Nestled at the foot of the Swiss Alps lies the dreamy town of Leukerbad, a place you'll fall in love with at first sight! Today, I'm sharing this comprehensive travel guide to Leukerbad with you. 🏞 Town Highlights: Leukerbad is Switzerland's largest spa resort, boasting 39 million liters of thermal water and over 130 types of spa and leisure activities. This 51°C thermal water flows daily into 22 public and private pools. Not only does it have abundant hot spring resources, but it also retains the original mountain village flavor. Quaint and exquisite Swiss chalets are scattered throughout the town, free from excessive commercial hustle and bustle, allowing people to truly relax. 💆‍♀️ Must-Do Experiences: Soaking in the hot springs is definitely the top priority when visiting Leukerbad! I recommend the Alpentherme & Spa, a modern spa and wellness center built in 1993, complete with indoor and outdoor hot spring pools, as well as Roman-Irish baths. Lying in the outdoor hot spring pool, while admiring the magnificent snow scenery of the Alps and feeling the warm spring water enveloping your body, this experience of ice and fire is simply amazing! 🏂 Outdoor Activities: In addition to the hot springs, the outdoor activities here are also super abundant! Winter is a paradise for ski enthusiasts. The high-altitude skiing at Torrent and the cross-country skiing at Gemmi Pass are both worth a try, with 50 km of slopes and 25 km of cross-country ski trails, allowing you to fully enjoy speed and passion. In summer, you can choose to hike, crossing the Gemmi Pass along the ancient mule track, admiring the picturesque Daubensee lake along the way, and feeling the freshness and tranquility of nature. 🍴 Food Recommendations: The local cuisine is also not to be missed. Cheese fondue is one of Switzerland's signature dishes, and you can taste the authentic flavor in Leukerbad. The rich aroma of cheese, paired with bread cubes, is super satisfying in one bite. There's also the special trout dish, with fresh fish cooked to perfection, tender and delicious. 🏠 Accommodation Suggestions: During the peak season, it is recommended to book hotels or vacation apartments online in advance. If it is the off-season, you can take your time to choose after arriving locally. Many apartments and villas in the town can directly contact the landlord to get the keys, and some hotels may also have special packages, so you may be able to enjoy hotel-style hot springs when booking. 🚗 Transportation Guide: - External Transportation: From Zurich, it takes about 3 hours and 50 minutes by bus; from Geneva, it takes about 2 hours and 50 minutes by bus. - Internal Transportation: There is a bus called "Ring-Jet" every half hour in the town. Tickets are divided into day tickets (CHF 3) and week tickets (CHF 14), which can easily reach the cable car stations of the ski resort and other places. 📌 Travel Tips: 1. Season Selection: Spring and autumn have mild climates, suitable for hot springs and outdoor activities; in winter, you can experience hot springs in the snow and ice, and you can also ski, but the cost may be slightly higher. 2. Hot Spring Attention: The time for soaking in the hot springs should not be too long to avoid physical discomfort; understand the opening hours and charging standards of the hot spring center in advance. 3. Item Preparation: Prepare clothing according to the season, and pay attention to keeping warm in winter; bring swimwear, swimming caps and other essential items for hot springs; if you want to do outdoor sports, remember to prepare the corresponding equipment. 4. Visa and Insurance: You need to apply for a Schengen visa and purchase travel insurance to travel to Switzerland.

Leukerbad is a hot spring city that has developed since the Roman times. Goethe, Maupassant, and Wimpel have all visited this place. It is mainly based on the popular hot spring center (Burgerbad) and the modern Alpine hot spring center (Alpentherme), and there are many attractive facilities. The altitude of the hot springs here is already around 2000 meters, and there are outdoor hot springs. The hot springs are surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The vertical distance from the hot springs to the top of the snow-capped mountains is only two to three hundred meters. You can also swim. Burgerbad and Bad Maison Blanche Hotel are connected together. In addition to indoor and outdoor swimming pools, the Alpine Hot Spring Center (Alpentherme) also has Irish-Roman baths, saunas, and comprehensive facilities such as beauty and health care in Glarong. Such a small town, Leukerbad, also has two cable cars for the convenience of tourists. One is Gammibahene at the foot of the Gemmi Mountain, and the other is Torrent at the other end of the town. There is also the longest and most dangerous climbing route in Switzerland on the Gemmi Mountain, which can challenge the nearly vertical "ladder" of about 3000 meters high on the island. The two directions of the town are also two styles, the alpine skiing of Torrent and the cross-country skiing of Gemmi Mountain Pass: Leukerbad provides tourists with 50 kilometers of snow trails and 25 kilometers of cross-country skiing trails. The biggest advantage of skiing in Leukerbad is that most of the snow trails can be skied in a few days, of course, it depends on everyone's level. But being able to get close to each snow trail is still very fulfilling. It only takes a few minutes to take the cable car from Leukerbad to the Rinderhiitte high mountain station at an altitude of 2350 meters. The comfortable 6-seat Rinderhiitte - Schwalbennest lift will take you to the highest point of the ski area, 2610 meters above sea level. The 9.7-kilometer-long ski trail starts at the Schwalbennest mountain station. Here you can enjoy the magnificent scenery extending to the Rhone Valley and 20 peaks of 4000 meters high in Valais.

| Alps Spa Center. The Alps Spa Center is located in Loikbad, the most important spa resort in the Alps, and is one of the spas in Switzerland. The spa has 22 outdoor and indoor hot spring pools, with about 3 million liters of hot spring water flowing into private and public hot spring baths every day. Moreover, there are mountains in front of the hot springs and lakes behind them. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery while soaking in the hot springs. It's simply too comfortable! The famous 'Roman Bath' in the spa center is recommended. Only one couple can be booked for one period a day, and there are only two waiters. It is the first choice for couples. Basically, it's super tired to soak for a day. There are restaurants and bars in the hotel lobby in the evening. You can choose to have a drink and sweetly enter the dreamland (PS: the skin will become super good after soaking in the hot spring, white and tender) Switzerland's healing scenery is invincible, and outdoor sports are developed. All year round, whether it's the cold winter or the hot summer, whether it's skiers or climbers, you can enjoy warm hydrotherapy after outdoor sports, fully relax and enjoy, work Life Balance is also a feast for the eyes For a short holiday, you can choose a 3-4 day free trip. I hope it can help those who plan to go to Switzerland. Next time, I will continue to deeply tour beautiful Switzerland

One of the first buildings you see when entering Leukerbad. It can be reached by bus, less than 100m down from the bus terminal It is the largest and best value spa in town. It has many heated swimming pools of different shapes. It’s mainly for relaxation, but there’s also an indoor pool for children, a sports pool and two tube water slides on the roof. More than half of the pool is outdoors, which can be fun in the winter when it snows next to the pool. Most pools have a temperature of 35°C, but there are also some hotter Kneipp pools and steam baths. #2024TravelWish ~ Travel to Sicily, Italy

| Interlaken Jungfrau Lauterbrunnen Guide. Speaking of traveling from Paris to nearby countries is really super close, during the holiday in Paris, every day besides eating is shopping, taking advantage of the return to the neighboring Switzerland to see the beautiful snow scene, after all, I am a child from the south. 🚆Transportation: Departing from Paris, you can purchase a European train pass on Ctrip to go to Interlaken, or choose a self-driving journey of about 6 hours, master the time, it is best to depart in the morning and arrive in the evening (if you choose to drive in the snow season, remember to prepare snow chains to prevent the car from skidding) 🏨Accommodation: The town of Interlaken is just a transit point for our itinerary, forming a triangular distribution with Jungfrau and Lauterbrunnen, so the first and second days are staying in local hotels in Interlaken, and the whole journey can use Ctrip to book hotel rooms, which is not much different from the local price, and even much cheaper. 🗻Jungfrau: Choose the golden time in the morning 9:30 to depart, buy a train departing from Interlaken East Station, remember to check the train schedule and time, otherwise you can only wait if you miss the stop halfway. Generally, Jungfrau needs a day's time to play, there are fewer restaurants on the mountain and they are expensive, I personally feel that it is not suitable for my Chinese stomach, so be sure to prepare dry food and water in advance. ♨Lauterbrunnen: The most famous thing here is the must-have hot springs. It takes about two hours to drive from Interlaken. There is a special experience of a train carrying a car on the way, you must try it! The old-fashioned rails shuttle between the snow-capped mountains, you only need to lie in the car and listen to the snow jingling while enjoying the beautiful snow scene.
