A sauna session followed by a dip in the water (or the other way around of course) is a great way to relax after a long day in the snow. The swimming pool is not very large, but clean and neat and good fun for children and adults alike.

Both the pool and the sauna are located at the bottom of the La Tzoumaz-Savoleyres gondola.

The thermal baths of Saillon and Ovronnaz are only a 20-30 minutes’ drive away from our chalet. Both have heated open air pools and spa facilities, which makes them a good choice to spend a snowy day or to simply refuel your batteries.

More information can be found on the websites of Bains de Saillon and Bains d’Ovronnaz.

Once the snow has melted, La Tzoumaz becomes a paradise for hikers. Whether you prefer an easy walk along the bisses (old water channels built by the farmers to irrigate the pastures) around the village or a challenging alpine hike to the picturesque Lac des Vaux, La Tzoumaz has it all. With your guest card, you can also take the gondola to Savoleyres (and on to Mont Fort if you wish) for free.

More hiking tips can be found on the website of La Tzoumaz.

With over 200 km of enduro trails, 500 km of marked forest trails and a bike park (in Verbier), the surroundings of La Tzoumaz offer a wide range of activities for biking enthusiasts. If riding up the mountain is not your thing, simply let the gondola take you and your bike up to Savoleyres.

Bicycles (including e-mountain bikes) can be rented at Perraudin Sports on the central square.

Lac Souterrain is the largest natural underground lake in Europe. Located near Sion, it is only a 30 minutes’ drive away from La Tzoumaz. It is possible to explore the crystal clear lake by boat.

Definitely worth a visit if you have a sense for unusual locations and natural phenomena!

There is one main reason why Swiss wines are not widely known outside of the country: We like to keep the best things to ourselves. The Valais is home to amazing wines, many of which are made from traditional grape varieties. All villages along the road between Martigny and Sion (and further up the valley) have local wineries, many of which allow you to taste - and of course buy - their wines (e.g., Les Fils Maye in Riddes). Try the fruity Heida/Païen (white), the tangy Fendant (white) or the full-bodied Humagne Rouge (red), just to name a few. La Tzoumaz also has its own small wine producer, who makes very decent wines.
