US travel warning: Caution in Switzerland-these risks threaten!

Schweiz, Land - The US State Department issued a level 1 travel warning for Switzerland on May 20, 2025. This warning emphasizes the need to observe normal precautions, but makes it clear that Switzerland is one of the safest travel countries, says Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection. Level 1 is the lowest risk category in a four -stage system and does not mean that the country is classified as dangerous.

The travel warning aims to inform citizens about potential risks. An essential element of this warning is the recommendation to register with the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (Step). This gives travelers important information and warnings from the US message. Further advice includes preparing for emergency situations, obtaining information on health risks and taking out travel insurance.

Although specific reasons for the travel warning have not been mentioned, possible protests and a medium risk of crime is pointed out. Travelers will get increased vigilance, especially in highly frequented tourist areas such as museums, monuments, train stations, airports and subway. In addition, alpine, such as avalanches, is pointed out, which is particularly important for winter sports tourists.

For Germany, an increased travel warning of level 2 is currently underestimated, which is mainly justified by the threat of terrorism. In recent years, several countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom and Germany, have updated their travel warnings, especially since Donald Trump has been back in office, and recommend increased caution when traveling to the USA.
