With more than 2,000 games and toys, the Sion toy library ranks among the best stocked in central Valais. At rue du Chanoine-Berchtold 23, the collections cover early years and role-play games, board games, construction and patience games, electronic games, outdoor games, as well as a party and dressing-up section.
Opening times are Wednesdays and Fridays from 15:00 to 18:00, two well-placed afternoons for leaving with everything needed to liven up the weekend. Games can be borrowed for three weeks, a rhythm that leaves time to explore a box before returning it.
The online catalogue, backed by a Click & Collect service, lets you find and reserve what you want before coming in, handy for targeting a specific age or type of game.

LudoGrim
Grimisuat, 1971
Since 2003, LudoGrim has been keeping play alive in Grimisuat thanks to a team of volunteers. At rue de Coméraz 43, families will find more than 1,500 games and toys to hire at low prices, with advice from the toy librarians to track down the right game for every age and every occasion. The toy library opens two late afternoons a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 16:00 to 18:30, as well as the first Saturday of the month from 10:00 to 12:00, a welcome slot for families with busy weekdays. LudoGrim also organises games evenings and recreational afternoons, in particular for school classes from the region: play happily extends beyond simple lending to become a shared moment.
Ludothèque de Nendaz - Lud'Oasis
Basse-Nendaz, 1996
At the Lud'Oasis in Nendaz, play comes in every age bracket: the toy library lends its games to children, teenagers, adults and seniors alike. This intergenerational spirit runs through its programme of activities, with games evenings for teenagers and adults, sessions dedicated to people aged 60 and over, and the "P'tits joueurs" activity, which brings young children together with their parents or grandparents around the table. Based in Basse-Nendaz, the library welcomes borrowers twice a week: Mondays from 14:00 to 16:00 and Wednesdays from 16:30 to 18:30. You leave with games under your arm, enjoy them at home, then come back to swap them for new finds.
Ludothèque Les Branchés
Conthey, 1964
In Conthey, in the heart of central Valais, the Ludothèque Les Branchés offers families in the region a games and toy lending service, modelled on a library applied to play: you choose, you take home, you bring back, then you leave with new boxes. For parents, the formula avoids buying a game that may lose its appeal after a few weeks: you first try it out as a family, and only the true favourites end up joining the shelves at home for good. Children, for their part, regularly refresh their discoveries without the flat overflowing. Practical information and news are published on the toy library's website, www.ludoconthey.ch, a good first step before coming to explore the shelves as a family.
