Motorhome travel in Switzerland: affordable overnight stays at mountain passes

Silvia and Ferran from Catalonia set off in a motorhome for Turkey but stayed in the Swiss Alps, got a residence permit, and founded Cleo Experience.

Switzerland has reached a record 110,368 registered motorhomes, according to data from August 2026. The growing fleet is increasing supply on the used market, making condition, age, layout and equipment more decisive for sellers.

From August 1, parking motorhomes and caravans on Seebodenalp above Küssnacht am Rigi is banned from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. due to rising overnight tourists.
