Affordable Switzerland for families

Peak season holidays in the ‘car free’ alpine resort of Bettmeralp – a family friendly destination offering gentle hiking on pushchair friendly routes, downhill scooter and cycle trails, tennis and lakeside swimming – are being featured by the Switzerland Travel Centre.

The village, which is situated high in the Rhone Valley, enjoys breathtaking views of the Weisshorn, Dom and Matterhorn and is also close to the Aletsch Glacier, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, accessible by cable car.

A seven-night holiday in July or August costs £439 per adult (twin share), with one child, under 12 and sharing with two adults, paying £142. Prices include return flights from London City, taxes, rail transfers and accommodation with breakfast at the three-star Minotel Alpfrieden. Flights are also available from regional airports, along with family rooms sleeping four (supplements may apply).
