Dear all, has anyone experience of taking a 30 month old to Zermatt. I’ve been to Zermatt a lot but never with grandchildren. Be interested in any experiences. Thanks in anticipation

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Forgot to say he’s quite a boisterous boy.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thought that was for a 21 year old and a 2 year old for a minute, the spacing in the title is a bit ambiguous.

We took all of ours to Zermatt since the youngest was 3 months old (she is now 20!). You have been before so you obviously know the village layout and so on. We used Kinderparadies for childcare https://www.fea-zermatt.ch/
We weren’t lucky enough to have willing grandparents to help out but the Kinderparadies was great, run by a Scottish lady (then) and it had a great indoor soft play area etc. Obviously given the age of the youngest now it’s been a while since we needed their services so can’t offer any recent experiences and in the meantime the owner has retired and the business seems to have new owners, but might still be worth checking out?
Location wise, as you come out of the main station, turn left and it’s 100 metres or so down the road.
Otherwise there is a link in the Zermatt website to Alpine nannies if that’s more what you had in mind? Some hotels can also arrange childcare if you ask them directly.
If your question is more how to amuse small ones in Zermatt then the Wolli area at Sunnegga and going up on the train to Riffelberg is always good, there are swimming pools of course as well.
I was always told it wasn’t recommended to take under 3’s up to the top at Klein Matterhorn due to the altitude, so we never did, but that’s a personal decision for you and your family.
In short, we never found we or the children got bored!
Hope that helps…

@scotsgirl, thanks. Yes I’m asking for my eldest daughter, and my youngest will god willing have a 3 month old when we go ( imminent). No issues with altitude in Zermatt and say up to Riffleberg?
