Waterpark Alpamare

The Alpamare in Pfäffikon on Lake Zürich is the largest indoor water park in Switzerland and a pioneer among the country's leisure pools. Across some 25,000 square metres, 12 spectacular water slides with a combined length of 2,100 metres, four pools and a generous wellness and fitness area await. The Alpamare sits right next to the Seedamm Centre and is roughly 30 minutes from Zürich by car.

12 Slides — from Gentle to Record-Breaking

The slides are the heart of the Alpamare. The legendary Balla Balla sends riders 261 metres through a black tube and an open red half-pipe — a European record. The Jungle Run, Switzerland's longest enclosed racing slide, features two parallel tracks of 220 metres each. Thriller delivers sound effects and dizzying light shows in dark passages, while the Tornado all but drops you into the abyss. For families, the Mini Canyon, Triple Slide and Cresta Canyon are ideal. Apart from the Jungle Run (ages 8+), the slides have no age or height restrictions.

Four Pools for Every Mood

The wave pool in its tropical jungle setting produces waves over 1.20 metres high every 30 minutes beneath real palm trees. The Alpa Therme at 32 °C offers massage jets and underwater music. In the Rio Mare — a 100-metre-long current channel at 30 °C — you drift along or swim against the flow. The brine pool at 36 °C with jets and loungers is reserved for guests aged 16 and over.

Toddler Paradise on Lake Zürich

For the very youngest from zero to six, a 200-square-metre toddler paradise features a paddling pool, waterfall, octopus, water pistols, tipping buckets and the Triple Slide. Seating surrounds the area and a terrace offers views of Lake Zürich. Two restaurants provide refreshments: the Restaurant Rio with a conservatory and lake views, and the self-service Alpagrill with grill and buffet.

The sauna landscape comprises three saunas: a Finnish sauna at 80–90 °C with regular infusions, a Finnish experience sauna with seasonal special infusions and a bio-sauna at around 50 °C — ideal for beginners. The sauna area is divided into separate ladies' and gentlemen's sections, and all saunas are textile-free except during the Family Sauna.

Steam Bath with Rituals

The steam bath offers individual rituals such as salt peeling, mocha peeling, oriental, relax and oil baths, bookable on site. A cold-water plunge pool with cascading showers provides cooling. A large outdoor sauna terrace and a rest room are available to all sauna guests.

Family Sauna Once a Month

On the first Sunday of every month from 10 to 13, the Family Sauna offers a sauna experience for the whole family with ceremonies in the steam bath and saunas. The wellness and fitness area is otherwise reserved for guests aged 16+ and available for a surcharge of CHF 6.00.

The wellness menu includes classic massages, hot stone massages, body peelings and wraps. Massages are bookable in 30-, 60- or 90-minute slots. Special couple's packages include treatment, admission, a drink, snack and bathing accessories.

Fitness Included

A fitness centre with modern strength and cardio equipment complements the offering. Classes range from Pilates and Powerplate Circle to Aqua Zumba. Treatments are booked by phone or at the wellness counter.
