Experience Leukerbad - relaxed living with the family
Bad weather in Valais with children – stay relaxed, even when it rains
Bad weather is part of family holidays.
The good news: In Valais – and especially in Leukerbad – a rainy day doesn't have to be a lost holiday day.
Many activities work regardless of the weather or can be adapted spontaneously. This takes the pressure off the situation – for children as well as for parents.
Why bad weather in Valais is less stressful than you might think
In Valais, many places and activities are close together. This is a great advantage, especially in rain or snow.
What families particularly appreciate in bad weather:
short distances
flexible daily schedule
Alternatives without lengthy planning
Escape routes when energy levels drop
This eliminates the pressure to "have to do something anyway".
Warmth and relaxation – especially important in bad weather
Thermal baths are often the best solution when it's raining or snowing: warm, quiet and suitable for all age groups.
Children can:
splashing
move
to relax
Parents relax – and yet the day still feels like a holiday.
Stay active – even without sun
The sports arena isn't just for sunny days. Especially in changeable weather, you can be active here for a short or longer period – depending on your mood and energy level.
Various ice and ball sports, as well as a fitness studio, bouldering hall and a bouncy castle await you even if the weather outside is less pleasant.
Being outdoors – but without pressure
Bad weather doesn't necessarily mean staying indoors. Often, the following is enough:
a short walk
fresh air
then heat again
Many winter walks around Leukerbad can be cancelled or shortened if the weather changes.
Bad weather days in the holiday apartment – perfectly okay
Sometimes the best plan is: no plan.
Especially with children, bad weather days should be enjoyable. Therefore, it's important to have enough activities for young and old in the holiday apartment.
Typical for such days:
playing together
read
cook
relax
