Spa & Wellness: Pure Alpine Zen

Imagine sinking into a steaming thermal bath while snowflakes drift down outside—that’s the magic of Switzerland’s spa villages. Places like Leukerbad, with its 65 natural springs pumping out mineral-rich waters, or Bad Ragaz, home to the luxurious Grand Resort’s spa, are straight-up heaven. Our guides spotlight the best wellness centers, from Scuol’s budget-friendly Engadin baths to Gstaad’s ultra-fancy spa retreats. Whether you’re after a deep-tissue massage to soothe ski-sore muscles, a yoga session with mountain views, or a detox sauna to escape life’s hustle, we’ve got the lowdown. We’ll tell you which spots offer unique treatments—like vinotherapy (yes, wine-inspired spa sessions!)—and how to score day passes or package deals. Perfect for post-ski relaxation or a full-on wellness getaway, these alpine havens will leave you refreshed and ready to take on the world. Bonus: we throw in tips for nearby winter hikes or snowshoe trails to round out your zen day!
