Little beginners and experienced swimmers alike find their place there, sheltered from the Valais weather.

In the heart of the old village of Lens, the Musée Le Grand Lens tells the story of life in the past in Valais. A calm and curious visit to awaken your children to the objects and tales of the past.

Between Sion and Sierre, glide silently over the largest natural underground lake in Europe. A guided boat ride, cool and magical, perfect for curious children.

Are you looking for a place to cool off with your family during your vacation in Crans-Montana?

On holiday in Crans-Montana and the weather turns? The Cinécran, in the heart of the resort, shows the big films of the moment. It is the ideal family back-up activity, in the mountains, when it rains or snows.

Want an outdoor outing, free and right in the center of the resort? The Ycoor playground in Crans-Montana features around thirty wooden games by the Ycoor lake: swings, slides, zip line, and large sand pits, just steps away from the cafes and the ice rink.

Fancy a round of minigolf in the mountains? In Vercorin, an 18-hole course awaits families in the heart of the resort, a stone's throw from the cable-car arrival. A simple, friendly activity, perfect between two walks, for young and old.

Fancy an easy, change-of-scenery walk above Sion? In Anzère, the Pétoli Tour is a 4.5 km loop that follows the bisse de Sion before heading into the forest, with a magnificent view over the plain and Crans-Montana. A free walk, perfect with children, all year round.
