Leukerbad resort
information: .1411 - 2700 m.
Leukerbad is a beautiful, typically Swiss, village high in
the mountains, situated at the very end of the Dala valley at an altitude
of 1411 m above sea level.
Although the skiing is not extensive, the village
has a special attraction in the form of its thermal baths. As well as the
public baths, which cost about 20 CHF per day, several hotels and guest
houses have their own baths - there are 22 pools in all. You could easily
spend all day relaxing in the pools and never ski an inch!
The Leukerbad thermal springs yield 3.9 million litres
of thermal water at a temperature of 51 Celsius per day. Experience the
largest spa and wellness destination in the Alps in winter, and enjoy a
different kind of apres-ski: After an active day on the slopes of the Torrent
winter sports region, or the attractive alternatives such as cross-country
skiing, sledging and winter hiking in the Gemmi region, you lie back and
relax in the warm thermal water, while the snowflakes dance around you.
Depending on the time of year, Leukerbad offers a wide
range of winter and summer sports including Alpine and cross-country skiing,
snowboarding, bungy jumping, lama trekking, squash, mountain biking, tennis,
golf and many more!
The attractive small village of Inden, with its lovely
church, is about 6 km down the valley from Leukerbad. The two villages are
linked by bus.

more than 50 km of pistes. Most of the runs are best suited to intermediates.

Alps. Cross-country skiers can exercise near the village or at Gemmi 2350
m above sea level.
