A little history
The small town of Bad Ragaz, with a population of about 5 thousand people, has been known since time immemorial for its healing hot springs located in the Tamina Gorge. They were discovered by Benedictine monks in 1242. At that time, such reserves of hot water were a real miracle. Later it turned out that it also has healing properties, and people began to come here to bathe in the magical spring and improve their health. At that time, this procedure was quite dangerous – vacationers were lowered on ropes to the bottom of the gorge and left there for a week. The healing properties of mineral water also became known to Dr. Paracelsus, who began to successfully use them in his practice.
The first mineral resort in this area was built in 1716, and since 1840 water has been supplied via wooden pipes directly to Bad Ragaz. This event turned the modest village into a famous mineral resort, attracting aristocracy from all over the world. Today there is a medical center specializing in diagnostics, postoperative rehabilitation, therapy and preventive medicine. It is considered one of the leading in the country. At the center you can undergo examination, visit the laser therapy and cosmetic medicine center, which offers Botox, laser correction, mesotherapy, liposuction and other procedures.
