Bäderlandschaft Brigerbad

Bäderlandschaft Brigerbad is a renowned thermal bathing landscape in the village of Brigerbad in the Visp district of the canton of Valais, where naturally warm sulphated mineral springs emerge in the broad Rhône Valley between Visp and Brig at the foot of the Mischabel and Aletsch glacier mountains. The thermal springs of Brigerbad, one of Switzerland's warmest natural mineral water sources, have been used since Roman times and are today accessible in a series of stepped outdoor terrace pools that exploit the hillside terrain and frame exceptional views of the Rhône Valley and surrounding alpine peaks. The facility's outdoor bathing landscape — unusual in Switzerland for its open, south-facing terrace design at relatively low valley altitude — provides one of the most sun-drenched and relaxing thermal bathing environments in the Swiss Alps. Brigerbad's proximity to the Zermatt valley, the Aletsch Arena UNESCO World Heritage glacier landscape, and the Simplon Pass creates an outstanding combination of thermal relaxation and world-class Alpine heritage tourism.
