Hotels in Zurich (Canton), Switzerland

Zurich is a northern Swiss canton hugging Lake Zurich, with a temperate climate that brings warm summers (75°F/24°C) and cold winters (30°F/-1°C). It's best known as Switzerland's financial powerhouse, but its real draw is the lake itself-you can swim at the Seebad Utoquai in summer or hike the Uetliberg mountain for skyline views in any season. In winter, nearby Flumserberg offers skiing just 45 minutes away, while spring and fall are perfect for wandering the cobblestone lanes of Zurich's Old Town with its 12th-century Grossmünster church.
