When to Elope in Switzerland
Generally speaking mid-June to early October are the best months to elope in Switzerland. Of course it all depends on the exact location that you are going for, the activities that you have in mind and how much you mind Meeting other tourists on your trail and/or being 'limited' by snowfall.
Can we legally get married in Switzerland?
If neither you nor your partner is a legal resident of Switzerland, then unfortunately it will be hard to legally get married here. The only thing you could try is reach out to the Swiss Embassy in your country and check if they can help you.
Many couples that travel to elope choose a non-legal ceremony, a so-called symbolic or commitment ceremony, even in countries where it is possible have a civil ceremony. It's just the easier option as you don't have to deal with all the paperwork and legal regulations. You can choose to get married in your own country before or after eloping, or to just not get officially married at all - make sure you check what this means for you both legally and financially.
