As the year progresses, the weather begins to warm up and the trees and flowers bloom with life. Summer always brings a lot of sunshine with temperatures typically between 20 - 25 degrees centigrade. Swiss people like to make the most of the summer months by enjoying the great outdoors. A lively cafe culture can be enjoyed in most Swiss villages, towns and cities, where people while away the hours at a lakeside cafe, enjoying a superb cappuccino and watching the cosmopolitan population at work and play. Switzerland in the summer also offers the chance to breathe clear mountain air while walking through wonderful rural fields full of Alpine flowers. As night descends, you can enjoy dining under the bright stars at an outdoor restaurant where you can sample a worldwide range of cuisines.
