YOUR DAY
Travel deep into the Valaisian Alps to the village of Leukerbad. The Leukerbad ski area (Torrent) offers more than 50 km of groomed pistes, some of which have seen world-cup races, providing a wealth of opportunities for pursuing one's favourite sporting activity. Challenge yourself on the largely intermediate to advanced slopes and be sure to stop and enjoy the scenic views of the four thousand meter high peaks of the Valais Alps. After an active day on the ski runs lie back in the outdoor pool and relax in the warm thermal water and let the snow flakes dance all around you: the perfect way of experiencing winter in Leukerbad!

ABOUT THE AREA
You'll find everything your heart desires in Leukerbad. It doesn't matter whether you're sports mad, a wellness fan, in search of peace and quiet, or more family oriented. Situated at 1411 m above sea level and surrounded on three sides by the fascinating and awe-inspiring Valais mountains, Leukerbad is the largest thermal spa and wellness resort in the alps. The 3.9 million litres of thermal water that flows daily into the private and public baths of Leukerbad comes out of the source at a temperature of 51° degrees Celsius. The thermal water comes from the mountain region called Torrent, where the water seeps 2500 m into the ground before it comes out at Leukerbad.
