Well-Being
At the turnstile as you enter the Therme Vals there is a brass plaque pointing the way: "Therapie."A stairway to the left leads below the bathing level to a floor dedicated to the wellbeing of our guests. The therapies and treatments offered here are designed to relieve tension and pamper: masks, 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.
After your treatment, relax on a leather couch, have a cup of herbal tea, gaze through a large window at the opposite side of the valley, at the hillside strewn with small barns.

Water massage in the Vals thermal exercise pool
The water massage in the Vals thermal exercise pool is an application of alternative
medicine or hydrotherapy. The therapist stands in chest-deep water
and moves the guest in accordance with predetermined figures,
thus combining the positive properties of water with the basic effects
of Shiatsu. The treatment takes place in 35 ° C water. The body –
weightlessly floating in the water- undergoes passive lengthening
and stretching. Here, the drag of the water enhances the technique.
There is a feeling of weightlessness inducing a deep relaxation.
The treatment also benefits from the healing properties of the warm
thermal waters of Vals, such as improved peripheral circulation and
a relief of the joints. An excursion into weightlessness.

During the peeling, the upper layer of skin is smoothed with refined and gentle peeling substances. These promote circulation and the production of new cells, which leads to a smooth and soft complexion. The skin is now excellently prepared for the Vals hot stone massage.
