Campos do Jordão é um dos quinze municípios paulistas considerados estâncias climáticas pelo estado, por cumprirem os pré-requisitos definidos por lei estadual. Tal nomeação garante a esses municípios uma verba maior por parte do Estado para a promoção do turismo regional. O município também adquire o direito de agregar junto a seu nome o título de estância climática, termo pelo qual passa a ser designado tanto pelo expediente municipal oficial quanto pelas referências estaduais.

Campos do Jordão é chamada de "Suíça Brasileira", como estratégia de marketing, pela sua arquitetura tardia baseada em construções europeias e pelo seu clima mais frio que a média brasileira. Por isso, a cidade recebe maior quantidade de turistas durante a estação do inverno, especialmente no mês de julho.

É o município com a sede administrativa mais elevada do país, atingindo 1 628 metros acima do nível do mar, onde está localizada a prefeitura da cidade, e que pode variar para mais de 2 000 metros nos arredores do município. Está localizado no maciço da Serra da Mantiqueira, uma das mais elevadas cadeias de montanhas do Brasil. Possui uma área de 289,5 km². É constantemente visitado por turistas de todo o Brasil e até mesmo do exterior, que vão à localidade para gozar do clima de inverno.

Campos do Jordão (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈkɐ̃pus du ʒoɾˈdɐ̃w]) is a municipality in the state of São Paulo in southeastern Brazil. The population in 2003 was 47,903 inhabitants and the area is 290.27 square kilometres (112.07 sq mi). The city is situated 1,628 metres (5,341 ft) above sea level and is the highest city in Brazil.

The Mantiqueira mountains provide unique panoramic views, and the municipality's region still has undeveloped old growth Atlantic Forest habitat. The endemic Brazilian Paraná pine (Araucaria angustifolia) is found here. There are numerous outdoor activities for tourists and winter residents. These include hiking, mountain climbing, treetop cable swings (arborismo), horseback riding, and ATV and motorbike riding. July, of winter season vacations, sees an enormous influx of visitors (more than quadrupling the city's population), due in part to the winter festival of classical music.

Its attractions throughout the year include German and Swiss cuisine restaurants, bars, and a cable car. There are many pousadas (inns) and chalets. Also, in order to cater to the large number of visitors, several bars, lounges, discos and clubs open during the winter months.

A former state governor had a winter residence here, the Boa Vista Palace, which is now a museum in the city.

The city's economy is based mainly on tourism; due to its location at high elevation in the Mantiqueira mountains, and traditional European-style architecture. Buildings are mostly vernacular architecture from German, Swiss, or Italian models. Many of the wealthiest residents in the state of São Paulo have winter country houses here.

Despite the high income of many visitors, the HDI (0.820 in 2004) of Campos do Jordão is not very high because the owners of the houses in the best neighbourhoods are not regular inhabitants; these houses are used only during the holidays. The city can be reached from São Paulo mainly by road through the Rodovia Floriano Rodrigues Pinheiro. There is also a picturesque railroad from Pindamonhangaba, used mostly by tourists. At the end of the main road going through Campos do Jordão, there is a state park called Horto Florestal.
