How we verifyFrequently asked questions about Zernez
How much does a sitter in Zernez cost?
Each sitter sets their own rate and agrees it directly with the family: AlpenSitter doesn't set price lists and doesn't take a cut of the payment. Profiles show each sitter's indicative rate, in €.
Can I find someone at short notice?
It depends on which profiles are available in the valley at that moment. In peak season it's worth moving a few days ahead, because the same people get contacted by several families at once.
Are the checks a guarantee?
No. They show exactly what was checked and on what date. Always meet whoever you choose in person before trusting them with your child or your animal.
Tips for Zernez
Practical tips based on altitude, season and the character of the place (1474 m · Lower Engadine). We don't name places we haven't verified: those get added once someone who lives there tells us about them.
Choose the playground by sun exposure, not by distance. In the mountains that's the thing that changes everything: a south-facing park is the only usable one in April and October, and unusable at three in the afternoon in August. A park shaded by larch trees is a lifesaver in summer. If the park is near a road or a water channel, check the fencing before letting children run.
When it rains, a mountain village has few indoor options, and they are almost always the same three: the town library — many municipalities have a children's corner with picture books and nobody minds — the parish hall, often the only large heated space in the village, and the indoor pool if there is one in the municipality or the next one over. It's worth knowing the opening hours before the rainy day, not during it.
Children's activities follow the season and the parish and municipal calendars: summer day camps in July, library initiatives in winter. Ask at the town hall or the parish hall, which remain the two real points of reference here.
At this altitude the shoulder seasons are short: from October the shadows lengthen early and north-facing gardens stay cold. In the afternoon it's worth looking for south-facing spots.
