Overzicht

Spa lovers with a sense of style can breathe a sigh of relief: good taste has come to Switzerland. The days are gone when taking a steam bath meant sitting in cramped, plastic-covered cabins, sucking in your breath to shrink away from your sweaty neighbour. The days are gone when a “wellness area” meant nothing more than a pool with three underwater jets and a sauna cabin. And the days are definitely gone when a few wooden surfaces and a wall of stone were the ultimate in contemporary cool – and you felt old simply because you had seen it all before.

Young, beautiful and fit

In the new design spas you can feel young again. For you will be surprised by stylish design; by colour schemes that are blissfully soothing; by lighting that flatters your complexion; by scents, materials and water features that work together to create a satisfying whole. You feel beautiful, surrounded by a refined aesthetic that also has an effect on your inner wellbeing. And you feel fit because you have spoilt yourself with nothing but the best – for body, skin and soul.

A new world of wellbeing

Several Swiss hotels have been at the forefront of these changes: the Palace in Lausanne, for example, and the Castell in Zuoz. The Lenkerhof in Lenk, with its youthful approach to wellness, has introduced a whole new clientele to the spa experience, while the Waldhaus in Flims refused to compromise in its stylish and innovative design. Their success encouraged others to invest in the future and in a new generation of spagoers: the most recent example is the Parkhotel in Weggis.

One particular place, however, has caught the attention of design-conscious spa-goers: the Bergoase (“mountain oasis”) in the Tschuggen Grand Hotel in Arosa, Graubünden. The celebrated architect Mario Botta has conjured up a stunning world of wellness inside the mountain, which will set new standards way beyond the borders of Switzerland. Light, water, heat and rock come together to create new sensations of space beyond the confines of familiar geometry: an astonishing new aesthetic of wellbeing
