Anzère Spa & Wellness

Anzère Spa & Wellness occupies the centre of the car-free resort village of Anzère, on Place du Village, about twenty minutes' drive above Sion in Valais. It is the resort's own public bath rather than a hotel facility: it has its own address, telephone number and reception, and is open to all visitors.

The bathing area is built around water at 33 °C that reaches indoors and outdoors, with massage jets, bubble beds and a waterfall; the operator makes a point of the heating being a wood-pellet system rather than fossil fuel. Upstairs from the family bathing is a wellness floor of 1,500 square metres reserved for visitors over 16, holding a jacuzzi at 36 °C, a hammam at 40 °C, a sanarium at 70 °C, an indoor sauna at 90 °C and a further sauna outdoors at 80 °C.

Beyond drop-in bathing the house runs a full programme of courses and events: swimming lessons, baby swimming, aquabike and aqua-trampoline classes, children's birthday parties and hen parties. A treatment menu built on Payot products covers relaxation, Swedish and deep massage, lymphatic drainage, Lomi-Lomi, Breuss spinal massage, hot-stone with argan oil, Ayurvedic Abhyanga, shiatsu, reflexology and recognised therapeutic massage, bookable online. The bath opens every day of the week from 09:45 to 20:00, with last admission an hour before closing, and shuts for roughly two weeks each autumn for maintenance.
