The children's club provides professional child and baby daycare every day between 9 am and 7 pm. A varied entertainment program (children's club , game evenings, crafts, etc.) is also offered. Many activities are offered for children and adults alike, including river crossings, rappelling, climbing, bouldering, campfires with barbecue, building an igloo in winter, hikes, etc. Bicycles are also available (free of charge for children, at a small fee for adults). In winter an easy ski slope and a mini ski school are available. Ski equipment for children is included in the price. There is also a ski rental (also for cross-country skis and skates). Sleds can be rented free of charge. Baby monitors, strollers, back carriers, bottle warmers, baby bathtubs etc. are available for the youngest guests.
