Completed in 1996 from 60,000 slabs of local Valser quartzite, Zumthor's bath is a sequence of stone chambers — fire, ice, flower, sound — lit through narrow slots, with an outdoor pool facing the valley.

訪ねる理由

This is the building that changed how thermal baths are designed. Bathing here is closer to visiting a cathedral than a leisure centre.

歴史

Vals' St Peter spring has been used since the eighteenth century; the 1996 bath is a listed monument, unusual for a building so young.

実用情報
