Why this trip
Gstaad sounds like glamour, but in summer it is a quiet mountain village with cows on the pastures and hiking trails on the doorstep. From June to September families find a valley here in which children have plenty of room and the distances stay short. The Wispile railway leads up a sunny mountain with short paths on which even pre-school children make progress. Glacier 3000 takes families onto a glacier, where on the Peak Walk by Tissot you cross a narrow suspension bridge between two peaks, an experience for school-age children with a head for heights, but also an excursion where warm clothing and a rest after the ride do you good.
The mountain railways in the valley open further paths without you needing the car. The village lies in the Saanenland, and from there Crans-Montana, Verbier and Interlaken can be reached by car. With children, a base with a room for everyone and access to railway and playground is above all worthwhile. You put your questions on daily rhythm and accommodation in a video call with Family.
