Switzerland

Join us to explore the region of Switzerland known as Heidiland, a beautiful world of mountains, valleys, caves and waterfalls. Whether you enjoy walking, adrenaline-filled activities or relaxing with a lakeside view, there is plenty on offer. There are magnificent mountaintops with blue lakes, sun-blackened farmhouses and lively little towns. The cable cars take you to numerous footpaths, crystal clear alpine lakes and vast pastures.

Our accommodation, Juhui Flumserberg, is on a sunny terrace in the mountains above Lake Walen with awe-inspiring views. The prices for accommodation in Switzerland put holidays out of reach for many, so we are pleased to have use of this accommodation in a stunning setting in the mountains. It is a simple, traditional style building but it is well cared for and has been a favourite with Oak Hall guests for many years.

There is plenty to do in the area, including a superb network of walking paths that make it easy to explore, some of which start right by our accommodation. A cable car running up Mount Maschgenkamm goes even higher into the mountains, and another runs down the mountain to Lake Walen.

A toboggan run provides an exhilarating way to see the amazing scenery. A wide range of other activities can be arranged with local suppliers from mountain biking to climbing. The beautiful, clear water is just the right temperature in the summer, and is ideal for swimming or activities on the water. A large indoor swimming pool is also available locally.

Our optional package includes three excursions: a boat trip, a visit to the spa town of Bad Ragaz, and a three-country tour.

For the lake cruise, we travel down the mountain by coach to the lakeside and then cross to Quinten. Here, there is a peaceful settlement that can only be reached by boat. It is a beautiful place to stop at the café for coffee and cake.

The Oak Hall team will be providing us with three meals a day. We invite you to join in the fun and teamwork to assist with laying the tables, for example, on one day of the holiday, making our time in Switzerland remarkably affordable.

Our accommodation has a range of different sizes and styles of room (including bunk beds in some rooms). Rooms for two, three or four people are available. Showers and toilets are located on each floor. A limited number of en-suite rooms for two are available at a supplement of £98 per person.
