Vals Luxury Hotels: Thermal Architecture and a Walser Valley

A Thermal Stay In The Village

7132 Hotel Vals, on Poststrasse, is the accommodation base in this collection. It suits a stay centred on thermal architecture, with the village and upper valley supplying separate cultural and landscape outings.

Stone Roofs And Walser Settlements

The village core is called Vals-Platz. Houses and barns with stone-slab roofs give the settlement a strong material character. The same local material appears across domestic and agricultural buildings, so the historic village offers an architectural interest beyond the thermal complex.

Leis, Camp and Valé belong to the municipality's wider pattern of Walser farm settlements. These smaller groups of buildings contrast with the village centre, preserving the relationship between dwellings, barns and the surrounding agricultural landscape.

A Raised Bog Above The Valley

At Kristallloch, the Valser Moorlehrpfad introduces a raised-bog ecosystem through five interpretation stations. The landscape lies along the high route between Gadastatt and Frunt.

The Small Chapel At Frunt

St Anna's chapel stands on a rocky projection at Frunt. Built in 1754, it has a single room and an altar niche beneath a barrel vault. A stucco altar, a green-and-brown wooden frontal and an image of St Anna with the Virgin, Child and St Joseph give this small religious building a decorative richness beyond its modest size.

Traces Of The Former Zervreila Village

The reservoir replaced an earlier settlement. Timber salvaged from the old village was used to build the Zervreila restaurant in 1960, while its roof reused older stone slabs. This surviving fabric gives the upper-valley landscape a human history alongside the dam and mountain scenery.
