Why this trip
No car far and wide: Zermatt is car-free, and for families that is a gift. Children can walk in the streets without parents constantly watching the traffic, and safety in the village is high. From June to September the hiking trails are open, and the Matterhorn stands over everything as a backdrop. By train to Sunnegga, families quickly reach a viewpoint from which walks begin that are manageable even for small legs.
The Matterhorn Glacier Paradise lies at great altitude and gives school-age children an impression of the glacier, though the altitude can tire children, so a quiet first day is wise. The Snowpark Zermatt shows that the resort also offers fun away from the trails. Ten places to stay are available for Zermatt. Look for family rooms that are large enough for four people.
Saas-Fee and Verbier are among the neighbours, if your school holidays leave time for a change of base. Because Switzerland is home turf, neither a visa nor a flight is needed. How many mountain trips per week make sense, you can settle in the video call.
