Kneipp facilities in Grächen and surroundings
Kneipp wellness in Grächen
One of the driest places in Switzerland with a lot of sunshine and good air quality, Grächen is an ideal place for those looking for recreation and relaxation. Built according to the Kneipp philosophy, you will find one of the country’s prime Kneipp facilities in Grächen, focusing on five fundamental philosophies: movement, nutrition, healing herbs, water and inner balance.
Here you will find water streams, arm baths and a variety of pools, as well as a large relaxation area. After a nice walk or hike, a visit to the Kneipp garden is the best thing you can do to cool off and relax. All facilities are accessible with prams.
Access to the facilities is free of charge for our guests. The Kneipp area is located in marvelous natural surroundings near the edge of the forest and Lake Grächersee. Various activities are on offer so you can warm up before entering the cool Kneipp pools. Another Kneipp area can be found in Taa, some 30 minutes’ walking from our Kneipp garden.
The neighboring village of Gasenried, in Schalbetten at Riedbach stream also boasts two arm pools and a Kneipp stream. This location is also the departure point for the high-altitude loop trail from Jungen to Moosalp.
A further four Kneipp streams can be found above Grächen, using glacier water. Our hotel also offers a range of Kneipp treatments and therapies which use this popular philosophy. Find more information in our brochures which are available at the tourist office.
Kneipp treatments for children
Children always love water and we offer playful ways for them to discover the pleasures of Kneipp facilities. Your children will find out how short, fun treatments can make them sleep better and feel more at ease.
Some things you should know before entering the Kneipp pools with your children:
Children react to temperature changes much quicker than adults, and they lose body warmth quite rapidly. Take care that the treatments for your children are of the mild variety and don’t let them stay in the water too long. Don’t let your children unattended in the water and always monitor their reactions to cold water.
