Forget city spas – head to Therme Spain Switzerland for the real thing. The thermal spring is a national Swiss landmark built from 60,000 stone slabs of Valser quarzite.
The bath house is constructed from the local stone, gneisis, formed from the same heat that warms the water of the baths. The spa is a popular destination that draws Swiss and international tourists with the promise of six thermal pools (which contains calcium, sulpher, hydrogenand iron) full of minerals thought to heal and restore the skin and the body. by Lisa Evans
