Camping with children - an adventure for the entire family

There is hardly a more child-friendly form of holiday than camping: sleeping close to nature under the stars, getting up when you want, not having to stick to breakfast times, listening to the sounds of the night . . . And then there are the kids from the neighbouring tent. They're great for cooking up adventures with.

The Interlaken holiday region: ideal for your family camping trip

If you're looking for a child-friendly campsite in Switzerland, then you've come just to the right place in the heart of the Bernese Oberland: Around Lakes Thun and Brienz, you'll not only find the highest density of campsites north of the Alps. The campsites (with one exception) have also adapted to the needs of families and offer plenty of space to let off steam as well as lots of activities - so that nobody gets bored. Because when the kids are happy, mum and dad can take a deep breath.

The Bernese Oberland - one big adventure playground for children

Freedom smells of smoke. And sometimes a bit like mud. And when the snake bread - home-baked at one of the many barbecue sites in the great outdoors - is finally (!) ready after impatient turning and twisting, no menu in the world can top the flavour experience.

It is these moments that make holidays around Interlaken, Lake Thun and Lake Brienz something very special: The mountains, lakes, alpine meadows and mountain streams offer space for all ages to experience nature in its purest form. Parents can enjoy the mountain panoramas along child-friendly themed trails, because the children have simply forgotten that they are actually ‘hiking’ with all the dwarf stories or marble runs. Stalactite caves are made even scarier by dragon stories. And a family kayak tour on Lake Brienz or Lake Thun can easily be turned into a swimming adventure.
