Teneriffa in Spanien is a destination that Family plans for families, focusing on children, safety and short distances. Behind it stands Swiss Vibes, a Swiss travel agency with video consultation, which puts together family trips with short distances. The planner asks about family and period, and on the video call Swiss Vibes clarifies the details.

Why this trip
Why do many families from Switzerland fly to the Canary Islands in spring or autumn? Because the island of Tenerife is close, with a flight time of around 2 hours, and the climate stays mild in April to June as well as in September and October. For children the journey is short enough that the arrival does not become a strain, and parents save themselves long connections. What is special is the contrast: here the Teide volcano, which sits enthroned above the clouds and shows children how unusual a landscape can look, there the black lava beaches, where sand feels quite different from at home.
The coastal towns are lively and have promenades and squares where children find room to play. If you choose a family room, you can make the siesta a habit and go out to eat in the evening without hurry. Spain does not require a visa from Swiss travellers, because Schengen applies. Gran Canaria lies nearby as a neighbouring island, in case you consider changing islands.
With Swiss Vibes you discuss in a video call whether an excursion to the Teide makes sense with smaller children or whether a bathing day by the sea suits better.
Getting there
The family travels from Zurich or Basel-Mulhouse, and Swiss Vibes plans connection times so that the children have breaks in between.
