Family holidays in Switzerland

Why travel to far-off shores when home has so much to offer?

Destination Dolder has a wide range of leisure activities and opportunities for rest and relaxation – perfect for families in search of adventure. Experience another world high up on the Adlisberg, just six minutes away from the city centre on the Dolderbahn. Families with children will particularly enjoy the nearby Dolder Sports facilities, which include a large outdoor pool, a children’s play area with paddling pool and a minigolf course for the odd round against the relatives and in winter a wonderful ice rink for ice skating.

Spend the night in the fairytale castle with your family:
Our new family rooms offer elegant furnishings in a modern setting in our wings and a spacious feel with room for 2 adults and 2 children (under 12 years) in a extra bed (90 cm).

Younger hotel guests aged 3 to 12 are always welcome in our supervised Kids Room. Our qualified childcare specialist keeps an eye on the little ones while they enjoy themselves for a few hours. Kids can also enjoy accompanied outdoor activities, minigolf in the Dolder Sports facilities and trips to the nearby zoo. We provide this service for our hotel guests free of charge.

We are also happy to arrange childcare outside regular opening hours of our Kids Room or a babysitter for a surcharge of CHF 54.00 per hour, bookable for a minimum of three hours.

The Dolder Bad outdoor pool is 50 metres long, 17.5 metres wide and just a five-minute walk from the Dolder Grand. There is also a tree-lined lawn covering 10,000 square metres with areas for sport and sunbathing, table tennis tables, a volleyball pitch and a children’s play area with paddling pool and a sandpit. Next to the Dolder Bad, you will find the only minigolf course in the city of Zurich. Entry is complimentary for hotel guests, so what are you waiting for?

During the winter months, you can enjoy an unforgettable day on one of the largest open-air ice-skating rinks in Europe – the Dolder Kunsteisbahn. The 6,000-square-metre rink offers exciting and atmospheric winter fun for both young and old – whether for ice skating, “Chneble” or ice hockey. Entry is complimentary for hotel guests.
