Lightbulb Switzerland in June?

Can anyone tell me what to expect in terms of the weather in Switzerland during June? I'm going to Zermatt, Lauterbrunnen, and Lugano and I'm wondering if it's a take pants and a sweatshirt type place or if I can pull of sandals etc.

Forget just sandals. If you're heading up into the mountains, you'll soon regret not bringing a pair of hikers or sturdy pair of running shoes. As for the rest of your outfit, it depends on what you plan to do there. If you're staying at the hostels, then you may be able to get away with summer wear. HOWEVER if you're heading out onto any of the trails, it's wise to bring at least a warmer shirt. Although it may be warm and sunny, weather can change dramatically, dangerously quickly up in the mountains. Also, many of the peaks are covered in snow year-round, so keep this in mind. If you're hiking overnight, then you DEFINITELY need warm clothing, as the temperatures can plummet.
Have fun, end enjoy the lovely scenery!
