Family experiences – fun for all ages

In the Glarus region, families are spoilt for choice – in the best possible way. On the Riesenwald adventure trail in Elm, every walk becomes an adventure, the Tierli-Parkour is home to new animal friends, and the Kerenzerberg ski resort offers fast descents on a scooter. If you prefer to swim, you can splash about in Lake Walensee or discover traces of prehistoric times in the Geopark Sardona. And if the little ones still have energy, there’s only one thing to do: off to the playground – or for a delicious ice cream. This is what family time without boredom looks like: authentic, heartfelt and with a guaranteed ‘come again’ factor.

Summer family highlights

There’s no chance of boredom here: in the Elm Giant Forest, little adventurers meet up with big stories, the Braunwald Animal Trail Parkour takes you to visit various animals, and on the Kerenzerberg, the whole family can speed downhill on scooters – naturally with plenty of laughter. In between, a dip in Lake Walensee or an ice cream in a restaurant is a great way to break up the day. Summer in the Glarus region is wild, warm-hearted and guaranteed to be unforgettable

Winter family highlights

When children’s laughter rings out through the crisp winter air, it’s time for family fun in the Glarus region. Whether they’re taking their first pirouettes on the ice rink, making tracks on a snowshoe hike or turning the night into an adventure on a nighttime sleigh ride, there’s never a dull moment. And the best part: parents can finally be children again.
