Top family holiday on a magical mountainside
Is this the dream family escape? Kids are brilliantly entertained while parents are totally rejuvenated. And it’s all in high style, literally, as the Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne is spectacularly located on a 500-metre-high ledge above the lake from which it draws its name.
Whatever your idea of perfect parenting you’ll find all you need in this Alpine legend. Want them to engage with nature, learn to milk a cow or make Swiss cheese? Tick. Are they little chocolate fiends? Join a gourmet pâtissier in a choco class. Perhaps they are bouncing with energy, or just need to be tempted away from the screen, Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne has world-class sports facilities. Stunning tennis courts host top notch trainers. Whether they’re budding champions or just learning to hold a racket, here’s the place. There’s pickleball too, famously fun for all the family. The calendar of golf competitions encourages young sportifs onto the scenic Alpine course, you might take a swing yourself.
Calm and creativity
While kids leap for joy, parents weep with relief as they relinquish themselves to the heavenly Bürgenstock Alpine Spa. Leave the little ones in the adjacent Kids Club, their own colourful heaven. By the time you float out, they’ll have created something astonishing out of sticks or pom poms and been thoroughly cossetted. Of course, if you have a mini spa devotee they can choose a fruit facial, fairy manicure or princess pedicure.
Enchantment
Arriving at the Bürgenstock Resort is an event in itself. Cross Lake Lucerne by hybrid catamaran and ride the bright red funicular 500 metres up the magical mountainside. The kids will be enchanted. Your accommodation is also pretty special. The vast bathtub seems to float in the scenery, delightful distraction until little fingers go wrinkly. Snuggle up in fluffy robes next to the flickering fireplace, then nestle them in their special cloud bed made up in the bay window, they’ll drift off for sweet dreams.
Reassuringly Swiss
The Bürgenstock Resort team will really transform your holiday. There’s a genuine family spirit which you sense when they’re dealing with your own family. New parents will find this a tender environment. Knowing the kids are cared for by Swiss professionals is very reassuring. It’s definitely somewhere you can let go and finally enjoy precious ‘me time’.
Tempting offer
There’s an excellent Family Getaway available to book. It includes a pass for the resort’s Hammetschwand Lift, whooshing you into out-of-this world scenery on the mountain peak. The highest outdoor elevator in Europe has been thrilling world travellers for nearly 150 years. There’s a Treasure Hunt across the 60-hectare resort, with dashing fun through the forests. Kids have ‘Splash’ n Flash’ time between two pools, and an exclusive family screening at the Bürgenstock Cinema with treats. The icing on the cake is for parents, unlimited time in the ‘World’s Best Hotel Spa’. A family holiday on this mountainside will make many new memories and they’re bound to be absolutely magical.
