End of content - How strenuous are the activities?
Start of content
While in Switzerland, the altitude ranges from 5,276 feet (1,608 meters) above sea level to just over 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) above sea level.
End of content
Most of the trip occurs at 5,000 feet. However, the altitude rises as high as 7,500 feet for a short coach ride on the Simplon Pass.
The trip includes a canopy zip lining experience (size restrictions apply). While nearly all of the trip's featured activities are gentle if enjoyed separately, the full range of activities requires a moderate amount of stamina in order to get the most out of your vacation. - What ages are appropriate for this adventure?
Start of content
While we welcome children ages 5 and up on our Italy & Switzerland trip, we recommend that children be at least 6 years old at the time of travel. This is based on several factors, such as flight time and jet lag, time zone differences in the destination, duration of the vacation, extended hours of daily activity programming, number of internal transports between experiences, potential for extreme temperatures in the summer months, and amount of physical activity (e.g., walking and zip lining). Because each child is different, call a Vacationista at (800) 543-0865† to discuss whether this is the right trip for your kids.
