2025 Vals Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

The Therme Vals Hotel is widely regarded as a masterpiece of contemporary architecture and the ultimate embodiment of Peter Zumthor's philosophy of "architecture of the senses." It doesn't rely on bold shapes to catch the eye but instead awakens inner emotions and sensations through the exquisite arrangement of materials, light and shadow, the sound of water, and spatial proportions. The building blends seamlessly with the mountain, neither obtrusive nor subordinate, reflecting a profound respect for nature. This thermal spa is not just a place for healing but also a spatial experience for dialogue with nature, contemplation, and meditation. It proves that architecture can be understated yet deeply moving. Nestled deep in the mountains, Therme Vals is well worth a visit, especially for those seeking tranquility, natural healing, and architectural beauty. It’s more than a hotel—it’s an immersive architectural artwork. Surrounded by the Alps, soaking in natural mineral springs, with pristine mountain views and serene stone-crafted spaces, you’ll find complete relaxation and a true escape from the world. Here, there’s no urban noise, only the ultimate sensory indulgence and a space for inner reflection. For those who love nature, architecture, aesthetics, or simply crave deep relaxation, this is a rare spiritual journey—far beyond an ordinary getaway.
