Day by day

Day 1: Arrival in Interlaken. The gorge near Grindelwald is a gentle introduction. A path leads along the rock walls polished by the glacier, and a walkable net bridge spans the gap above. Children from kindergarten age manage the stretch well, and smaller ones can ride in a carrier. Take a jacket with you, because the gorge stays cool even in midsummer.

Day 2: OUTDOOR - Interlaken Base. Today the cable car takes you up from Wengen to the Männlichen. Up top you will find wide meadows, cowbells and a panorama as far as the 3,000-metre peaks. The summit area is flat enough for pushchairs with large wheels, and there are plenty of benches. If you see the children getting tired, simply ride back down, and the day is not lost.

Day 3: Aletsch Glacier. The Aletsch is the longest river of ice in the Alps and lies in the Valais, so this is more of a long day trip. Allow generous time for the journey and do not be tempted by hiking ideas. A viewpoint overlooking the ribbon of ice is enough to make children marvel. Sunglasses and hats belong in everyone's luggage.

Day 4: Jungfrau Ski Region - Mürren - Schilthorn. What will your children say to a car-free village clinging to the edge of a cliff? You reach Mürren by train via Lauterbrunnen, and from there you continue towards the Schilthorn. The summit is known for its revolving restaurant and its film history. With the Wengernalp Railway and cable cars the little ones sit a lot, so a playground in the village is worth a stop along the way.

Day 5: Alpine Wildlife Park Interlaken. You can see roe deer, ibex and marmots at close quarters in the Alpine Wildlife Park, without crowds and without a queue at the entrance. The paths lead through woodland and can also be managed with a pushchair. Pack a picnic, because rest areas are scattered between the enclosures. A quiet day that spares legs and nerves.

Day 6: Winter Park Interlaken. In the morning the Harderbahn swings up to the Harder Kulm. Up there Interlaken lies far below between the two lakes, and from the platform the children can count the boats. The path to the summit restaurant is short and easy to walk. Later the Winter Park Interlaken presents itself as a place for snow, provided the season plays along.

Day 7: Farewell to Interlaken. Finally there is the Höhematte, the big meadow in the middle of town. Locals kick a ball about here, sheep sometimes graze, and the view of the Jungfrau is free. Let the children run around before you get on a train or into the car. An ice cream from the little market lane next door rounds off the last morning.
