When spending money like this, you don’t want to get it wrong.
The typical cost for a 7 day trip to Switzerland for a family of 4 is $6,000–$12,000, not including flights. When spending money like that, you don’t want to get it wrong.
When I planned our first trip, I read alll the guidebooks and joined countless forums that gave thousands of suggestions.
I just felt more overwhelmed.
This guide is different. It gives you a day-by-day, detailed itinerary that was written by a mom of 3 who has taken her kids to Switzerland many times.
The most expensive mistake you can make on a trip like this isn’t which $49 guide to buy. It's landing in Switzerland and spending day 3 on your phone figuring things out.
The Jolly Good Travel Switzerland Guide gives parents the exact Swiss itinerary that works specifically for families with kids.

Instead, you get:

Reviews of The Jolly Good Travel Switzerland Guide:
Who Is The Family Behind Jolly Good Travel?
Hi, I’m Sam, widowed mom of 3.
I've taken my three kids to Switzerland five times now, and the first trip took me the better part of three weeks to plan because the information I needed was scattered across forums, tourism sites, and blog posts written by people traveling without kids. Everything in this guide is somewhere we've personally slept, eaten, hiked, or ridden with the kids in tow, which also means we've written down the parts that went badly and what we'd do differently.
I truly think Switzerland with kids is one of those magical, bucket-list trips that change your family forever! I hope this guide gives you the confidence to go and have the BEST TRIP EVER!
FAQ
Q: What format is it, and how do I get it?
A: Instant download PDF the moment you pay, plus the link to the live Google Map.
Q: Can I use it on my phone in Switzerland without wifi?
A: Yes! Once you purchase the guide, you can download it directly to your phone, tablet, or computer, so you don’t need Wi-Fi to access it while you’re traveling. We recommend downloading it before your trip so you can easily pull it up on trains, in the mountains, or anywhere you may not have reliable service.
Q: Do I need to print it?
A: No, It is a digital guide! You can access on your phone or any device and save it from there!
Q: My kids are older (or younger!) than yours. Is this guide still a good fit? What age kids is the guide geared toward?
A: This guide is for all families with kids of all ages - including babies, toddlers, tweens and teens! We’ve traveled to Switzerland multiple times when the kids were different ages. My youngest was just 2 and in diapers on our first trip, and our kids now range from 4 to 11. We’ve also traveled with cousins in their teens and did all the same activities! And every Hike, Mountain Coaster, Excursion and Activity we recommend comes with a note if specific ages apply.
Q: We only have 5 days, not 10. Does this work?
A: Absolutely! You don’t need 10 days to use this guide. While our main itinerary is built around the full 10-day trip, we’ve included bonus 5-day and 7-day Switzerland itineraries that show you exactly how we’d shorten the trip without trying to cram too much in. You’ll still get all of the detailed recommendations, activities, restaurants, transportation tips, and family travel advice from the full guide—you can simply choose the itinerary that fits your trip best.
Q: We're going in winter/shoulder season. Is this a summer-only guide?
A: This guide is designed primarily for May through September, when the mountain lifts, hiking trails, playgrounds, and family activities we recommend are most likely to be open. You can absolutely use the guide for planning a trip outside of those months. Our hotel, restaurant, transportation, and destination recommendations will still be helpful—but some of the specific activities and mountain experiences may be closed or operating on a limited schedule. If you’re traveling in winter or early spring, we wouldn’t recommend relying on this as your only planning resource.
Q: Do you update it? Do I get updates free?
A: This is the first edition of our Switzerland guide, created in 2026, and we plan to keep the information as current and helpful as possible as we continue traveling to Switzerland. Because this is our first version, we haven’t finalized exactly how future editions or updates will be delivered. Your purchase includes the complete current version of the guide, but we can’t guarantee that future editions or major updates will automatically be included for free.
Q: How current are the hotel and restaurant recommendations?
A: We built this guide in 2026, and the hotel and restaurant recommendations are based on our own Switzerland trips from 2024–2026. Many are places we’ve personally visited multiple times, so these aren’t recommendations pulled from a generic list online. Of course, restaurants and hotels can change hours, menus, or policies, so we always recommend double-checking the latest details before your trip.
Q: Are the links affiliate links?
A: Yes, some of the links in this guide are affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you book or purchase through them, at no additional cost to you. But we only recommend hotels, tours, activities, and travel resources that we have personally used and loved.
Q: What if I buy it and it we don’t think it’s useful?
A:We created this guide to save you hours of researching, planning, and piecing together your Switzerland trip, and we truly want you to feel like it was worth the purchase. If you don’t feel the guide saved (or will save) you hours of planning, email us within 10 days of purchase and let us know and we’re happy to review your request and, when appropriate, offer a refund.
Q: Can I share it with the friend we're traveling with?
A: We’re so glad you’re planning Switzerland together! Your purchase is intended for personal use by your family/household. If another family is traveling with you and would like their own copy of the guide, we kindly ask that they purchase one separately. As a small family travel business, purchases like these allow us to keep creating, testing, and updating detailed guides like this—and we truly appreciate your support!
