YOUR DAY
Start the day by exploring the historic village of Leukerbad, its narrow alley way streets, its thermal fountains in the town square. Enjoy the superb panoramic view on your ride up to the Gemmipass, 2350 m above sea level. Up here at the Berghotel Wildstrubel enjoy some of the different dishes from the region; raclette, fondue, or rösti along with a glass of local wine. Then, what better way to enjoy this winter paradise and marvel at its beauty than to enjoy a snow-shoe walk or take part in a spot of tobogganing fun. With two tracks to choose from the Gemmiwind hill with a length of 1.5km and the Gemmiblitz hill of 1.2km, you're sure to be rolling around in the snow with laughter. To round off the day we'll take the Gemmibahn back down into Leukerbad to relax and unwind in the lovely hot thermal waters of the Lindner Alpentherme - Europe's largest thermal spa centre. Relax as we take you home at the end of this relaxing day.
