✨ MORE Tips

Use GotCourts: It’s like Airbnb for tennis. So easy. Just download the app here.
Clay vs. hard court: Like in the rest of Europe, most Swiss outdoor courts are made of a red clay (known in France as terre battue), which is actually crushed brick. Bring proper shoes! Trainers that have a herringbone pattern on the sole are designed for the clay courts, providing needed traction but still the ability to slide. There are now some versitile hybrid Tennis/Pickleball models.

June to October = prime court time in the mountains.
Tennis + trail = magic: Sneak in a mini hike or spa dip after your match.
Pack layers: You know Switzerland—cool at 9, sunny in the afternoon.

Final Serve🎾

Switzerland makes tennis feel like a mini wellness retreat. Whether you’re staying in a mountain chalet, chic city hotel, or lakeside villa, you’re never far from a court with a killer view.

So pack the rackets, grab your crew, and get ready to serve up some alpine energy (and maybe a mocktail afterward). Because you deserve a vacation that’s just as active, inspiring, and grounded as you are.
