Walliser Alpentherme

A narrative journey into wellbeing

High in the Swiss Alps at 1,411 metres above sea level lies Europe’s largest and highest alpine medical and wellness centre: the Walliser Alpentherme in Leukerbad. Many guests say it feels like stepping into another world – a world where warmth, water and mountain air work together to renew body and mind.

The story of ancient water

Since Roman times, people have relaxed in Leukerbad’s warm, mineral‑rich springs. The water still rises fresh from the mountains every day – healing, calming and full of energy.

  • 3.9 million litres of thermal water per day, up to 51 °C
  • Two indoor pools (34–40 °C) and a 300 m² outdoor pool
  • Neck showers, massage jets, bubble loungers & aero‑hydro massages

The warmth loosens muscles and joints, minerals such as calcium sulphate have a soothing effect, and in the water your body feels wonderfully light.

Rental service: Bathrobe CHF 10 | Towel CHF 5

Valais sauna village

A mountain village full of warmth

The sauna village feels like a small alpine hamlet made of wood and stone – every little house with its very own kind of warmth.

  • Over 300 m² of saunas & relaxation areas
  • Herbal sanarium (70 °C) in the granary
  • Finnish sauna (90 °C) in the chalet
  • Steam bath (48 °C) in the farmhouse
  • Stone sauna (40 °C) in the old mill with glacier pond
  • Thermal fountain & cosy village café

The effect: more mobility, improved circulation, a strengthened immune system and deeply felt relaxation.

Roman‑Irish bath

A journey through rituals and time

Behind a stone archway begins a ritual inspired by antiquity: 11 stations of Roman steam, Irish dry heat and warm thermal pools – a sequence that cleanses body and senses.

  • 11 perfectly harmonised heat and steam rooms
  • Nude area for a deep, liberating bathing experience
  • Soap‑brush massage & rest wrapped in warm sheets at the end

Roman‑Irish nights bring antiquity back to life – with music, food and drinks. From December to April, every first Saturday becomes a Caesar Party Night.
