Getting to Vals by Train and PostBus
The route through the mountains to Vals was a powerful
inspiration in his search for a formal vocabular y of architecture
Peter Zumthor writes in his book Therme Vals. This aspect of
the journey has become a ritual for many visitors who time and
again choose to come to the Vals Valley by train and PostBus.
The journey begins when the traveler boards a Rhaetian
Railway ( RhB) train in Chur. Just after the Rhine Plains near
Reichenau this rough-terrain, narrow-gauge railway (track
width: 1 meter) makes its way through the greatest rock slide
area of the Alps (volume: 15 km 3 ). There are no villages or
streets in this canyon; impressive engineering structures were
needed to build the railway through the compacted Mesozoic
limestone cliffs.
The train route follows the path of the Vorderrhein, which
has car ved its way through the fallen rock over the millennia.
This pristine canyon is called the Ruinaulta ( Rom. ruina = land -
slide + aulta = high). Washed out limestone pinnacles rise up
from the up to 350-meter-high white cliffs, alders and pines
cling to the concrete-gray scree fields, dead trees lie strewn
across gravel islands in the roiling river. In the U-shaped Vorder -
rhein glacial valley the train pulls into the little town of Ilanz,
where the PostBus stands waiting.
The road to Vals leads south, taking one through a land -
scape of soft-contoured Bündner schist to yet another valley.
On one half of this valley the mountainside is in constant motion,
the church in Peiden has wandered 16 meters downhill in the
last centur y. The scener y grows wilder, rock-slide and avalanche
shelters protect the road. Between St. Mar tin and Vals the valley
narrows to a steep ravine, jagged cliffs flank the road above
the Valserrhein. From here, one can see the cr ystalline, mineral-
rich gneisses of the Adula nappe. And suddenly the ravine
opens up onto a wide valley: end of the line. Vals.

Therapeutic Springs
The Vals thermal and mineral springs originate on the left side
of the valley, 20 to 25 meters above the valley floor on the hotel
and spa grounds. Drilled in 1980, the most impor tant well
is located south of the Hotel Therme and protected by a modern
structure.
The mineral spring water is used by both the Hotel und
Thermalbad Bad Vals ag and the Valser Mineralquellen ag.
The springs are owned by the community of Vals.
Temperature and Mineralization
For millions of years water has collected in five billion tons
of Bündner schist, it has seeped through cracks and crevices
down to a depth of 1,000 meters and penetrated the dolomite
rock layer, from whence it finally resurfaces at the foot
of Piz Aul.
The water tapped by the new borehole drilled in 1980
emerges at a temperature of 30° C. These thermal springs
in Vals are the only ones in Grisons and are fed by a watercourse
90 meters below ground. This source runs through Trias strata,
a regional phenomenon that can be obser ved in the Vals
Valley and Lugnez.
An analysis of the chemical composition of the water
clearly shows that mineralization occurs in the Trias strata
because all the dissolved par ticles found in the thermal water
are also present in the various rocks of the Trias strata:
dolomite, lime stone, white marble with quar tz and cellular
dolomite, and in between, gray slate. The concentration
of the mineralization of the water is 1,918 milligrams|liter and
can be broken down as follows: calcium 436, magnesium 54,
sodium 10.7, chloride 2.5, fluoride 0.63, iron 6, iodide 0.02,
potassium 2.0, manganese 0.03, hydrogen carbonate 386,
sulfate 990, silicic acid 25.

Therapy and Beauty
At the turnstile as you enter the Therme Vals there is a brass
plaque pointing the way: “Therapie.” A stair way to the left
leads below the bathing level to a floor dedicated to the well-
being of our guests. The therapies and treatments offered
here are designed to relieve tension and pamper: masks,
Body and Beauty exfoliation, baths, wraps, and massages.
Here, the Vals gneiss is polished and smooth – velvety
concrete walls with noble brass doors on the mountain side;
the treatment area on the valley side. Behind the brilliant
blue Murano glass doors are the separate massage rooms,
their walls and ceilings coated with metallic paint. A small
square window frames the landscape: the guest’s own
personal picture.
Our competent, well-trained therapists and beauty staff
ensure a range of high-quality treatments. Not only will you

Bathing at the Therme Vals is much more than merely dipping
into the waters of the only mineral hot springs in Grisons.
Anyone who has been here and experienced the water of
Vals at the unique thermal baths designed by Peter Zumthor
knows the difference and inevitably returns, sooner or later
finding his or her way back through the narrow, winding
mountain gorge.
“It is different ever y time,” a guest exclaims, beaming
enthusiasm. “The Therme Vals gives me a ver y personal sense
of revelation.” And it is true, the bathing experience at the
Therme Vals caters to the individual and is strongly influenced
by one’s own subjective perception. Peter Zumthor has
brilliantly created a world in which personal, introspective
impressions converge with objective beauty.
Bathing at the Therme Vals means immersion in design
perfection, in the velvety softness of soothing water, in the
pureness of clean mountain air, and in the tranquil, untamed
beauty of the Vals Valley, in a world of light and shadows. And Copyright © 2010 by Hotel Therme Vals and the authors
