Amnéville: Animal Experiences, Forest, Indoor Skiing and Thermapolis

Amnéville brings together a wide variety of leisure activities: animal experiences at the aquarium and zoo, forest trails in the Cité des Loisirs, indoor skiing at SnowWorld and thermal waters at Thermapolis. When choosing a hotel in Amnéville, it can help to first decide what you want to focus on during your stay. Would you like to see animals, walk in the forest, ski on an indoor slope or use thermal pools? Each local attraction has a different focus, providing a concrete basis for your decision.

Aquarium and zoo: two perspectives on animals

The Amnéville Aquarium displays more than 400 fish species in 70 aquariums. These figures describe two different aspects of the attraction: the variety of species and the number of aquariums. Both may change as the collections develop. If the aquarium is a key part of your visit, you should take this changeability into account when planning.

The Zoo d’Amnéville displays 2,000 animals; the number of animals on display may change. Jurassic expédition also features 70 dinosaurs. The availability of this exhibition may also change. This makes it possible to view the zoo’s animal collection and the dinosaur area as distinct reasons to visit.

Forest trails and courses

The Cité des Loisirs is located in the heart of a 400-hectare forest; walking trails run through the Bois de Coulange. The focus here is on the forest and its trails. France Aventures Amnéville is a multi-activity park that spans more than 6 hectares of forest in the heart of Amnéville. It has 13 high-ropes courses of increasing difficulty and 173 stations on adventure courses. The figures refer to different things: 13 is the number of high-ropes courses, while 173 is the number of stations on the courses. This clearly distinguishes the options described: walking trails in the Bois de Coulange on the one hand, and course activities at France Aventures on the other. Consider which of these types of activity best suits your planned stay.

Indoor skiing at SnowWorld

SnowWorld Amnéville has France’s longest indoor ski slope, measuring 620 metres. There are also two ski slopes intended for beginners and experienced skiers. The 620 metres refers to the length of the longest slope; the two slopes are also classified by experience level. If indoor skiing is a firm part of your plans, check the latest operating details before you travel.

Thermal waters and bathing areas

Thermapolis offers thermal pools indoors and outdoors. There are also massage jets, hot and cold baths, warm marble surfaces, hammams and saunas. The focus is therefore on thermal waters and the listed bathing and heat facilities—unlike walking trails, courses or indoor skiing. If you are planning a wellness break, these specific facilities may be important when making your choice.
