Kids activities in Gryon

Looking for a simple, joyful mountain outing where each attraction costs a coin or two? At Gryon Parc, in La Barboleuse, your children move from giant minigolf to a little train, electric karting and the Sky-Dive in a wooded, welcoming setting.

And what if the same mountain spot offered your children free swimming in the summer and sledding on snow in the winter? At the Espace de Frience, above Gryon, the alpine lake and the sledding slopes alternate with the seasons for the greatest pleasure of families.

Want a pool outing that pleases both the little splasher and the swimmers in the family? In Villars-sur-Ollon, the pool at the Centre des Sports welcomes you with its large 25-meter indoor pool and its heated outdoor area, in the heart of the Vaud Alps. Perfect for swimming, sliding, and relaxing at altitude, summer or winter.

Want a great day of swimming with the family in the Chablais region of Valais? The Monthey Pool features an Olympic-sized pool, a wading pool for the little ones, and a 75-meter slide, all set on a large lawn. Enough to keep kids and parents busy from morning till evening, summer after summer.

Want to enjoy a warm outing, even when the cold wind blows over Chablais? At Les Bains de Lavey, in Lavey-les-Bains, your children can splash around in naturally warm thermal water, both outside and inside, at the foot of the mountains. The largest thermal center in French-speaking Switzerland quickly becomes a family outing that you'll want to repeat.

Are you looking for a large outdoor pool to spend a whole summer day with your family in Chablais? In Aigle, the pool on Avenue des Glariers features a 50 m pool, slides, a paddling pool, and vast lawns to settle down on. Everything you need to swim, slide, and picnic from morning to evening.

Fancy a real nature adventure just steps from the town centre? In Monthey, the Gorges de la Vièze unfold an educational trail along the torrent, with a tunnel cut into the rock and a footbridge suspended around sixty metres above the void. A short, wild loop, ideal from age 5-6.

Want to take your children on their first real mountain hike? Above the Col des Mosses, Lake Lioson spreads its turquoise waters at 1850 m, in the municipality of Ormont-Dessous. A steady ascent of about 1 to 1.5 hours, a swim for the brave, and a small animal park upon arrival: the perfect alpine outing for families.

What if your children went on a treasure hunt in a real castle? In the heart of the vineyards of Chablais, the Château d'Aigle stands its towers and ramparts above the city. A medieval fortress that houses the Museum of Vine, Wine, and Etiquette, along with a whole program of activities for families.
