Top Extreme Sports in Switzerland

My advice is to visit on weekdays, especially around 3 PM. It gets super crowded on weekends, and you might struggle to get some good runs in.

I recommend wearing some good knee pads. I saw a few beginners taking a spill, and it would save you some pain and frustration later!

Check out their schedule ahead of time for kids' pony rides. I was lucky but I saw families who missed out because they didn’t plan right!

If you're planning to ride, wear sturdy shoes. I made the mistake of wearing sandals and spent half the time uncomfortable. Trust me, you'll want proper footwear!

Check the weather a few days in advance; conditions can change quickly. I got lucky, but others were stuck with flat winds. Better to plan ahead!

Try to start your climb around 8:00 AM. It gets crowded later, and starting early means more peaceful climbing and better photos without the crowds in your shots!

I think taking a beginner's lessons in the morning is a smart move—it helped me get my bearings, plus instructors know the best routes!

If you're renting gear, check out the shops in Leukerbad rather than on the mountain—they're cheaper and have better options

i recommend arriving at torrent by 9 am to beat the crowd; trust me, the first runs are glorious with fresh powder!

I suggest you get there early, like around 8 am. The views are stunning and there's less crowd, which makes for better pics and a more chill vibe.

I think bringing a change of clothes is essential—those bubbles can get a bit wet and muddy! I wasn’t prepared and ended up feeling a bit uncomfortable after my turn.

I suggest booking your sessions in advance online; it saved me a lot of time waiting in line! Plus, there are sometimes discounts for early birds.
