I’m packing my suitcase….
Let’s start with the luggage that should not be missing on your family vacation here in Grächen:
Warm clothes! Long trousers, jacket/rain jacket etc. Yes, even in summer. I’m sitting here in the middle of August at 11 degrees…. There are always slips.
Under shirts, because there is still a breeze here from time to time.
Sun cream, sunglasses and a sun hat are also essential, as the high-altitude sun is very strong.
Don’t pack too many changes of clothes, in an emergency you can do your laundry at Chalet Soldanella.
Towels for the whole family, kitchen linen and blankets are provided in all our apartments. The beds are also already made when you arrive. Slippers size 38 and up don’t need to be in your suitcase either.
This leaves enough space for a picnic blanket, a must for spontaneously lingering in beautiful places, and we have quite a few of them here!
For the little ones in the family….
For the smaller children in your family, we can provide a crib with bed linen and a high chair. We also have a selection of toys. The apartments are all equipped with a microwave and kettle to heat baby food quickly.
There are socket fuses in the apartments that you can use yourself if you consider it necessary.
All windows at critical heights are fitted with a lock so that children cannot open them on their own.
For the kids in her family
With our sandpit, the swing and the large trampoline your children can have fun around the house. Various games and painting materials are available on request.
If you need a fall-out protection for the bed, we can offer that too.
The big little ones in the family
You have free WiFi throughout the house, the first question when teenagers are our guests.
Board games, boccia, badminton but also the trampoline could be something for the grown-ups.
And now the really big ones…
Dear parents, we also do our best for you.
Sun loungers and parasols are available on every terrace/balcony for you to enjoy the sun and the view. By the way, every apartment has an unobstructed view of the mountains. In our garden there is a barbecue fireplace and a stone table with benches, which you can use for a cozy barbecue evening. There is plenty of wood available. We also have a mini library with novels, hiking guides and illustrated books.
Thanks to the many activities on offer for your children, you are sure to have a quiet minute or two to relax.
Do you have any questions? We look forward to your call!
