Looking for somewhere different to venture on family travel this spring break? Skip the crowds and tourist towns and visit Grand Resort Bad Ragaz, a family-friendly luxury resort tucked away in the alpine foothills of Switzerland’s “Heidiland” region.

 

While this off-the-beaten track destination ensures your family visits someplace unique, it’s not difficult to access: The resort lies just a 75-minute scenic train ride into the Swiss Alps from Zürich. Easily accessible, but free from the chaos of the more well-known areas is a win-win for family travel.

 

In addition to being a renowned destination for art and the culinary arts, the resort has long been considered one of Europe’s top wellbeing and healthy living destinations, known for thermal baths powered by the healing thermal waters of Tamina Gorge, popular with locals and travelers for centuries. Grand Resort Bad Ragaz boasts a wide variety of wellness offerings, and it doesn’t forget the youngest travelers. The dedicated Family Spa welcomes children aged 0 to 16 with special kid-sized robes, spa treatments for kids and a children’s swimming pool filled with the same healing thermal water as the rest of the resort.

 

Beyond wellness, the resort offers an abundance of family-friendly amenities, from a Children’s Villa and family activities like llama and alpaca trekking to family-friendly, Michelin-rated dining.
