Glarnerland with Children
Having fun outdoors and happily falling into bed after a great day full of activities. In Glarnerland, families experience nature, sport, and adventure at its best.
High mountains, deep lakes, green meadows, and many activities both in summer and in winter. Only one hour from Zurich, families discover beautiful Glarnerland with its numerous hike trails, climbing routes, lake-side beaches, skiing areas, and family-friendly accommodations ranging from SAC huts to the fairytale-like Märchenhotel in Braunwald.
Those who don’t only want to hike, can go on one of the many theme and adventure trails to discover, play, listen, and learn. Animal lovers, too, will find great activities: From pony riding to carriage rides, to a stroll with llamas and trekking with goats – the animals are looking forward to seeing their little friends. Summer leisure time is on along Lake Walen and Lake Klöntal where families will find enough space to camp, barbecue, and swim. And for sporty winter days, ski bunnies big and small visit the kid-friendly skiing areas with practice lifts and beginner’s slopes.
