Happyland, amusement park in Valais in Granges

A Sparkling Day in Granges (VS)

Want a big breath of fresh air and child-like sensations? At Happyland, in Granges in Valais, you’ll find the spirit of a human-sized amusement park. Spinning rides, a small roller coaster, water attractions when it’s hot, and areas designed for the youngest. The atmosphere is joyful and relaxed, with families from all over Romandy coming together to share a simple and memorable day.

What Your Children Will Love

We alternate between gentle thrills and bursts of laughter. Children particularly enjoy the spinning rides, accessible small roller coasters, splashing courses, and playful areas to explore. The youngest quickly find their happiness on the mini-height attractions, while the more daring test out the slightly faster circuits. Everything remains friendly and reassuring, with smooth circulation and plenty of spaces to catch their breath.

On the learning side, we observe the development of motor skills, emotional management (a bit of nervousness followed by the pride of daring), patience in queues, and socialization with other children. It’s also an opportunity to talk about safety, rules, and respecting instructions.

What You Need to Know Before You Go

Happyland is suitable from 3–4 years old to enjoy a real choice of attractions. Below that age, you can accompany and enjoy the calm areas, but the offerings are more limited. Plan for half a day to a full day depending on your children's ages and your pace. The activity is mainly dynamic, outdoors, with quieter moments on certain attractions.

Entry is paid, in the form of a daily ticket with unlimited access to the rides. Reservation is not mandatory, but buying your tickets online saves you time and ensures the best pricing of the day. The park is open from spring to autumn, with hours that change according to the season and weather.

The site is relatively flat and stroller-friendly. However, plan to bring a baby carrier for queues or boarding on certain attractions. Public transport access is via Sierre/Siders and then a regional bus; the final walk is short. By car, the nearest highway exit is in Sierre, and parking is available nearby.

In terms of equipment, think of comfortable clothing and closed shoes. In summer, slip in swimsuits/crocs or change clothes for the splashing attractions, caps, and sunscreen. A water bottle, some snacks, and a light jacket depending on the Valais wind will be useful. Safety instructions and minimum sizes are indicated at each attraction, and the staff remains attentive.
