Résidence “Les Dents Blanches” A et B
GENERAL LOCATION Integrated in the Portes du Soleil, Europe’s largest skiing domain, and facing the towering Dents du Midi, the spa village of Val d’Illiez is strategically located at the entrance to the Valais Alps. Opening onto the Portes du Soleil, the valley is easily accessible, at a moderate driving distance from Berne, Sion and Geneva – 90 minutes to Geneva’s international airport, 50 minutes to Sion airport -. In this untouched region of mountain pastures, Alpine authenticity has been well preserved. The site offers a variety of leisure activities owing to its numerous modern infrastructures. In winter, skiers, hikes and mountain-climbers have access to an immense domain where summer sports such as tennis, mountain biking and hang-gliding are also on offer. However, the most sought-after, all-season activity in Val d’Illiez is swimming.
THERMAL BATHS After skiing in winter or after hiking in summer, the thermal baths of Val d’Illiez offer incomparable relaxation. They are fed by three main springs offering sulphate and magnesium rich, calciferous, fluorinated and sulphurous thermal water. The basins’ average water temperature is 34°C, and owing to a constant flow rate, basin contents are constantly renewed. This thermal and mineral water is particularly well suited for the treatment of articular affections, arthritis, as well as for the curing of certain skin diseases and peripheral circulatory disorders. The complex currently includes a 34°C thermal pool, a 29°C thermal stream, a thermal cave offering a mist effect, a 1’500 sqm lake, a park area and a healthcare center (massages, anti-stress treatments, acupuncture, water gymnastics, etc.), a gourmet restaurant offering local specialties, and a vast, sunny terrace. All in all, the baths are a true oasis of well-being in a splendid natural environment.
APARTMENTS The apartment buildings meet the highest standards of quality and architecture and aim to respect the local construction style. Particular prominence has thus been lent to wood and natural stone, be it in the building’s exterior appearance or in their interior finishing and decoration. Located near forests and alpine meadows, they are perfectly integrated in their environment. The thermal center’s current extension works feature new, partially covered basins. The current layout already offers a splendid aquatic park. Future infrastructures, including apartment buildings, a 4 star hotel and a shopping center, will perfectly round out the spa’s facilities.
