Autumn activities for children in Saint-Maurice

A cultural outing that speaks to children: basilica, Treasure, and archaeological remains in the heart of Saint-Maurice (VS). Calm, beautiful, and inspiring, in all weather.

Between cliffs and abbey, the Grotto of the Fairies in Saint-Maurice offers a cool and mysterious walk, perfect for curious children. A nature outing that truly changes things up.

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.

Looking for a swimming outing that won't be affected by rain or cold in Champéry? The covered pool at the Palladium welcomes families in the heart of the Portes du Soleil, featuring a large heated pool and areas designed for children. A safe bet for splashing around and swimming all year round.

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.

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.

What if you offered your children a dive into a dizzying canyon, on wooden walkways clinging to the rock? In Vernayaz, just a stone's throw from the train station, the Gorges du Trient plunge into a narrow crevice where the torrent roars. A short, refreshing, and spectacular visit, perfect in the height of summer.

Want to see an impressive natural spectacle without walking for hours? In Vernayaz, the Pissevache waterfall cascades from nearly 116 meters right by the road, just a stone's throw from Martigny. A refreshing and free stop, perfect for breaking up a trip in Valais and dazzling the kids.

And what if you took your children on a little train to dive into the heart of the mountain? At the Bex Salt Mines, the oldest salt mine still in operation in Switzerland, you can explore vast galleries hand-carved at a constant 18 °C. An unforgettable underground adventure.

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.
