Spa holiday in a mountain oasis

A kingdom for the senses between heaven and earth. This is the Tschuggen Bergoase (“Mountain oasis”) – a unique spa complex, part of the renowned Tschuggen Grand Hotel in Arosa, Switzerland.

The roof, with its opulent sails in glass and steel, blends harmoniously with the setting. By day, the sails allow plenty of light into the rooms below; at night, they bathe the idyllic mountain village of Arosa in a warm light.

This wellness oasis, designed by architect Mario Botta, features in- and outdoor relaxation pools; 2 private Spa suites, 12 individually furnished treatment rooms for massage, baths and beauty; mountain sauna with snow terrace; and a chill-out zone with fireplace.
