Travelling to Switzerland with an infant
A traveler with a 16-month-old toddler is planning a trip to Switzerland and wants to know if the country is pram-friendly. They are particularly interested in places they might not be able to visit with their baby and if there are options to leave the pram when taking cable cars, like to Titlis.
- Switzerland is generally pram-friendly, and you can take your pram on cable cars or leave it at the station while you explore.
- Check with your pediatrician about altitude concerns, especially if planning to visit places over 2500 meters.
- You can find plenty of baby food in local supermarkets, so packing baby food shouldn’t be a worry.
- There are usually places to leave luggage at train stations for convenience.
- Consider collapsing your pram when using cable cars, as it might be required.

You can take the pram with you in the cable car, or leave it in the station and take it with you when you are back.
Hi rsinghal23 –
Welcome to the My Swiss Alps –
<<“is the country pram friendly which places we will not be able to go with the baby is there provision to leave pram if we take cable ways to titlis etc””>
Sorry I don’t have all the answers to your questions.
However, there are approximately 846,235 places to go in Switzerland, plus or minus a few thousand.
Thus, it is difficult to answer your question about even a tiny fraction of those places.
The Swiss make an effort to support all travelers.
If you propose an itinerary, we can comment on it.

Hi rsinghal23,
The main thing to prepare for is the altitude. You need to check with your pediatrician whether it’s ok to take your child to places over 2500 m. Please see the Titlis page, for example. But even if it’s advised against, there are plenty of places left to visit.
Thanks for your response. it is very assuring..
Thanks everyone for your reassuring comments.. I feel safer travelling with my baby now.. any special things i b=need to carry for the baby..
I would just take whatever you normally take along for your baby. There’s plenty of baby food in all supermarkets, so that should not be an issue. I’m sure you’ll have a great time!

Hi rsinghal23,
Here is some information about travelling with children, and with a baby buggy/pushchair/stroller, that you might find useful:

When taking a baby buggy on cable cars, they will probably ask you to collapse it first.
At Zermatt, families are advised not to take children under the age of 3 beyond Trockener Steg – see attached picture re where that is.
