More about Switzerland costs
A trip to Switzerland is expensive. Prices here are so high that even tourists from the United Kingdom and Scandinavia find it expensive. You'll be spending the most on long-distance transportation, restaurant meals, and accommodation. Midrange hotels charge between 70.00 CHF (67.75 USD) for a single room and 100.00 CHF (96.78 USD) for a double. A complete meal for two that includes wine costs between 50.00 CHF (48.39 USD) and 60.00 CHF (58.07 USD) for each individual.
Despite the inevitable high costs, travelers on a budget can still enjoy Switzerland. For transportation, get a travel pass that gives you access to trains, boats, and buses. The cheapest rooms are found in youth hostels or you can opt to rough it up in camping sites. To save on food expenses, buy your meals at supermarket and department restaurants. Backpack travelers will have to give up alcohol all together to stretch their budget of about 80.00 CHF (77.42 USD) to 100.00 CHF (96.78 USD) daily. If you want slightly more comfortable accommodations, extensive sightseeing and more food choices, you'll have to add 30.00 CHF (29.03 USD).
