Leukerbad
Intro
An ideal mix of bathing culture and mountain scenery – this is Leukerbad. At the largest thermal spa resort in the Alps, you can enjoy fresh air, impressive views and a wide range of sporting facilities. Revitalise yourself in the mineral-rich thermal water after a day spent out in nature.
This is Leukerbad
Leukerbad (or in French: Loèche-les-Bains) is a municipality in the southwest of Switzerland, in the canton of Valais. The winter sports and wellness resort is a popular destination because of its altitude and its thermal springs.
Discover Leukerbad
Leukerbad offers you thermal baths and wonderful nature. You’ll experience this on a tour towards the Dala Gorge. The water into which you will later immerse yourself bubbles out of the rock here. Further along the Dala is the idyllic Majingsee lake. The cable car will take you up to the Torrenthorn or the Gemmi Pass. Or you can head towards the Rhône Valley to discover the mountain villages of Albinen and Inden with their wooden chalets as well as the pretty wine village of Varen.
The thermal baths of Leukerbad
The Leukerbad Therme is the largest thermal baths in the Alpine region. In the Valais Alpentherme and the Therme51, you can also bathe in soothing thermal water, which is enriched with minerals deep in the mountain before it bubbles to the surface. After an active day, let yourself be pampered in the indoor and outdoor pools, in the Roman-Irish bath and in the sauna village.
Winter sports in Leukerbad
Leukerbad has a varied winter sports offering for you: around the Torrentalp and Rinderhütte, demanding skiers and snowboarders will be sure to get their money’s worth. The Snowpark Sportarena offers families with children fun in the snow. The fast-paced toboggan runs “Gemmiwind” and “Gemmiblitz” down to the Daubensee lake are truly exciting. There are also well-groomed winter hiking trails and a cross-country ski trail across the frozen Daubensee.
Around Leukerbad
Leuk, situated below Leukerbad, is well worth the trip. Towers and vines characterise the silhouette of this pretty small town. The castle, renovated by star architect Mario Botta, and its glass dome, is well worth seeing. From here, you have a view of the Pfyn-Finges Nature Park, known for its winegrowing villages, its wetland landscape and the largest pine forest in the Alps.
