Where You’ll Stay

A refined wellness resort nestled at the edge of the Alps, where comfort and elegance meet. Here, your family can ease into the rhythm of winter with expansive spa facilities and direct access to healing thermal waters.

‍

Why You’ll Love the Region

This peaceful corner of eastern Switzerland is known for its historic wellness culture and surprisingly excellent wine scene. But beyond the spa walls lies one of the country’s most scenic winter secrets: Walensee. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs and snowy forests, this crystalline lake is dotted with tiny, storybook villages—some only accessible by boat in winter.

‍

Experience Inspiration

• Immerse yourselves in thermal bathing culture at one of Switzerland’s most iconic spas.

• Enjoy a private wine tasting at a family-run vineyard in one of the country’s top wine-producing areas.

• Ferry across the Walensee to a secluded lakeside village, where time seems to stand still.

Where You’ll Stay

A hidden alpine lodge, far from the crowds and reachable only by snowmobile. Cozy, candlelit evenings, snow-dusted balconies, and the scent of pine make this an unforgettable mountain escape.

‍

Why You’ll Love the Region

Perched in the highlands of the Grisons, this is winter at its most pure. With no cars, no noise, and no distractions, you’re free to disconnect and rediscover the joy of simple pleasures—fresh air, starry nights, and snowflakes on your eyelashes.

Where You’ll Stay

A contemporary alpine haven that mixes chalet warmth with international elegance. Panoramic mountain views, cozy lounges, and a world-class spa make it a luxurious stop for both relaxation and adventure.

‍

Why You’ll Love the Region

Andermatt sits at the crossroads of several alpine passes, giving it a storied past and a bold, stylish present. Its dramatic peaks, charming old town, and lesser-known trails offer both thrill and tranquility. And for those craving unique moments—it delivers in spades.

‍

Experience Inspiration

• Indulge in a private fondue dinner tucked away in the snow, reached by lantern-lit trail.

• Hop on a toboggan for a joyful family ride through snowy forests.

• Visit a mountain farmer still living in isolation during winter, reachable only by tiny cable car or snowmobile—a true glimpse into Swiss alpine life.

Why You’ll Love the Region

Gstaad is a fairytale come to life—wooden chalets, horse-drawn sleighs, and snow-covered promenades. But behind the postcard exterior lies one of Switzerland’s most refined culinary and cultural scenes.
