This alpine playground is located on the Sunnegga Paradise mountain area above Zermatt.

The playground has climbing structures, slides, water play and other amusements. It's located next to the pretty Leisee lake, which reflects the Matterhorn peak on clear days. There is a picnic area with tables and fire pits.

When to go: mid June through early October

How to get there

You can reach this playground directly with the Sunnegga funicular train - Vispastrasse 34, 3920 Zermatt, a 5 min walk from the main Zermatt train station.

💡We typically visit the Sunnegga playground after doing a hike in this area. We like the Zermatt Flower Trail and Riffelalp 3 Lake Trail, both of which end at Sunnegga. But the 5 Lake Walk (11km) and short Marmot theme trail for kids are also popular choices.

Tickets

In most cases, you need a return ticket on the funicular from Zermatt to Sunnegga.

You get a 50% discount with discount with Swiss Travel Pass and Swiss Half Fare Card. Children under 9 ride free with a parent. Children 9-15 are 50%, under age 9 and dogs ride free.

All mountain railways on the Sunnegga mountain are included in the Zermatt Peak Pass.

If you are also hiking in the area, you may also need a ticket for the Blauherd gondola to reach those trails.

💡With older kids, you may want to ride the "Trotti" scooters down the mountain instead of the funicular. In this case, you only need a one way ticket for the funicular.
