Kids activities in Les Haudères

Feeling like having a cozy moment with family, feet in warm water and eyes on the peaks? At the Grands Bains d'Hérémence, right in the heart of Valais, both young and old can splash around all year long in a large outdoor pool and indoor pools, with a children's area just for them starting from 4 years old.

Fancy strolling through one of the most beautiful villages in Switzerland? In Grimentz, blackened wooden raccards, lanes overflowing with geraniums and centuries-old chalets tell of life in the old days. Guided tours reveal the Maison de Grand-Maman, the mill and the cellars of the Vin du Glacier.

Fancy a walk beside a turquoise lake as a family? Above Grimentz, the Moiry dam holds back a high-altitude lake of incredible blue, facing the glacier. The top of the dam can be walked with a pushchair, and marmots often pop their heads out in the evening.

Fancy a playful nature walk for the children in Grimentz? In the Ilot Bosquet forest, an educational trail guided by Sylvette the owl offers 11 wooden stations to learn all about the forest: flora, fauna, games and quizzes. With a big picnic area by the river.

Fancy a playful nature walk starting from Grimentz? The Animal Trail links Grimentz to St-Jean by getting you to guess the mountain animals: footprints to recognise, silhouettes hidden in the forest and riddles on the panels. An easy trail, perfect with children.

Fancy a cool walk along the water as a family? Starting from Grimentz, the St-Jean bisse leads to the lovely Puchotaz waterfall. An easy walk much loved by children, with a shelter equipped with games for a picnic at St-Jean.

Fancy a day of games and thrills at altitude? In summer, at the top of the Grimentz gondola, the Bendolla Bouge park brings together a treetop course, a big air bag, a giant bouncy castle, mountain-bike tracks and wooden games. A big open-air playground, facing the mountains.

Fancy an underground adventure as a family? Above the Val d'Anniviers, the La Lée copper mine can be visited with a guide: 500 metres of galleries to explore. On Sundays, children become 'miners for a day' and extract the copper ore themselves.
