Thermal Bath

As a wedding gift to Jeff and Jenny, we treated them to a night in Leukerbad, a little over two hours from Geneva.  The village is in the canton of Valais and is very impressive because of the cliffs which surround it.  The history of the springs of Leukerbad dates back to the Roman times.  People, even then,were already aware of the therapeutic effect of the thermal water.  Today, 3.9 million litres of thermal water, up to 51°C (123.8 Fahrenheit), flow from the springs and thermal pools.


The village


You can ride a cable car up to the top of the cliff where the white building is located.  There is a lake and hiking paths to enjoy.

All set for a relaxing time in the spa!
