Burgerbad Spa Complex
A very popular attraction in the town of Leukerbad is the Burgerbad Spa Complex. The entry ticket includes access to more than 10 pools. Among them are one with the appearance of ice cubes in water and another situated in a rock cavern-type of room. It is quite cold there. The other pools tend to be warmer. There is a wide variety of children's facilities and play equipment, while the water slides are fun for adults too. The spa also offers massages, salon services and food. Burgerbad ensures an affordable and relaxing experience. If you choose to lounge in one of the outdoor pools, you will relish the backdrop that the Alps provide.
The Gemmiweg path
The Gemmiweg path was hewn in the rock during the first half of the 18th century. It runs along a rock with an elevation drop of 600 m, so if you're afraid of heights you can pass this attraction by. You can reach the Gemmi pass via cableway (5 min ride). From there a bridle-path will take you along the shores of Lake Dauben and down to Kandersteg, located in the Bernese Highlands.
