The family holiday weeks in Davos offer relief for families with children and young people with a life-limiting illness and their healthy siblings. The offer is aimed at families living in Switzerland or Liechtenstein. On various dates throughout the year, usually during the summer and autumn holidays, afflicted families can enjoy a week’s “holiday in the mountains”.
During the holiday weeks, sick children are cared for by qualified nurses if necessary. A team of local volunteers supports the children’s hospice foundation so that the whole family can benefit from this holiday week to the fullest.
Here you can find the latest feedback of participationg families from 2024.
From pilot project to a complete programme!
Since it was founded in 2014, the Davos Family holiday weeks have been a great success. What was launched as a pilot project has quickly established itself as a permanent programme offered by the foundation. Affected families are cordially invited to take part in the family holiday weeks and submit an expression of interest, which we can use to start the assessment process. We are delighted with every family that can be considered.
Note: The vacation weeks in summer 2025 are fully booked. There is a waiting list. We still have places available in fall 2025.
