The 7132 Thermal Baths in Vals, Graubünden, are among the most celebrated works of contemporary architecture in the world, designed by Swiss master Peter Zumthor and completed in 1996. Embedded into the mountainside and clad entirely in local Valser quartzite stone, the baths offer an elemental bathing experience centered around the valley's only natural thermal spring. The bicarbonate mineral waters flow through a sequence of pools of varying temperatures, steam grottoes, and reflective chambers, creating an atmosphere of profound stillness and sensory contemplation. A pilgrimage site for architecture enthusiasts and wellness travelers alike, Vals represents the highest union of art, stone, water, and mountain landscape.
