30th Leukerbad International Literary Festival from 6.26.–28.2026
Herzlich willkommen, bienvenue and welcome to the Leukerbad International Literary Festival!
Awarded the “Kultur- und Wirtschaftspreis Wallis 2025”!
The Leukerbad International Literature Festival is turning 30! Will you be joining our celebration?
On the last weekend of June 2026, we will be raising a glass in the mountains above Leukerbad to 30 years of literary highlights, thought-provoking discussions and international discoveries. Enjoy three days of thermal bathes, Valais wine and the magic of language.
The program for the 30th edition is set – 44 authors from 19 countries are traveling to Leukerbad – and will be published in all three languages here on the website in a few days. If you don’t want to wait that long, you can browse through the program booklet online here. If you're looking for a gift or want to savor the anticipation for as long as possible, click here for advance ticket sales.
