“Fun for Kids & Co” gives families a full week to explore all that the Engadine has to offer. In addition to half-board accommodation, this package includes breakfast at the Morteratsch demonstration cheese dairy, one 25-minute partial body massage for the parents, as well as unlimited use of the Kronenhof Spa, and for the kids, supervised games and sports, their own restaurant and the hotel’s supervised Krönchen Club for children aged three or over. Prices start from CHF 1,775 (approx £1,075) per adult; from CHF 1,330 (approx £805) for two children up to the age of 14, but please note the children’s price does not include half-board.
