Your accommodation
Your choice of hotel is naturally very important when travelling with children. Our team will be able to offer advice on hotels with family rooms and inter-connecting rooms. You may even find that a Junior Suite works out to be better value for you.
Many of our hotels have a swimming pool, often an major consideration for families. Again, we can suggest suitable hotels.
When it comes to dinner, timing and suitability of food can be vital for younger children. The Sunstar group of hotels (in resorts across the country) allow children up to the age of 11 to order meals directly from the restaurant, whenever they feel hungry. They also offer a children's menu of simple dishes or the option of ordering individual dishes from the standard menu at half price.
The Swiss Family Hotel Alphubel in Saas-Fee deserves special mention for its child friendly menus, as well as a Kids Club with acitivities for younger and older children. In summer the children can play in the hotel garden which has mini golf, badminton, darts and a playground.
If outside space is an essential for letting off steam, a couple of examples of hotels with gardens include the Hotel Saratz (Pontresina) which also has tennis courts and the Hotel Belvedere (Locarno), with outdoor games including petanque.
