Gstaad Palace
Gstaad, Saanenland, Switzerland
This fairy-tale castle above Gstaad has hosted generations of families, and it shows. Palace Kids keeps five-to-twelves busy with pony rides, baking with the chef and meetings with St Bernards, while the Christmas-to-New-Year 'Very Important Kids' parties are the stuff of childhood legend. Gstaad's gentle Wispile slopes are close, and Geneva is a comfortable drive away.
