By season in Loèche-les-Bains

Why choose Leukerbad for a family outing?

Leukerbad has the unique character of large mountain spa resorts: you breathe fresh air, enjoy breathtaking panoramas, and easily alternate between effort and relaxation. For families, it's an opportunity to discover an alpine world while remaining close to the amenities of the resort.

For a nice walk suitable for children, the Dala Gorge can be traversed via a walkway that follows the course of the water to the thermal springs. It's a discovery that is as spectacular as it is educational, where one understands where this hot water, which has made the place famous, comes from. Families who love thrills will enjoy the giant scooter descent from Torrent: you take a cable car to enjoy the view, then you race down the mountain paths at your own pace, a classic that delights the more athletic.

Between the coolness of the gorges and the scooter descent, Leukerbad offers everything needed to create an active day at altitude, punctuated by beautiful discoveries. It's the perfect place for a mountain holiday, where adventure and relaxation complement each other throughout the days.
