Therme Vals
Using 60,000 slabs of local quartzite and playing on light to amplify the feeling of space, Zumthor created one of the country’s most enchanting thermal spas, Therme Vals. Aside from heated indoor and outdoor pools, this grey-stone labyrinth hides all sorts of watery nooks and crannies, cleverly lit and full of cavernous atmosphere. Try the deep-heat Feuerbad (42°C), the perfumed Blütenbad or the escapist Grottenbad. Have a hum in the latter and enjoy the other-worldly acoustics! Sweat out all those impurities in the steam rooms.

Tamina Therme
The perfect cure for a bad case of Heidiness could be spa town Bad Ragaz, a couple of kilometres west of Maienfeld, which opened in 1840 and has attracted the bath-loving likes of Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford. Tamina Therme, a couple of kilometres south of town, was getting a makeover at the time of writing, but should reopen in summer 2009; call ahead or check online for times and prices. Bad Ragaz is on the Chur–Zürich train line. Trains from Chur via Maienfeld run hourly (Sfr8.20, 15 minutes).
