Intro
Braunwald is one of the most family-friendly ski areas in Switzerland. It is car-free, easy to navigate and perfectly tailored to the needs of children and parents alike. Here, the focus is not on fast-paced activity, but rather on shared winter experiences in a relaxed atmosphere.
Learning to ski made easy
At the Kinderland Hüttenberg children’s snow sports area, younger visitors can have fun trying out skiing for the first time in a playful way. Lift systems, child-friendly practice slopes and the supervision offered by the ski school will ensure that younger ski fans quickly come to feel at ease. What’s more, parents can be right there to see their children’s progress for themselves.
The area around Grotzenbüel, too, is ideal for beginners and families alike. The wide, easily manageable slopes offer plenty of space for practising and provide a sense of safety for novice skiers. This makes them ideal for visitors to Braunwald wanting to try out skiing or improve on their skills in a relaxed atmosphere.
Right by the slopes, the family-friendly Chämistube mountain restaurant with its sun terrace is the perfect place to stop for a break. While the adults are busy enjoying the view, kids will love the child-friendly menus. This is a relaxed, down-to-earth place right in the heart of the ski area.
Tobogganing in Braunwald – a highlight for the whole family
A toboggan run guides visitors from Grotzenbüel to Hüttenberg, over a distance of around three kilometres – a real highlight for young and old. The route, which is reserved exclusively for tobogganing, includes open slopes and snow-covered wooded sections. And the connecting cable car makes it easy to get right back to the start again.
What makes Braunwald ideal for families
- Car-free mountain village – safe and peaceful
- A manageable ski area where everything is close at hand
- Special offers for children and beginners
- The combination of skiing and tobogganing, available together in one place
