About
WordCamp Switzerland 2027 is a non-profit, volunteer-run gathering of the Swiss WordPress community, organised under the WordCamp programme that supports local WordPress events worldwide. It brings together WordPress users, developers, designers, site builders and agency professionals who work with the open-source CMS and its PHP ecosystem, from first-time bloggers to experienced plugin and theme authors. The event takes place on 5 and 6 March 2027 at Centre Loewenberg, a campus close to Murten (Morat) in the Swiss Lakeland region between Bern and Lausanne, a venue that has hosted WordPress events before. Originally planned for September 2026, the edition was postponed to early spring. The first day is a Contributor Day dedicated to improving WordPress itself, followed by a day of talks, and on-site hotel rooms make it practical to stay on campus for both days. Attendees can expect presentations on building and maintaining WordPress sites, contribution work alongside core and community teams, and plenty of informal exchange between sessions. For a multilingual country with a dispersed WordPress scene, this WordPress conference in Switzerland 2027 offers a rare national meeting point where knowledge and open-source participation are shared in person.

Planning your trip to Murten
Contains sponsored linksWordCamp Switzerland 2027 meets on 5 and 6 March at Centre Loewenberg, a conference centre on the edge of Murten, after being moved from its original September 2026 dates. Murten, called Morat in French, sits on the language border between German- and French-speaking Switzerland beside its own lake. Early March is late winter here, typically cold and grey with crisp clear days, so pack a warm coat. The hook is the town's intact medieval walls, which you can walk along between sessions.
Getting there & around
Zurich (ZRH), Geneva (GVA) and Basel (BSL) are the main international airports, all with direct train links into the Swiss rail network. From Zurich or Geneva allow roughly two hours to reach Murten by train, usually changing in Bern, Kerzers or Fribourg. From Murten station, the Loewenberg centre is a short taxi ride or walk; check directions with the organisers.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Kiwitaxi. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
Swiss trains and cafes often have Wi-Fi, but coverage between connections is patchy for visitors without data. An eSIM keeps the SBB timetable app and maps working throughout your journey. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Murten ramparts walk. The medieval town walls can be climbed at several points and walked along their covered wooden gallery, with views over red rooftops to Lake Murten and the Jura. Access is free and takes 30 to 45 minutes. It is a quick and memorable break close to the venue.
Museum Murten. Housed in a former mill by the lake, the town museum tells the story of the 1476 Battle of Murten against Charles the Bold of Burgundy, alongside regional history. Allow an hour, and check winter opening days before going, as small Swiss museums often keep reduced hours.
Roman Avenches. A few minutes away by train, Avenches was the Roman capital of Helvetia, Aventicum. Its amphitheatre and Roman museum, plus remains of walls and a temple, make a compact half-day trip. Visit in daylight, wear warm clothing, and pair with a coffee in Avenches old town.
Lakeside promenade and Mont Vully. A lakeside path leads from Murten's old town along the water, and across the lake the vineyards of Mont Vully offer walks and viewpoints. In March, lake boats run a limited service or none, so plan to reach Vully by road and allow half a day.
Good to know
Do I need a car to reach Murten?
No, Murten has a railway station with regular connections via Bern, Kerzers and Fribourg. Swiss trains are punctual and the SBB app shows every connection.
What currency and payments are used?
Switzerland uses Swiss francs, and cards and contactless payments are widely accepted. Euros are sometimes accepted but change is usually given in francs at a less favourable rate.
What is the weather in Murten in early March?
Expect cold, often damp conditions with daytime temperatures in single digits Celsius and possible frost or light snow. Bring warm layers and waterproof shoes.
