Why this trip
Geneva suits as a family destination exactly where you would not expect it: on the water. The lake lies in the middle of the city, the promenade is flat and broad, and the Jet d'Eau shoots a high fountain into the sky, which children see from afar and marvel at up close. June to September is the time for swimming, strolling and boating. If you extend the walk along the shore, you reach lidos, playgrounds and green spaces where families spread out picnic blankets.
The old town on the hill with its narrow lanes is a quiet excursion for older children who like stairs and stories. The city is known as the seat of the UN and the Red Cross, which makes a good topic of conversation for school-age children. As Geneva lies in the west of Switzerland, the journey for families is short and possible without a flight. Verbier, Gstaad and Crans-Montana are nearby, but combining city and mountain day takes time in the train or car.
It is better to plan one base with short distances. You agree room and daily plan in the video call with Swiss Vibes.
Getting there
The family travels from Zurich or Basel-Mulhouse, and Swiss Vibes plans connection times so that the children have breaks in between.
