Over the past few years, we’ve seen a growing number of families requesting multigenerational trips to Switzerland. Grandparents, parents, and children want to share special time together, but they also want a trip that works for everyone’s pace, interests, and comfort. Designing these itineraries is one of the most rewarding parts of our work—it’s about creating space for connection while ensuring each family member feels the journey was designed just for them.

Why Switzerland Is Perfect for Multigenerational Families

Nature at your doorstep:

In minutes you can go from a charming old town to a lake or alpine meadow. Short distances mean less time in transit and more time making memories.

‍

Small, stress-free cities:

Compact, walkable places like Lucerne, Bern, or Geneva are easy for all ages—no overwhelming sprawl, plenty of benches, cafés, museums, and gentle strolls.

‍

Shared mountain views, different paths:

Switzerland’s peaks are accessible by cable car or cogwheel train for anyone who prefers a relaxed ascent—while hikers can tackle the trail and meet at the top. Same stunning summit, different routes.

‍

Hotels that suit every generation:

Many of our favorite properties offer pools, spas, kids’ clubs, and inviting lounges—perfect for those who want to stay in while others head out for an adventure.

‍

Experiences everyone truly enjoys:

Think chocolate-making and cheese-making—adults love the craft and tasting, while kids delight in meeting the animals and getting hands-on. Add in local, authentic encounters—like visiting a winemaker or artisan—and you’ve got activities that feel special for all ages.

‍

Private dining brings everyone together:

Mealtimes are where families reconnect. We arrange intimate, memorable settings—fondue among the vineyards, alpmacaroni over the fire in nature, a picnic on a boat, an aperitif on a glacier reached by helicopter, or a gourmet meal in a farmhouse or historic landmark. These meals become the anchor points of the trip.

The Challenge (and How We Solve It)

Multigenerational travel is rewarding—and complex. You’re balancing different energy levels, interests, accessibility needs, room setups, and pacing, plus transfers that keep everyone comfortable. The younger ones might want active mornings, grandparents may prefer gentler starts, and kids need engaging moments that don’t derail the adults’ plans.

We design the flow—when to be together, when to split, and how to re-connect beautifully—and line up the right hotels, activities, and transportation so it all feels effortless.
