Find a wide selection of campervans and motorhomes for hire in Switzerland and the surrounding area. Discover unique vehicles offered by private owners: from compact campervans for 2 people, perfect for couples, to spacious 6-berth motorhomes, ideal for families. Flexibility, competitive prices and insurance included.
Switzerland packs 1,500 lakes and 48 peaks above 4,000 metres into a country roughly 350 km wide, making it one of Europe's most geographically dense destinations for a road trip. From the shores of Lake Geneva in the west to the Engadin Valley in the east, the landscape shifts between French-speaking vineyards, German-speaking alpine meadows, and Italian-speaking palm-lined lakefronts. The distance from Zurich to Zermatt is around 230 km, yet the drive crosses three distinct climate zones and passes through the Lötschberg region. Iconic landmarks such as the Matterhorn, the Chapel Bridge in Lucerne, the Rhine Falls near Schaffhausen, and the Aletsch Glacier — the largest ice stream in the Alps — are all reachable by well-maintained roads designed with touring vehicles in mind. From Bern to Interlaken the journey is just 56 km, opening up the Jungfrau region for day trips without needing to relocate your base. Mountain passes like the Gotthard, Furka, and Susten are generally open from June to October and offer spectacular driving with designated rest areas and wide turning bays. Switzerland's compact size means you can combine lakes, cities, and high-altitude scenery in a single week. With Yescapa, you hire a campervan or motorhome directly from local owners spread across the country, giving you flexible pick-up points and a personal introduction to each vehicle before you set off.
The best months to hire a campervan in Switzerland are June to September, when mountain passes are open and campsites operate at full capacity. July hosts the Montreux Jazz Festival on the shores of Lake Geneva, and August brings the Swiss National Day celebrations on 1 August with fireworks across the country. Spring and autumn are quieter, with lower prices and golden larch forests in October drawing photographers to the Engadin. Through Yescapa, peer-to-peer pricing often undercuts traditional hire companies, especially outside peak summer weeks. Book early for July and August to secure the widest choice of vehicles in Switzerland.
To help you plan your trip, we have selected six unmissable road trips, suitable for all travelers.
This 180 km loop links Lake Neuchâtel, Lake Biel, and Lake Murten through gentle vineyard country. Ideal for a campervan, the route passes medieval Murten and the watchmaking town of La Chaux-de-Fonds. Allow 3–6 days to enjoy lakeside campsites and local wine trails in western Switzerland.
Wind through 220 km of rolling green hills in north-eastern Switzerland, taking in the car-free village of Appenzell and the Säntis summit at 2,502 m. This short route suits both campervans and motorhomes, with well-equipped stopovers near Stein and Urnäsch. Plan 3–6 days to savour the region's famous cheese dairies.
Covering 350 km over 5–8 days, this route follows the northern shore of Lake Geneva through Montreux and Lausanne before climbing into the Rhône Valley toward Sion and Crans-Montana. Expect excellent motorhome facilities at lakeside campsites and panoramic views of the Dents du Midi along the way.
A 400 km circuit through Switzerland's heartland, linking Interlaken, Grindelwald, and the Brünig Pass before descending to Lucerne. Over 5–8 days you pass beneath the Eiger's north face and cruise along Lake Brienz. Campervan-friendly pitches are plentiful in the Jungfrau region.
Tackle 550 km and five major Swiss passes — Susten, Grimsel, Furka, Gotthard, and Klausen — over 7–11 days. The route is best suited to motorhomes under 7.5 m. Service areas at Andermatt and Airolo offer fresh water and waste disposal between high-altitude stretches.
This 700 km tour over 10–15 days circles Switzerland from Zurich through St. Gallen, the Engadin, Lugano, Zermatt, and Geneva before returning north via Bern.

Switzerland offers campsites in almost every setting, from glacier-view pitches in the Bernese Oberland to palm-shaded spots on the shores of Lake Maggiore in Ticino. Most sites provide electric hook-ups, fresh-water filling stations, and chemical-toilet disposal points suitable for both campervans and motorhomes. Many Swiss campsites also feature heated sanitary blocks, on-site shops, and direct lake or river access, making them comfortable bases for exploring the surrounding mountains and valleys.
Switzerland requires a motorway vignette (CHF 40, valid one calendar year) for all vehicles using its national motorways, available at border crossings, post offices, and online. Speed limits for motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes are 120 km/h on motorways, 80 km/h on main roads, and 50 km/h in built-up areas. Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are limited to 100 km/h on motorways and 80 km/h elsewhere. Several alpine tunnels, including the Gotthard Road Tunnel, can experience queues in summer — check real-time traffic before setting off. Rest areas with motorhome service points are well signposted along major routes such as the A1 and A2.
