Tips

A spectacular location!
Great for an active day out with kids. Watchtower well worth climbing and you can even spot the chamois ☺️😮 Fantastic spot for eating al fresco, although there is many great food places,I personally recommend Riverside Inn & Restaurant, with lovely beer garden and playground is worth a look. TOP-TIP: wear hiking/trail shoes or at least comfy trainers for you and your kiddies 😊
