„My muscles have relaxed noticeably in the herbal

steam sauna, in the bath my gaze wanders up to

the sparkling crystals. I look forward to a freshly

pressed fruit-juice in the open air with a view of

the beautiful mountain landscape. And then I go

back to my hotel room comfortably wrapped in my

bathrobe.“

Experience the new Rigi Kaltbad Spa and allow your-self to be drawn into the sacred world of the renowned architect Mario Botta. The public baths lie below the „Giardino Minerale“, the new village square of Rigi Kalt-bad and offer a mineral spa as well as a spa area that is only open to adults. The generously sized indoor pool extends outdoors into the outside pool, which

offers a beautiful view of the mountains and lake. Enjoy your bathing experience with saunas or go on a longer bathing journey and immerse yourself in the rituals of the spa. Relax in the herbal steam sauna, in the crystal bath or book yourself a massage. As a guest of the newly opened hotel Rigi Kaltbad, you can go directly to the baths quickly and comfortably in your bathrobe and already be enjoying bathing two hours before the official opening of the baths.Fascinating architecture, a view into the valley and

fresh mountain air: bathing doesn‘t get any more

beautiful than this.

Mineral Bath & Spa Rigi Kaltbad

„The aroma of freshly mown grass, the relaxing

warmth of the sun on my skin, the memory of

yesterday‘s mountain hike still in my mind. The

soothing sounds of the waves and the certainty

that I only have to open my eyes, here in my

bathing spot, to be greeted by a fascinating moun-

tain and lake landscape…“

Our natural feel-good factors are clear lakes, fresh mountain air and pure nature. The mild climate, which allows southern plants such as palms and orchids

to thrive, also helps you to relax. A unique lake and mountain landscape awaits you with unbeatable relaxation value, attractive excursion experiences and countless opportunities for cosy hours or sporting challenges: a refreshing leap into the lake from the public bathing places, a cycling trip through the villa-ges, a picnic or a hike on the Rigi with a view from the summit and a trip back into the valley on Europe‘s fi rst cogwheel railway.Enjoy your personal wellbeing in a unique natural

landscape.
