Winter vacation with the family in Grächen
Let’s start with your suitcase, winter clothes mean a lot of luggage, which can add up. Chalet Soldanella has a washing machine, so you can perhaps leave a few things at home.
Ski and ski equipment and accessories can of course be hired here in Grächen.
Your vacation apartment
Chalet Soldanella is only a 4-minute walk from the Hannigalp cable car, so you can easily transport your equipment and there are no additional costs for a rental depot.
In our house there is a ski rack and a large shelf for ski boots, so that they are not in the way in your apartment.
For cozy evenings you can borrow a fondue set or a raclette oven from us. We also have a selection for games evenings, as well as various books in our mini library.
You can also be thrifty with toys in your luggage, just tell us the age of your children before you start your journey and we will arrange age-appropriate toys.
Kitchen, bathroom and bed linen is provided and the beds will already be made for you. You don’t need to pack washing-up liquid and dishwasher tabs either.
If you have any further questions, we will be happy to help you. Just give us a call.
Now we come to all the activities you can experience in Grächen in winter.
We start in front of the house
Directly in front of your vacation apartment is a sloping field, perfect for tobogganing and even some first attempts at skiing have taken place here. An ideal place if you want to take a day off skiing, or if your children still have power after skiing, here you can give them the rest, because pulling the bobsleigh back up is manual work here.
Hannigalp
Then of course the Hannigalp, especially the new mountain restaurant with children’s paradise.
In addition to the special family pot, which promises a cheap, nutritious meal for 2 people or more, there is also the integrated 200 m2 indoor playground “Wolkenland”, and just as a tip, go skiing or similar with your children first, once the little ones are playing in the restaurant, you won’t get them motivated to ski so quickly.
You can also charge your cell phone, as the mountain restaurant on the Hannigalp has several charging stations for all common brands and for a fee. There is also free WiFi in the restaurant.
Sisu Family Park
In winter, the Sisu family park is the place for the little ones, where they can learn to ski and two “magic carpets” take them back up the hill without any effort. Take a break on the climbing frame, go to the cinema in the igloo or whizz down the snowtube run on tires. So it never gets boring.
Childcare on the slopes
If mom and dad would like to do their laps alone, you can have your children looked after in the day nursery on the Hannigalp.
Childcare is included for two hours a day and your children between 2 and 6 can also have lunch there if they wish.
Here is a short list of the children’s parks on the Hannigalp by age
There is the SiSu Talentschmiede (4 – 5 years), the above-mentioned 50,000 m2 SiSu Family Park (5 – 8 years). The Family Funslope or the Jump Area for children aged 8 and over.
A highlight in winter are always the shots of your skiing skills on the Skimovie slope (Paradiesli). It makes you feel like the famous ski racers. The ActionCam works in a similar way on the Funslope or the toboggan run, the photos are available from the pick-up machine at the valley station.
Grächen Sports Center
If the weather in Grächen is bad or you want a day off, we can recommend the indoor playground in the sports center, where your children can play freely and creatively, move around or simply relax. The sports center also offers a tennis court and a fitness studio as well as a natural ice rink with regular ice disco. Ice skates can be hired on site.
Snowbike
For all adrenaline junkies or those who want to become one, we have two more attractions in Grächen: the snowbike, have you ever heard of it?
On the Hannigalp you can have the world champion in snow biking explain this adventure to you. You whizz down the slope sitting on a small frame with small skis on your feet.
Fatbike
Similarly, there is the fat bike, a real bike, i.e. a mountain bike with very wide tires, I think you can imagine everything else.
And much more
Tandem paragliding flights, snowshoe hikes, village tours, treasure hunts and so much more. You can do more than just skiing in Grächen, we promise.
Wellness
Oh, one more thing, you can organize childcare at the Grächen tourist office and enjoy a wonderful wellness break at the Matterhorn Valley Aktiv Hotels & Spa Hannigalp and Turmhotel & Spa Grächerhof.
