Thermal baths in Switzerland

List of thermal baths in Switzerland. If you are a hot-spring fan you can use it as your checklist ;-)

My favourites are:

  • Vals – excellent both in terms of the surroundings as well as the pools themselves. I really like the “echo well”, thermal pools and the outdoor pools with amazing views. The building itself built in granite is a masterpiece. Note: you need to make a reservation before hand (call or internet)
  • Schinznach – close to Zurich and can get a bit crowded. I like the “river” outdoors and the sauna (need to pay separately).
  • Leukerbad – a bit far from Zurich, but quite nice. The “Burgerbad” is quite bit, but you really cannot compare it to masterpieces like Vals. Amazing views: You can admire the rocky mountains above you while soaked up in warm water…. BTW: Don’t miss the Klettersteig in Leukerbad!
  • Scoul – quite nice. Supposedly the Roemisch-Irish bad is supposed to be what people come to Scoul for, but I never tried it. I the spa you can buy the mineral water per glass… rip-off. You can drink, probably similar mineral water from the marmot fountain for free ;-)
