Hi I’m going to Switzerland in aug and I understand there are only 2 regions where snow will be available-Zermatt and Jungfrau. I have a 1.5 year old boy with me and we want to let him experience some snow. I wanted to bring him to the Matterhorn initially but was told that my boy is too young to visit the snow area. Is this true? Or is Jungfrau more suitable? Thank you!

Hello Jamestan89 and Welcome to MySwissAlps,

Nice to hear you’re coming along with your little one.

I also think that Klein Matterhorn and Jungfraujoch might be a little to high for such a small kid. They normally don’t enjoy those altitudes.

The best and safest area to find snow in the summer months is Mount Titlis, in Central Switzerland, the peak has snow all year round and offers a safe and fun experience for everybody. You can take a chair-lift do some snow-tubing on the peak, play in the snow and enjoy the suspension bridge “cliff walk”, if you want.

It’s just above 3’000 meters, 10’000 feet, which normally doesn’t affect travellers.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Steph

Hi Steph

thank you! One more thing I need to ask from you.
