Leukerbad (Torrent)

Leukerbad (Torrent)
The Torrent ski area above Leukerbad in Valais is a family-friendly snow sports region at around 2,350 m with views of the Valais four-thousand-metre peaks and the Rhone Valley. It offers around 50 km of prepared pistes for all levels, a fun park, and numerous sun terraces and mountain restaurants. It is complemented by the Snowpark Sportarena Erli in the village, which is particularly suited to beginners and children.

Families and Kids

The Snowpark Sportarena Erli in the village is a children's winter playground with three conveyor belts, a Borer tow lift, a pommel lift and a carousel, plus a gentle toboggan run next to the large conveyor belt. The free Kids on Ski programme introduces children aged 3 to 5 to skiing with five half-day lessons, ski hire, ski pass and accommodation. The Swiss Snow Sports School Leukerbad helps children get used to snow and equipment.

Food and drinks

At the Torrent mountain station (2,350 m) there are several dining options: the Rinderhütte Panoramarestaurant with Valais specialities and classic hut dishes, The Edge coffee point with coffee and warm snacks, and the Panoramabar with drinks and snacks on a sun terrace. In the valley, Restaurant Flaschen sits next to the Torrent cableway station, and the Sportarena Restaurant and Thermi Chalet serve food near the snowpark. Further restaurants such as Briand, Weidstübli, Birchen, Bodmenstübli and the Gemmi Lodge 2350 are located around Leukerbad.

Admission fees

Ski tickets at Torrent use a dynamic pricing model: prices are recalculated continuously based on season phase, day of the week, booking date, booking status and, from a certain point, the weather forecast, with identical prices on site and in the webshop. Early booking is cheapest, as prices will not fall again, and there are no last-minute discounts. During the pre-season (5–6 and 12–17 December 2026) ski passes and Winter Cards are discounted by 30%, and multi-day passes covering both pre- and main season days are not available. The Winter Card combines unlimited travel on the Gemmi and Torrent cable cars including use of the ski slopes with one 3-hour thermal spa admission per day.
