Hiking trip or not with 10 & 12 year olds end Oct?
-
Hi,
We just arrived back from a beautifully sunny 3-day long weekend in Zermatt with hiking (5 Seeweg, Gorner Gorge), sightseeing (Gornergrat Train, Matterhorn museum) and having fun trying out lots of Ziplines in the Forest Fun Park. We loved all that Zermatt had to offer despite the crazy prices and now I am wondering about doing a similar thing another place in Switzerland for a 3/4/5 day trip during our school break from around 22nd of October as I wonder what other gems are out there. I loved all of the
trip but especially the hiking, the museumand the compactness andcosy feeling of the old part of Zermatt where we stayed in a flat. Experiencing that was super special and very different from say going to Verbier, Leysin or Anzerre where we have been skiing.I am now wondered about Grindenwald, Lauterbrunnen or similar. However, I understand from people in Zermatt, the net and from discussions on this forum that lots of mountains villages, and some train lines, close down around this time.
Do you kind people on this site have any thoughts on this plan? Or might you have completely different suggestions for where to go, and what NEEDS to be seen
of Switzerland and what might be an all-around fun trip with some hiking with my two daughters? Or had we better wait with another mountain hiking and village fun experience till Spring or early Summer? If so when, I see people saying June is too early due to melting snow etc?We live near Lausanne but are very happy to travel..
