Activities for children in St-Luc
What if your children walked all the way to Pluto? In St-Luc, a village perched in the Anniviers valley, it's possible: the Chemin des Planètes reproduces the solar system to scale along a panoramic trail, between the observatory and the alpine pastures. A brilliant idea that has made the family reputation of the resort.
Hanging at 1,650 meters above the valley, St-Luc cultivates the authenticity of Anniviers: old chalets sun-kissed, narrow streets, and a funicular that lifts visitors up to the heights of Tignousa.
Here is our selection of activities for children in St-Luc.

Tignousa Planet Park and Planet Path in St-Luc
Above St-Luc, a playful walk takes your children from planet to planet, with scaled-down models, a grand panorama, and easy access by funicular.
View listingWhy choose St-Luc for a family outing?
Up there, at the arrival of the funicular, the Planet Park of Tignousa welcomes families with its games and astronomical-themed installations: you can climb, slide, and play while facing a breathtaking panorama of the Anniviers peaks. It's the ideal starting point for the Chemin des Planètes, this unique hike where each step represents millions of kilometers — from the Sun, near the observatory, to the far reaches of the solar system.
The formula is a hit with children: walking becomes a space journey, each planet a destination to reach, and the lesson in astronomy is effortlessly absorbed, at over 2,000 meters altitude.
With its funicular, its old chalets, and one of the purest skies in Switzerland, St-Luc transforms a simple day in the mountains into a scientific and contemplative adventure. Stars in your eyes, both literally and figuratively.
