When you're looking for accommodation, you need to take a number of criteria into account. These include the amount of rent and local services. The profile of the household is also important. Which cantons are the best places to rent a family home?
Are you looking for a family rental? In the south-west of Switzerland, the canton of Valais stands out first and foremost for its privileged geographical location. Thanks to its natural heritage, it is a very attractive tourist destination. Examples include Crans-Montana, the Goms valley and the Saint-Bernard region.
It has a dynamic economy, particularly in the hotel, watchmaking and energy production sectors. Compared with other cantons, the cost of living is relatively low. This is an incentive to find a family-friendly place to swim. Thanks to a dense transport network, it is possible to take advantage of the proximity of major conurbations (Sion, Martigny, Monthey…) and settle in a mountain village.
With the presence of Lausanne, Yverdon-les-Bains and Montreux on its territory, the canton of Vaud also has a notable economic appeal. Given the French border, it remains a popular destination for Swiss nationals and cross-border commuters. As a result, finding a family flat takes time and multiple visits.
Local services and transport networks help to improve quality of life. There are also plenty of ideas for family outings in the canton of Vaud. Visit the Chillon Castle or the Chaplin Museum in Corsier-sur-Vevey, for example. With a unique panorama of the mountains, the quays of Montreux offer a soothing stroll along Lake Léman.
Fribourg, Tavel, Bulle, Romont… The canton of Fribourg comprises more than a hundred communes, spread over seven districts. Whether you're looking to rent a family flat or even a house, the property market is as affordable as the cost of living. On the employment front, the cantonal economy is making its mark in the care and medical sector, education and tertiary services.
When it comes to family outings in the canton of Fribourg, there are several ideas to choose from. From Romont, you can organise a bike trip across the fields to the Chavanettes waterfalls. Not far from the Schwarzsee (or Black Lake), the natural environment offers outdoor activities for adults and children alike. For example, a zip-line descent or a toboggan run.
