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
Table of Contents
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.
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.
Of course, choice and quality of all pictures are outstanding! Only the ‘sujets’ are so well known already. No wow effect anymore. Switzerland is so much more besides the touristic traps. You wouldn’t say: see America, let’s go to NYC! Real gems are off the mainstream foto books! Want to know more, just ask 😉 ! See the PLUS (the Swiss flag, of course)!
Really amazing pictures, from which camera you have taken these pictures?
These photos are breath taking – just like Switzerland!! You’ve really done it justice and brought back many happy memories.
I especially love the photo of Chateaux Chillon. It looks so ‘moody’.
Those photos are absolutely stunning.

I live between Switzerland & the UK and a lot of these pictures make me feel nostalgic. I liked the Chateaux Chillon a lot! Thank you.
Owing a transfer company in Switzerland has it perks. We see this kind of scenery everyday. Thanks for the post.

The photos are beautiful and have a special light that gives them a surreal and unique. Really good photographer.

I was born and raised in Switzerland. These pictures make me home sick. And I have lived more than half my life in the USA. Still, my family lives in Switzerland!

I always love seeing your photos, especially when they are of such a beautiful country.
Many years ago, my grandmother painted a picture of Chateux Chillon so it was nice to see it from a slightly different angle.
only been to Switzerland once, but loved it. Your HDR shots are gorgeous, they all look like paintings!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year by the way. Hope to meet up with you guys again soon 🙂

Nice photos, but way over photoshopped. It takes away from the picture.
Switzerland is very beautiful place to visit.We have really great Adventure tour when have tour of Switzerland.These pics are very nice and specially the night pics are looking so attractive
Wow, you’re right about the variety in those shots. I love the colours of them too.
But I get the feeling you can’t not take a good photo of Switzerland because of those mountains. With a backdrop like that, every shot is just stunning!!
I have not seen such a mind blowing photographs in my life.. simply awesome!
Amazing photos as always. Switzerland is one beautiful place!
Those are absolutely breathtaking views and I hope you consider taking those shots minus the awful HDR-processing, which is a fad and i’m sure in a few months or years you will agree 🙂 Or not..either way, thanks for sharing!
These are awesome pictures.I am so much impressed by the detailed photography you have done here and the views are awesome.I really enjoyed a lot watching them.Very good job.You guyz are doing awesome work.Keep up the good work.
I’m speechless! Amazing pictures!

Stunning! Love Switzerland that’s why i keep coming back to the place..
Those are stunning captures!! Somebody please transport me to Switzerland!!! You have shot the magnificent place so well.
I love the HD photos. The Chateau and Lucerne at Night are awesome.
Awesome collection of pics.
These are some amazing photographs. Switzerland has some of the most beautiful and dramatic landscapes, images you would think came from a movie.
Dave is truly a great photographer and these photos are simply stunning! The black and white with the purple flower and the night shot of Interlaken are my favorites.
Fantastic shots, Switzerland has a good share of natural landscapes!
Great Photo’s
Awesome Photograph …
Insanely breathtaking!
Amazing photos, as usual! I especially love the one of the wine terraces – so pretty!
Now that people is how to promote Switzerland in photos – truly remarkable what you have captured. If I worked for the Swiss tourism board I’d be contacting you immediately. I’d give anything right now to be sat on the bench looking out at the Swiss Alps.
Switzerland looks so gorgeous. I hope to make it here soon!
I adore Switzerland and these photos really express how beautifully perfect it is.
WOAH, these are stunning. I need to get over my fear of travelling to cold places.
I’m in love with these photos! Been a while since I checked the site (self-imposed mini digital detox), I think the last post I saw were the photos of the Grand Canyon (with all the light pouring in…I wish I could remember the exact name). These are absolutely stunning, some of them even look like paintings. I love the plant (thistle?) in colour in the foreground with everything else in black and white, the first two of Bern, and the one of Interlaken the best (the mountain in the background is a fantastic effect). Needless to say I’ll be checking in more often now that I’m fully back online!
Wow those are some stunning travel experaince
Looks like a very charming country! I fell in love with the third picture with the Swiss Alps 🙂
Those photos are absolutely stunning. Wow. Absolutely incredible. I could learn a thing or two from you!

Typical Switzerland is right! Every way you turn in Switzerland is another fantastic sight. Loved your pictures.
Simply gorgeous. I loved the wine terraces in Lavaux, I was there last fall and the colors were incredible!
I lived in Switzerland for over four years. These shots certainly make me yearn for the mountains. Great job capturing the beauty of the countryside. Cheers!
Stunning, stunning, stunning! I particularly love the one of Interlaken at night – amazing shot!
