Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Canton of Zurich

Canton of Zurich — a region worth exploring

The Canton of Zürich sits at the heart of northern Switzerland, where Lake Zürich stretches 40 km from the city southward to the foothills of the Alps. Beyond the lakefront promenades and the medieval Old Town of Zürich itself, the canton offers a surprising range of landscapes — from the rolling vineyards of the Zürich Wine Country around Stammheim to the forested ridges of the Zürcher Oberland. The Rhine Falls near Schaffhausen, Europe's largest plain waterfall, lies just 50 km north of Zürich city, making it an easy day trip by campervan. Heading east, the town of Rapperswil-Jona — roughly 35 km from the city centre — rewards visitors with a rose garden, a castle overlooking the lake, and a wooden footbridge crossing the narrowest point of Lake Zürich. The canton's well-maintained road network and compact distances make it ideal for motorhome travel, whether you are circling the lake or venturing into quieter valleys like the Tösstal. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners across the canton, choosing from a wide variety of vehicles to suit your group size and travel style. It is a practical, peer-to-peer way to explore a region where urban culture and green countryside sit comfortably side by side.

Best time to visit

The Canton of Zürich is enjoyable from spring right through to autumn. May and June bring warm days and blossoming landscapes, perfect for a campervan tour around Lake Zürich. The Zürich Festival (Zürcher Festspiele) runs each June and July, filling the city with opera, theatre, and concerts. In September, the Knabenschiessen festival marks the end of summer with fairground rides and local traditions. Campsites across the canton are generally open from April to October, with peak season in July and August. Booking through Yescapa during shoulder months like May or September often means better availability and more competitive peer-to-peer pricing on motorhome hire.
