Walliser Alpentherme Leukerbad — Saunadorf

The Valais Alpine Thermal Baths are situated on the historic village square in Leukerbad, at an altitude of 1,411 metres above sea level, and are connected to the Thermalhotel De France via a direct passageway. They are operated by Alpine Rose Resort AG. The thermal water feeds two indoor pools and a 300 m² outdoor pool with views of the Valais mountains.

The Valais Sauna Village is built in the style of a small mountain village using wood and slate: each sauna has its own little cottage, ranging from a granary to a chalet and a farmhouse, right through to an old mill with a millwheel and a glacial pond. In the centre is a fountain square with a thermal spring, next to which is a massage parlour and the Gemmistube, serving Valaisan snacks and drinks.

Admission to the Sauna Village is valid for three hours and includes access to the thermal baths. Those with more time to spare can book the Roman-Irish Bath from Friday to Sunday, featuring eleven heat, steam and thermal stations, followed by a soap-brush massage — booking required. From December to April, the first Saturday of every month is ‘Caesar Party Night’.
