Gemmi Pass & Lake Dauben
Up by cable car, across the high plateau, and if you like, hike on to Kandersteg.
Leukerbad 365
Sink into warmth. Breathe clear air.
Thermal water at 1,411 metres, peaks all around and a village that works in summer as well as in winter. Our take on Leukerbad – and what we recommend.
Thermal baths & spa
The water is
just the beginning.
Every day, millions of litres of thermal water at 51 degrees flow from the springs above the village. Spread across several baths, it makes for the largest thermal spa offering in the Alps.
Our tip: early in the morning or after 7 pm – that is when it is quiet, and the view of the Gemmi wall is almost yours alone. Reduced admission is available with the guest card, which we provide with your stay.
