Winter walk on Lomperaweg with children – quiet, magical and relaxed

The Lomperaweg is, for us, one of the quietest and most atmospheric winter trails around Leukerbad .

A snow-covered forest, muffled sounds, and that special peace where you feel that for a moment the path belongs entirely to your own family.

This winter walk is ideal for days when it's not about distance or destination – but about being out and about together.

Why we recommend the Lomperaweg trail with children in winter

The Lomperaweg trail takes on a unique atmosphere in winter. The forest appears tranquil, almost fairytale-like – and that's precisely what makes this walk so valuable, especially for families who want to consciously slow down.

What we particularly like:

A peaceful winter forest landscape without any hustle and bustle.
Muffled noises – ideal for switching off
Hardly any distractions, you're often almost alone on the road.
Plenty of space for free play in the snow
Depending on snow conditions: return trip by sled possible

This isn't about how far you get, but about how the journey feels.

Space for free play and imagination

Children often experience the Lomperaweg trail very differently than adults:

Snowdrifts become castles
Tracks in the snow lead to little adventures
the forest becomes a world of its own

It is precisely this openness without a fixed destination that makes the walk so relaxing – nobody has to move on if it's nice right now.

Practical tips for families

A baby carrier is ideal for smaller children.
A sled is worthwhile for the return journey when snow conditions are good.
Pack a change of gloves and warm clothes
Bring your own food and drinks – plan a picnic.
Consciously allow yourself breaks – the forest invites you to linger.

Easily accessible from our holiday apartment

The starting point at the spa can be reached in about 10 minutes on foot from our holiday apartment Alpine Siesta.

This makes the trip particularly uncomplicated – no car, no planning, just set off.

Especially in winter, this proximity is a great advantage because you can adapt the walk to the weather, mood and energy of the children at any time.
