Santa Monica

As soon as the sun peeks over the mountains, kids are already bouncing toward the pool. And honestly? You understand them completely. The 192 m² heated pool is a wonderful place to cool off, while the little ones have fun in the separate children's pool. No crowds, but just right. Big enough for games and small enough to keep an eye on them.

But the échte gem? That flows right behind the campground. The Löübbach, a clear mountain stream with shallow water, is a dream for young adventurers. The children spend hours building dams, catching fish with a landing net and simply paddling. And what about you? You sit with your feet in the water and a good book in your hand, while the mountains around you bring the rest of the world to a standstill.

Everything is there, but without fuss. The atmosphere is relaxed, the grounds clear and above all: child-friendly. The playgrounds are clear and are located near the mobile homes and tent sites. There is a covered recreation room where crafts or table soccer can be played when it rains. In summer, there is a cheerful animation team that organises craft mornings, treasure hunts and sports tournaments. Not too crowded, but just enough.

In the evening, you and the whole family slide onto the terrace of the restaurant. The smell of cheese fondue and rösti is in the air, and there's even a good local wine on the menu. The camp store has everything you need, from fresh bread to a Swiss souvenir.

If you're in the mood for adventure, you don't have to go far. From Raron you are só on the cable car or hiking trail. Take a hike to the Aletsch Glacier – impressive is an understatement. The sky, the view, the ice… it feels almost otherworldly. The famous Simplon Pass is also within easy reach. For the daring, there's the spectacular suspension bridge at Raron: high, narrow and with a view that takes your breath away.

A day in town? Zermatt and Saas-Fee are easy to do and definitely worth a trip. In Zermatt you can even admire the famous Matterhorn! In both places you can take cable cars up, hike through alpine meadows full of flowers and then grab a terrace.

And then there are the nearby markets, cozy Swiss mountain villages and rustic farms where you can taste cheese. Take a ride on the mountain train – like stepping into a postcard.
