My really personal list of the best locations for your Elopement or Pre-Wedding Photoshoot in Switzerland
If you dream of an intimate wedding in a breathtaking setting, Switzerland offers spectacular landscapes that are perfect for an elopement. From majestic mountains to crystal-clear lakes, every corner of this country provides a unique atmosphere for a romantic and unforgettable ceremony. Let’s explore some of the best locations for your fairytale Elopement or photoshoot!
Grindelwald & Kleine Scheidegg
For those who dream of exchanging vows surrounded by Alpine peaks, the Jungfrau region is the perfect choice. Here, between snow-capped summits and spectacular landscapes, you can read your Vows overlooking the Jungfraujoch, the “Top of Europe.” After saying “I do,” you can toast with champagne against a postcard, perfect backdrop or embark on an unforgettable journey aboard the Jungfrau Railway, which offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Swiss Alps.
Oeschinensee
An Alpine lake surrounded by towering mountains. Oeschinensee is one of the most romantic locations for an elopement in Switzerland. Imagine saying your vows on its tranquil shores or on a big rock overlooking the calm waters. Here, you can celebrate with a gourmet picnic, enjoy a boat ride, or simply bask in the serenity of this hidden paradise. In the summer, hiking trails offer spectacular views, while in the winter, the frozen lake becomes an enchanting setting.
Val Verzasca
Val Verzasca, with its turquoise river and characteristic stone bridges, is the ideal place for a ceremony immersed in nature. The charming village of Sonogno, located at the end of the valley, adds an authentic and romantic touch, with its traditional stone houses and cobblestone streets. Nearby, the Fróra waterfall provides a magical backdrop for photos or even a small, intimate ceremony.
Zermatt
Zermatt is synonymous with Alpine romance. With the majestic Matterhorn as your backdrop, your photoshoot or Elopement will have a magical and cinematic atmosphere. Take a ride on the Gornergrat railway to marvel at the stunning views of the Alps and after saying “I do,” enjoy a candlelit dinner in one of the region’s exclusive restaurants in Zermatt will be the best ending of a wonderful day.
Sertig Valley – Davos
For those looking for a location off the beaten path, Sertig Valley in Davos is a true romantic retreat. With its lush green meadows in summer it provides a unique backdrop for an intimate wedding. After the ceremony, explore the valley on and toast with chanpagne in this green paradise. This location is so intimate and peacefull, the only sounds you’ll hear are the river and the distant chime of cowbells.
Lugano Lake
For those who love the blend of Alpine scenery with a touch of Italian dolce vita, Lake Lugano is the perfect location. Say “I do” in an elegant lakeside villa or on a terrace overlooking the shimmering waters. After the ceremony, enjoy a private boat cruise, a sunset aperitif, or a gourmet dinner in a panoramic restaurant. The region’s lush gardens, palm trees, and charming old town streets add a unique romantic touch to your special day.
