A five year anniversary
Following comprehensive renovation and expansion work involving a CHF 160 million investment, the
Grand Resort Bad Ragaz celebrated with a grand opening at the end of June 2009. In celebration of the
five year anniversary, the five-star resort is delighted to offer its guests the launch of the new 36.5°
Thermal Water Collection via a new series of treatments and offerings to mark the anniversary. The
collection represents a further milestone in the integration of thermal water into the wellbeing services
offered by Switzerland’s Best Wellness Hotel (SonntagsZeitung newspaper, 2014). Therapeutic relaxation
is the first programme to act as a link between Europe’s Leading Wellbeing & Medical Health Resort’s
outstanding medical and award-winning wellness expertise.
Therapeutic relaxation
Take some time to give mind, body and soul a break from the stresses of everyday life – the treatments in
the new therapeutic relaxation programme offer more than just luxurious pampering and temporary, skindeep relaxation: by using therapeutic treatments, the programme offers a relaxation effect that penetrates
guests’ nervous systems, calms the mind, body and soul and heals the energy field from within. In
Page 1/4
developing the programme, the experienced team of therapists obtained advice from water experts and
doctors from the resort’s own Medical Health Center. The individual treatments were then meticulously
harmonised and optimised. The experts can therefore now offer a form of therapeutic relaxation that
helps guests find their inner balance and get back in touch with their body, mind and soul.
Programme details
From one day of therapeutic relaxation for a little downtime to several days of deep relaxation, guests
can find themselves and their inner balance and unleash new energy.
The new therapeutic relaxation programme centres around a yoga session, an essential facial and the
signature sequoia ceremony developed by the resort. Inspired by the resort’s mammoth trees, the
treatment uses the essence of the sequoia tree to give guests stability and balance, creating the necessary
conditions for pure relaxation. Regardless of how long guests choose to stay, the programme includes
individual therapeutic bathing programmes in the thermal water to lower stress levels and replenish the
body’s energy reserves. The resort’s own healthy gourmet cuisine Cuisine Équilibrée provides a balanced
diet for a renewed sense of vitality. A one-day programme without accommodation is available for
CHF 495.– (approximately EUR 410.–).
The three-day programme is priced at CHF 1,270.– (approximately EUR 1,050.–) includes an aqua gym
and floating session to reduce muscle tension as well as an andullation therapy session to activate the
metabolism and stimulate the body’s self-healing abilities. A Thalgo Aromacéane essential oil treatment
positively affects the body’s contours, boosting vitality and the feeling of relaxation. The sound waves
meditation session that rounds off the treatment uses the vibrations of singing bowls to encourage a
person’s instinctive trust, helping them to let go. It releases tension and blockages as the vibrations flow
through the entire body and pulsate in union with mind and soul. A paraffin treatment for hands and
feet not only leaves dry skin feeling soft and silky smooth but also stimulates the circulation and relaxes
stiff joints.
The repetition of individual treatments generates an even deeper sense of relaxation for the body, mind
and soul. The five-day programme is priced at CHF 2,275.– (approximately EUR 1,870.–) also includes
a cleansing ear candling treatment with a head and facial massage. Individual programme elements can
be changed on request.
36.5° Thermal Water Collection
Page 2/4
Therapeutic relaxation is the first programme to be launched by the resort in its new 36.5° Thermal
Water Collection and is centred around the therapeutic and healing thermal water. This is not the first
time that the Bad Ragaz thermal water’s healing powers and people’s needs have been dynamically
brought together in the resort’s 36.5° Wellbeing & Thermal Spa. With eight sources of holistic
wellbeing, the treatments combine the same promise of assistance for the body, mind and soul in
Thermal water & Strength, Energy & Earthing, Rhythm & Flow, Cleanliness & Clarity, Relaxation &
Balance, Inspiration & Vitality, Beauty & Care and Movement & Training. The 36.5° Thermal Water
Collection now uses these sources to help guests tend to their individual needs with their minds cleared
of thoughts, obligations and rules, and to simply be and enjoy some “me” time. Further programmes
will also follow.
