The water's unique natural qualities have made Bad Ragaz a renowned wellness destination since the 19th century.

What should I pack for a day at Tamina Therme?

Accepted Answer

Bring your swimwear, a towel, and flip-flops or sandals. Robes and towels are also available to rent on-site if you prefer to travel light.

Bring a bag to store your belongings in the provided lockers.
