Hundreds of vehicles are available to rent, from Schaffhausen to Graubünden, from Appenzell to St. Gallen and from Glarus to Thurgau. The vehicles on MyCamper cover every type. If you're traveling as a couple with fairly little luggage, you'll find a wide choice of campervans. If you need a bit more room for fellow travelers and luggage, you can rent one of the many motorhomes in Eastern Switzerland. They range from smaller, more simply equipped semi-integrated models to larger, fully integrated motorhomes with luxury fittings. Even unusual requests are covered on MyCamper.

Few areas of Switzerland offer as much variety in landscape and culture as Eastern Switzerland. The landscapes range from the orchard-covered hills of Thurgau on Lake Constance to the mountains of the Appenzell Alps and the high Alpine peaks of Graubünden. That makes large parts of Eastern Switzerland a great place for hikers, climbers and mountain bikers in summer. In winter, the same goes for skiers, snowboarders and cross-country skiers. Eastern Switzerland isn't just beautiful to look at: some of the most beautiful towns in Switzerland are here too. St. Gallen, with its cathedral and its grand historic Abbey Library, is well worth a visit. So is Chur, the oldest town in Switzerland, with its charming old town. Many tourists also head to the famous resorts of Arosa, Davos and St. Moritz in the Graubünden Alps. Eastern Switzerland has plenty of art and culture too. Lots of museums cover a wide range of topics, from nature and technology to art and history, textiles and folk culture. There's something for every taste.

Pass roads and campsites in Eastern Switzerland

If you rent a camper in Eastern Switzerland, the mountains of the Swiss Alps are never far away. Eastern Switzerland has a long list of pass roads. Some of the most spectacular mountain crossings in the country are in the canton of Graubünden. Ten pass roads in Graubünden climb above 2,000 meters: the Albula, Bernina, Flüela, Julier, Livigno, Oberalp, Ofen, San Bernardino, Splügen and Umbrail passes. You can count on great views of the mountains. Because of the tight hairpins and steep gradients, some of the passes aren't suitable for every type of camping vehicle. If you'd rather stay on flatter ground, head to Thurgau on Lake Constance in particular. You'll find lovely drives there through orchards and sunny vineyards.

If you rent a camper in Eastern Switzerland, you can choose from around 100 campsites across the region's cantons. Few other regions in Switzerland have such a wide range of campsites. Whether on the shores of Lake Constance, in the valleys of Graubünden or in the Appenzell Alps: every camper finds the right campsite in Eastern Switzerland.

When is the best time to rent a camper in Eastern Switzerland?

Around 60% of all rentals in Eastern Switzerland start between June and August, almost half in July and August. In summer, Lake Constance and Lake Untersee are in demand. The Schwägalp at the foot of the Säntis is a popular spot for a day in the mountains.

Summer is the right time anyway for the Graubünden passes from the section above: the Albula and Splügen passes are closed in winter. In spring and fall, Lake Constance and Appenzellerland are quieter, and it's easier to find a spot right by the water.
