Nestled in the picturesque Muotathal valley in the canton of Schwyz, the Husky Lodge is a unique and family-friendly destination in Central Switzerland. Surrounded by mountains and nature, it’s the perfect spot for a relaxed outing with children, animal lovers, and outdoor enthusiasts. The lodge combines adventure, good food, and cozy accommodations in a charming alpine setting.
Meeting the Huskies
One of the main highlights of a visit to the Husky Lodge is, of course, the huskies themselves. Families can visit the husky kennels free of charge. The Husky Lodge also offers a variety of paid activities such as guided snowshoe tours, sled dog courses, and husky walks through the valley. For detailed information about tours, excursions, and pricing, visitors can check the official website.
Dining at Restaurant Husky Lodge
After spending time outdoors, families can relax and enjoy a meal at the Restaurant Husky Lodge. The restaurant features both indoor and outdoor seating, with large panoramic windows offering views of the surrounding landscape. The menu highlights fresh regional ingredients and traditional Swiss cuisine. For younger guests, there’s a dedicated kids’ menu with favorites like pasta, chicken nuggets, and schnitzel. Baby chairs are available, and coloring sheets and crayons help keep children entertained while waiting for their meals. Reservations can be made online through the website.
Hotel and Arrival
The Husky Lodge is not only an attraction but also a hotel, offering a variety of accommodation options for guests who wish to stay overnight. The property features charming wooden huts that accommodate families or couples, as well as traditional single and double hotel rooms. Upon arrival, visitors first encounter the main hotel building, which houses the lobby and a small gift shop. The restaurant and husky area are located toward the back of the property. Convenient parking is available right next to the huskies, making it easy for families traveling by car.
Conclusion
The Husky Lodge in Muotathal is a wonderful place for a family day trip in Switzerland. We enjoyed meeting the huskies and dining at the restaurant, which offered delicious local food in a cozy setting. Although we haven’t yet stayed overnight at the hotel or joined one of the husky excursions—our youngest is still a bit too small—the visit was already a memorable experience for the kids. We’re looking forward to returning in the future to take part in one of the guided husky activities as a family.
