Our family road trip to Switzerland was EPIC! We hiked to the most stunning lakes, took in the breathtaking scenery and felt like we were on top of the world.

Having breakfast while watching the mist rise from the peaks and the sun hit the valley was the best. But what about the journey there? It’s a few hundred kilometres from the UK so here’s how we managed driving to Switzerland with a child in tow.

There are some incredible places to see in Northern Spain, largely untouched by tourism like its southern counterpart. We’ve embarked on road trips to the Cantabria, Asturias and Aragon regions – the scenery is spectacular. Green Spain has plenty for the family to do and is easily accessible from the UK. We’ve travelled by ferry from the UK with Brittany Ferries (to Santander and to Bilbao) with flights to both destinations and Zaragoza. We’d recommend driving from the UK, or at least hiring a car when you arrive in Spain, so you can make the most of your trip. If you’re looking for inspiration, here are some of the best places to see in Northern Spain.

One of our favourite moments of the day was early morning before any of our fellow campers were up. The three of us would watch the sun work its way down a nearby mountain, hitting the valley just as we devoured the remains of our breakfast. It was a fantastic way to start the day before heading off to explore what the Swiss Alps had to offer.

We’ve had a few road trips to France over recent years. The Pas-de-Calais and Côte d’Opale (Opal Coast) is easy to get to from the UK, either via Eurotunnel or ferry.

We’ve pulled together a round-up of our favoured places along the Opal Coast, some of which make good stop offs if you’re driving through France and neighbouring countries.
