A few steps from the legendary Weissmatten slope, in the heart of Gressoney-Saint-Jean, is the Baby Snowpark Sonne, an area on the snow entirely dedicated to children and families. The park is easily accessible on foot and does not require the use of ski lifts, making it ideal even for those approaching the winter mountains for the first time.
The name Sonne, which means “sun” in the Walser language, refers to the area's sunny exposure, which is particularly bright during the day and perfect for spending hours outdoors in a welcoming and safe environment.
The Baby Snowpark Sonne has recently been expanded and offers numerous activities designed for fun and a first approach to snow. Children can play freely or take their first steps on skis on gently sloping slopes, ideal for learning. The ascent is via a magic carpet, a simple and intuitive solution, perfect for little ones and much easier than ski lifts and chairlifts.
Inside the park there are:
- magic carpets for baby skiers and beginners
- a beautiful bobsleigh and toboggan run
- foam games and play structures
- an inflatable castle
- rubber dinghies and snow bikes for fun in the snow.
In the immediate vicinity, there is an equipment rental shop and a bar-restaurant, making the area convenient and complete for a family day out.
The Baby Snowpark Sonne is the ideal choice for those looking for a sunny, safe, and well-equipped place where children can have fun in the snow and learn to ski in a natural and relaxed way, surrounded by the beautiful scenery of Weissmatten.
