đ SWITZERLAND KIDS: TRAIN TIP
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS
Julian De Rosa
Switzerland
One of the best things about traveling Switzerland with kids? The trains are incredibly family-friendly.
đ» Look for the Family Zone (in-train playground)
Many Swiss trains have a dedicated family carriage where kids can play, climb, draw, and move around during the journey.
đ How to find it
Open the SBB app and look for the đ» bear symbol when checking your train. You can also spot the bear symbol on the platform displays, showing exactly where the family carriage will stop.
đïž No reservation needed
Just hop on and find a seat. If you're traveling during busy holiday periods, arriving a little earlier can help you get seats together.
đšâđ©âđ§âđŠ Why families love it
Instead of trying to keep kids quiet for hours, they can play and explore while you sit back and enjoy the views of mountains, lakes, and villages passing by.
đĄ Local tip: Most tourists have no idea these family carriages exist. If you're traveling Switzerland with kids, look for the đ» symbol, it can completely change your train experience.
