Spring and autumn are best overall; late winter (especially March in resorts) suits snow-focused incentives; Dec–early Mar is peak ski season; May/Jun/Sep are busy in business cities.

Spring and autumn (including September to mid-October) are ideal for mild weather and outdoor activities. Late winter, especially March in mountain resorts, works well for smaller groups with snow activities and a quieter atmosphere. December to early March is peak ski season. May, June and September are busy in cities like Zurich and Geneva due to international events, so earlier booking improves availability.

For peak spring/autumn dates, book up to two years ahead; for off-peak, around one year is recommended, with flexibility possible for last-minute programs.

For optimal planning and venue selection, the document recommends booking major programs up to two years in advance during high-demand seasons (spring and autumn). For off-peak periods, around one year’s notice is suggested. Ovation Switzerland also supports flexible scheduling and last-minute programs when needed.
