MORE URBAN FAMILY TIPS<br />
Winterthur<br />
When you visit Winterthur, you simply must stay the night. The<br />
bike-friendly town has plenty to offer and is an ideal destination<br />
for families. The historical Sulzerareal, a huge pedestrian zone<br />
and the Technorama are all waiting to be explored. The latter<br />
now has a gigantic outdoor park where the forces of nature can be<br />
experienced in the open air.<br />

Montreux<br />
All children like castles and fortresses. And this one is a must-see:<br />
The Château de Chillon, perched on a rock just off the shore of<br />
Lake Geneva, is Switzerland’s most-visited historical attraction. It<br />
has inspired countless artists and writers from JMW Turner and<br />
Gustave Courbet to Victor Hugo and Lord Byron; visit the castle<br />
today, and hundreds of years of history – from the 12th to the 16th<br />
centuries – are as vivid as ever. The lake-and-mountain setting is<br />
perhaps the finest in Switzerland.<br />

Chur<br />
Fun for the whole family: Cross Golf is a variation of classic<br />
golf. However, it is not played on golf courses, but in all possible<br />
places that allow a game. The Cross Golf course on Brambrüesch<br />
is played on nine holes between the gondola mountain station<br />
(material hand-out) and the «Bergbaiz Brambrüesch» (material<br />
return). Who can complete the course with the fewest strokes?<br />

Neuchatel<br />
With exciting challenges galore, the “Les Chenapans” scavenger<br />
hunt will bring young and old on a trip around the historic old<br />
town area of Neuchâtel as they search for wall paintings inspired<br />
by the Belle Époque. After 14 stages full of surprises and fun,<br />
the smartest players will find their way to the treasure chest and<br />
discover its contents. A fun, educational activity that is ideal for a<br />
family outing.<br />
