3 activities to enjoy in Bex when the weather is not on your side

The weather can sometimes be unpredictable and discourage us from stepping outside. Yet it is also an opportunity to discover the charming village of Bex from a different angle! Indoor and sheltered activities allow you to experience the destination in a new way, without being affected by gloomy skies.

A fascinating educational activity?

Have you ever had the chance to explore the Salt Mines of Bex?
This network of underground galleries, with the oldest traces dating back to the 16th century, offers an “Explosive” visit during renovation works — unusual and truly out of the ordinary. Audiovisual and tasting activities promise a few surprises and will leave you with a unique memory… Head into the mines!

Even when it is cold outside, the temperature inside remains stable at 18°C all year round. Thanks to the humidity in the galleries, a feeling of warmth embraces you as soon as you enter the rock-carved tunnels. So why not take advantage of an uncertain, or even downright rainy day, to discover this underground gem while learning something new? You will stay perfectly sheltered from the elements — although dressing appropriately is still recommended!

A fun and skill-based activity?

Having fun even when it rains? It is possible!
A unique and original activity in Bex, axe throwing is offered by Axers, who will introduce you to this new kind of sporting leisure activity. Through a series of mini-games with different objectives, you will improve your skills and enjoy a safe, supervised activity lasting one to two hours.

For the more committed or curious participants, it is also possible to dive deeper into this authentic experience by discovering other axes — and even exclusive objects you will not find anywhere else. Whether with family, friends or colleagues, do not wait any longer to take up the challenge and test your accuracy!

A relaxing wellness activity?

Looking for a moment of relaxation to take care of yourself?
Nothing beats a few hours in the breathtaking setting of the thermal centre of Lavey-les-Bains! The spring feeding the baths, known as the hottest in Switzerland, emerges from the ground at a temperature of 62°C, offering soothing water for a peaceful break in an exceptional environment.

The pools, recently renovated and modernised, along with the various areas — hammams, saunas, polar zones and relaxation spaces — welcome you and invite you to gently unwind in this calming aquatic setting, leaving the gloomy weather behind. This cocooning moment can be shared as a couple, with friends, and even with family if children are over 4 years old… but above all, with yourself.
