Les Bains de Lavey

Les Bains de Lavey is a public bathing facility with multiple thermal pools fed by warm mineral-rich water rising from deep underground. The complex offers several pools at varying temperatures and sizes to suit different preferences.

The thermal springs were discovered in 1831 along the Rhone riverbanks, prompting the construction of the first spa facility in 1852. The location developed into a regional wellness destination over the following generations.

The baths serve as a gathering place where locals and visitors experience the tradition of healing through natural mineral waters. The warm pools represent how the community values wellness and self-care through nature's resources.

Plan to arrive early, especially on weekends, as the facility is popular and can reach capacity during peak hours. It helps to start in cooler pools and gradually move to warmer ones to let your body adjust.

The water originates from approximately 600 meters underground and maintains a constant natural warmth, making this one of Switzerland's hottest natural springs. This long underground journey gives the water its distinctive mineral composition.
