Grindelwald Glacier Gorge

The Gletscherschlucht Grindelwald is an impressive natural wonder that you and your family must experience. This spectacular gorge was formed over thousands of years by the Lower Grindelwald Glacier. You can experience the power of nature up close as you hike through the gorge. The path leads you over wooden walkways and tunnels deep into the narrow gorge, while the thundering water flows beneath you. A particular highlight is the spider's web platform, where you can experience dizzying views into the depths. Put on sturdy shoes and get ready for an unforgettable nature experience!

Panning for gold

Have you ever dreamed of finding real gold? The whole family can make this dream come true by panning for gold! With a gold panning pan and a little patience, you sit down on the banks of a river and search for the shiny precious metal. The experts will teach you the craft. The gentle sound of the water and the excitement of finding a gold nugget make this excursion a special experience. Let yourself be infected by the gold-digger atmosphere and find your own piece of gold!

KUHniversum

Experience the production of the famous Trauffer wooden toys up close. On the experience tour, you can see how the colourful cows and other toys are made by hand using traditional methods. Particularly exciting: you can carve or paint your own wooden toy and take it home with you as a unique souvenir.

The large playground offers plenty of space for the little ones to run around and explore, while parents can enjoy the idyllic surroundings. Traditional Swiss specialities prepared with fresh, regional ingredients await you in the cosy restaurant.

Downhill-Trottinett

Mountain biking in Zermatt is a must for adrenaline junkies and outdoor fans! You hurtle along the foot of the Matterhorn down into the valley. You'll experience pure action and can determine the speed yourself. The special bikes are stable and offer you secure grip, even on uneven terrain. The Matterhorn Express gondolas take you up to Schwarzsee (2,583 m) and the exciting descent over hill and dale can begin. Put on your helmet and off you go - feel the wind in your face and enjoy the thrill!

No matter which activity you choose, each of them promises unforgettable moments and plenty of fun for the whole family. Try it out and discover new adventures together!
