lies 290 km south-west of Zurich, but the route through the Bernese Oberland turns the journey into an adventure. Stop in Interlaken between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, visit Grindelwald at the foot of the Eiger, then continue via Montreux on Lake Geneva. Campsites in Interlaken and Montreux offer lakeside access. Allow at least five days for this campervan tour.
Zurich to Ticino and Lake Maggiore
310km south 5–8 days
Travel 310 km south of Zurich over the Gotthard Pass into Ticino, where the climate turns Mediterranean. Bellinzona and its three UNESCO-listed castles make an ideal first stop. Further south, Locarno and Ascona on Lake Maggiore invite you to linger. The Gotthard pass road is well maintained, or you can use the tunnel. Lakeside campsites on Lake Maggiore offer pitches with water views for your motorhome.

5 / 5
Great communication! We have rented several camper vans and this is by far one of the nicest. Comfy bed and everything you could need. Our van was a diesel and got great gas mileage which is a big plus too. We couldn’t have asked for better hosts with their helpfulness and recommendations!

Highly recommended! The campervan was exceptionally clean, spotless, and well-equipped. The owner provided a very thorough walkthrough of the van, and was warm, friendly, and quick to respond. I would happily recommend this to anyone planning to visit the Dolomites!

Beau véhicule. Propre et bien présenté. Nous l'avons trouvé un peu TROP grand pour nous, mais ce n'était pas un défaut du van. Les propriétaires étaient très sympathiques et polis, et les échanges lors de la remise du véhicule, au début comme à la fin des vacances, se sont très bien passés.
