Torrent (Rinderhütte)
Torrent
A ski and hiking mountain on the east side of town. A cable car climbs to the 2,300-meter Rinderhütte, with panoramic views of the Matterhorn and the Valais peaks.
Torrent is Leukerbad's main ski area. A cable car runs from town directly to Rinderhütte at about 2,300 meters. The pistes total about 50 km, mostly blue and red runs, suited to families and intermediate skiers, and the area gets plenty of sunshine. The mountaintop viewing platform offers views of the Matterhorn, Weisshorn and Dom. In summer you can hike the panoramic trails, visit high mountain lakes, or follow high mountain paths down to Albinen, taking the cable car up and walking down.
Opening hours
