Mountain hiking with kids

“SHORT HIKES, SNACKS AND A LIGHT BACKPACK”

We recommend families to choose mountain holidays where hiking can alternate with other activities. Even teenagers enjoy combining hiking with things like cycling and fishing. The areas we recommend for day hikes are suitable for hiking with children. Different lengths of marked trails are available, and you can easily get up into the alpine zone.

Hiking must always take the child into account. There’s a lot to discover and you shouldn’t be in a hurry. Many breaks and perhaps a little play make it more fun.  Stop for lunch by a stream and there will be plenty to do. Let your kids carry their own small backpacks. Children over the age of 10 often love to reach the summit of a mountain. It needn’t be a tall one, but a summit is a summit! To take children on multi-day hikes, they should be aged at least 13–14 years
