Why this trip
A high plateau with sun almost every day and a panorama over the Valais four-thousanders: in summer Crans-Montana is a place where families find a lot in one spot. June to September is the time for walks, cycling tours and excursions by mountain railway. The resort is spread out on a broad terrace, and the gradients are gentle, which is an advantage for children on bikes or balance bikes. The mountain railway leads to viewpoints from which you look out over the Rhône valley and the chain of peaks.
Smaller children like the lakes in the resort and the meadows where blankets can be spread out, while older ones discover golf courses and mountain bike trails. For families from Switzerland the journey is short, which allows a nap in the car or train without stress. Gstaad, Verbier and Zermatt are nearby, but every change costs time that children would rather spend on the meadow. Let your children decide whether it is a day by the lake or on the mountain, and discuss accommodation and routes with Swiss Vibes by video call.
Getting there
The family travels from Zurich or Basel-Mulhouse, and Swiss Vibes plans connection times so that the children have breaks in between.
