Autumn activities for children in Villars-sur-Ollon

Do your teens dream of mountain thrills? At the top of the Roc d'Orsay, above Villars-sur-Ollon, the Mountain Cart takes them on a 5 km descent aboard a three-wheeled machine, somewhere between a go-kart and a bike. Hanging on tight, they race down 700 metres of vertical drop on the Bouquetin trail.

Looking for a simple, joyful mountain outing where each attraction costs a coin or two? At Gryon Parc, in La Barboleuse, your children move from giant minigolf to a little train, electric karting and the Sky-Dive in a wooded, welcoming setting.

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.

Looking for a gentle encounter with animals, with no ticket or timetable to keep an eye on? In Leysin, the deer park is home to a herd of free-roaming semi-wild deer, visible all year round, free of charge. A perfect nature stop with young children.

Do your children dream of racing down icy channels seated in a big tube? At the Tobogganing Park in Leysin, snow tubing takes place on runs designed each winter by a bobsleigh champion. Thrills guaranteed for the whole family, from age 5.

Do your children dream of climbing trees and soaring on zip lines? The Aigle Adventure Park offers 12 courses for all ages, starting from toddlers, in the heart of a two-hectare forest. A day of outdoor adventure, from spring to autumn.

What if your children could put on skates even in the middle of summer? In Leysin, the sports center of the ice rink is open all year round. Skates, helmets, and even ice scooters are available for rent on-site for an easy and accessible sliding outing.
