The views from Hohsaas and Kreuzboden were some of the best during our time in Saas-Fee! Highlights: While my wife and I enjoyed the beautiful mountain scenery, the children enjoyed the gondola most of all! Once at Hohsaas, the boys enjoyed a "high-altitude" snowball fight, as even in the summer, there was still snow! Our biggest surprise, was finding an alpine bee! It gently landed on my wife's hand and everyone had a good look. Our favorite spot was Kreuzboden (on the way up / down to Hohsaas). Here there was a big playground for the children, and even a peddle powered go-kart. The boys were in heaven! In my opinion, Kreuzboden had some of the best views in the entire valley! Tips: In Kreuzboden, venture out beyond the gondola station / restaurant for the truly awe inspiring views. The small alpine lake was just past the animal farm near the playground. Despite our initial fears, our three and one year old had no problem with the altitude at Hohsaas!

Take the funicular up (every 15min) and enjoy the magnificent views of Bern ... and of the mountain range: on days with good visibility you’ll be able to see the famous Bernese Alps with mountains such as the Jungfrau, Eiger and Moench!

The sunny corner of Zermatt From the train station you will reach the Sunnegga-Rothornvalley station by foot in five minutes. Taking the undergroundn funicular you will ascend to 2,288 metres (7,506 ft) in just four and a half minutes and arrive at Sunnegga, the “sunny corner” of Zermatt. From the spacious sun terrace of the restaurant, you enjoy a wonderful view of the Matterhorn. Wolli playground Leisee At Leisee lake, families can enjoy an adventure playground with attractive barbecue areas and a water feature. Your children can explore the play area while you relax in the idyllic lakeside surroundings and contemplate the amazing views of the Matterhorn. Take a refreshing dip in the lake, or play Robinson Crusoe as you cross the water on a wooden raft attached to a cable that spans the lake. Off to the land of adventure! Kickbiking on Sunnegga The extremely popular kickbikes can be hired at the SunneggaRothorn valley station (helmet included). From there it’s a thrill a minute as you speed downhill to Tuftern and on to Zermatt. There are various restaurants along the way where you can stop for a breather before continuing back to the valley station to return your kickbikes.

Perfect for wonderful pictures of the so called „horu“ or to do the 5-lakes-hike with fantastic mirror-shot possibilities! Visit the Restaurant Chez Vrony if you get the chance!
10. Zytturm Clocktower
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Pefis - Cham, Switzerland
When you visit Zug, this is a must to see. The ancient clocktower called "Zytturm" in Swiss-German is a medivian watchtower to supervise the old town against fire. You have to step up some stairs, but the view is worth it. The Key can be optained against a small deposit from the tourist office at the tower's west side (direction of the old city hall). If closed, the Bistro "Intermezzo" on the Artherstrasse (mainstreet east of the old town), just behind the "Zollhaus".
