Les Grands Bains d’Hérémence: alpine wellness at altitude

Immersive wellness facing the alpine peaks

Perched in the heart of Val d’Hérens, the Grands Bains d’Hérémence offer a modern alpine wellness experience with panoramic views over the Valais mountains — including the Dent Blanche and the Matterhorn. The heated outdoor pools let you float in warm water while breathing in the pure mountain air, all year round.

Spread across several levels, the complex combines indoor and outdoor pools, relaxation areas, and thermal zones designed for recovery after hiking, skiing, or a day in the mountains.

From the Raccard de Louise in Saint-Martin, you’re just minutes away from this unique Valais wellness retreat — no need to cross the entire canton.

Warm waters, wide horizons

One of the great pleasures of the Grands Bains d’Hérémence is the contrast: hot thermal water, cool mountain air, and the silence of the valley. Sitting in the pool, your body completely relaxed, you face the raw alpine landscape of Val d’Hérens. The curves of the mountains, the evening light, and the clear alpine sky create an atmosphere no urban spa can match.

This isn’t generic wellness — it’s mountain well-being, elevated and open to nature rather than enclosed by walls.

A complete wellness space

Beyond the thermal pools, the Grands Bains d’Hérémence feature a full spa with sauna, hammam, rest lounges, and specialized treatments. Relaxing massages, revitalizing rituals, deep-therapy options — everything is designed to release muscle tension and restore balance after physical effort.

It’s the perfect place to unwind after hiking through Val d’Hérens, exploring the Grande Dixence dam, or spending a day at altitude. The body recovers faster, shoulders loosen, and legs feel lighter.

For couples, solo travelers, or families

The baths are ideal both for couples’ escapes and family visits. The facility includes quiet areas for full relaxation, as well as family-friendly spaces (from age 4, with supervision) featuring warm-water pools adapted for children.

A rare find in the Alps — a high-end thermal destination that remains accessible and not exclusively adult-oriented.

Suggested day around the Grands Bains d’Hérémence

• Morning: stroll through Val d’Hérens, traditional villages and alpine viewpoints.
• Lunch: local products at the chalet — alpine cheese, rye bread, Valais dried meats.
• Afternoon: immersion at the Grands Bains d’Hérémence — heated outdoor pools, hammam, sauna, full relaxation.
• Evening: wood fire, soft light, and mountain silence back at the Raccard de Louise.

An alpine art of living

What makes this experience unique is its balance between refinement and authenticity. You enjoy a modern wellness infrastructure — multiple pools, treatment spaces, open panoramas — while staying connected to the true Valais mountains: dry-stone walls, aged wood, living villages, and a slower rhythm.

It’s the essence of an “Alpura Wellness & Relaxation” stay: warm water, calm, views — and then a peaceful return to your chalet, designed for slowing down.
