7132 Therme in Vals, Switzerland, combines Peter Zumthor’s celebrated quartzite architecture with highly mineralized water from the St. Peter spring. If you are planning a visit, the most important details are the current admission price, your required online reservation, the age rules, and whether you qualify for a Valser Guest Card rate or have thermal-bath access included with a hotel stay.

7132 Therme Facilities and Architecture
The thermal baths were designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor and opened in 1996. According to 7132, the structure incorporates about 60,000 slabs of local Vals quartzite. The stone, subdued light, enclosed bathing spaces, and water are deliberately combined to create a quiet, architecture-focused bathing experience.
The St. Peter spring emerges at approximately 30°C. Visit Vals describes the building as sitting above Graubünden’s thermal mineral spring and notes that guests encounter water at varying temperatures throughout the bathing experience. You can read more about the building on the official 7132 Thermal Baths page.
The thermal spring in Vals was tapped in 1891, and the first Kurhaus with a bathhouse opened in 1893. The current Peter Zumthor thermal baths opened in December 1996.
The separate 7132 Spa offers treatments using ESPA products, as well as hair and beauty services. These services should not be confused with ordinary thermal-bath admission, and treatment charges are separate unless your hotel package specifically includes a spa credit or treatment.
Types of 7132 Therme Tickets and Access
The current public ticket system is simpler than the original article suggested. External visitors primarily choose a daily admission based on age, day of the week, and whether they have a valid Valser Guest Card.
Standard External-Visitor Admission
External visitors select an online arrival-time slot. The booked slot controls when you check in, not how long you may stay after entering. The official visitor information states that there is no individual time limit, so you may remain until the thermal baths close. Re-entry after leaving is not permitted.
Valser Guest Card Admission
Guests staying in participating Vals accommodation can receive a Valser Guest Card from their accommodation. The official booking system currently lists reduced thermal-bath prices for adults and children with a completed guest card. You must present the required guest-card documentation when using the discounted rate.
Hotel-Guest Access
Guests of 7132 Hotel 5S and House of Architects have different access arrangements from external day visitors. The hotel currently lists thermal-bath access for its guests from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., with night bathing on selected evenings. Children staying with these hotel guests have separate age rules from ordinary external visitors.
7132 Glenner also includes daily thermal-bath admission with qualifying hotel reservations, subject to its own access hours and child-age rules. Check the official hotel-guest Therme information for the rules that apply to your accommodation.
7132 Therme Day Pass Prices
Prices checked August 17, 2026. These are the prices currently shown in the official 7132 ticket system. Rates can change, so the official booking page remains the final price at checkout.
| Ticket type | Monday-Tuesday | Wednesday-Sunday |
| Adult | CHF 70 | CHF 85 |
| Adult with Valser Guest Card | CHF 60 | CHF 60 |
| Child age 6-15 | CHF 55 | CHF 60 |
| Child age 6-15 with Valser Guest Card | CHF 45 | CHF 45 |
VAT is included in the ticket prices displayed by the official shop. Towels are included in admission. The main visitor page currently states that Wednesday-Sunday adult and child public rates include a bathrobe, while bathrobes can otherwise be requested at reception for an additional charge.
Note: The official ticket calendar can contain special closures or reduced opening hours for individual dates. Check your actual date in the 7132 online ticket shop before travelling.
Opening Hours and Online Reservations
For external visitors, the standard opening hours currently published by 7132 are:
- Monday-Tuesday: 11:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m.
- Wednesday-Sunday: 11:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m.
External visitors need a valid online reservation. Tickets are limited to control occupancy, so arriving without a booking is not a reliable option.
During booking, you select an arrival window such as 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. or 1:00-2:00 p.m. Once admitted, you may stay until closing time. Leaving the thermal baths ends that admission because re-entry is not allowed.
The official ticket shop currently allows an admission to be changed or cancelled online until 24 hours before the reservation time. After that deadline, the shop states that 100% of the purchase price is charged as the cancellation fee.
Pro Tip: Reserve your preferred arrival slot before arranging a long trip to Vals. The number of external-visitor admissions is intentionally limited.
Age Rules for Children
For standard external admission, children are welcome from age 6 when accompanied by an adult. The published child ticket category covers ages 6 through 15. Children younger than 6 are not admitted under the standard external-visitor policy.
Different rules apply to some hotel guests. For example, 7132 Hotel 5S and House of Architects currently allow accompanied children from age 3 for daytime bathing, while night bathing has a higher minimum age. Always use the rules for your specific accommodation or admission type.
What to Bring and What Admission Includes
You do not need to bring your own towel. In fact, the official house rules state that private towels and bathrobes are not permitted in the thermal baths for hygiene reasons. Towels are provided as part of admission, and bathrobes are provided or rented according to the relevant ticket or hotel arrangement.
Wear ordinary, appropriate swimwear. Street shoes and street clothing stay in the changing area, and the thermal-bath areas are accessed barefoot or with appropriate bathing footwear.
Important House Rules
7132 Therme places strong emphasis on quiet bathing and privacy. Cameras, mobile phones, tablets, underwater cameras, and other camera-equipped devices are prohibited in the thermal-bath areas. This applies both indoors and outdoors.
Food and drinks are not permitted inside the bathing facility under the current house rules. Running, jumping into pools, using large pool toys, snorkels, flippers, and similar activities are also prohibited.
These restrictions are important because 7132 is designed as a quiet bathing environment rather than a conventional family water park.
Warning: The official house rules exclude guests with open wounds, fever, contagious illness, or impairment from drugs. Guests with cardiovascular concerns and pregnant guests are advised to ask a doctor about appropriate bathing duration. The Therme staff do not provide medical advice.
Package Deals and Special Offers
7132 does offer packages, but the main current offers are hotel packages rather than generic discounted day-pass bundles. Package availability and starting prices can change. The examples below were checked on August 17, 2026.
| Package | Key inclusions | Current starting rate |
| Spa Time You & Me | 2 nights, breakfast, dinners, CHF 250 spa credit, ESPA gift, thermal-bath access, and eligible night bathing | From CHF 1,440 for two at House of Architects or CHF 2,570 for two at 7132 Hotel 5S |
| Alpine 3 for 2 | 3-night House of Architects stay, breakfast, 33% saving on the standard rate, thermal-bath access, and eligible night bathing | From CHF 870 for two |
| Extended Escape | 4- or 5-night 7132 Hotel stay, breakfast, 25% saving, thermal-bath access, and eligible night bathing | From CHF 3,200 for two |
The package pages state that service and VAT are included, while visitor tax is charged separately. You can compare current offers on the official 7132 packages page.
Membership Options
The current public ticket and package pages do not list a general annual Therme membership or unlimited public-entry membership. That means the earlier suggestion that visitors can simply buy an annual membership should not be treated as current information.
For repeat visitors, the practical alternatives are regular day admission, Valser Guest Card rates when eligible, or a qualifying 7132 accommodation package that includes thermal-bath access.
Additional Spa Services and Amenities
The 7132 Spa is separate from ordinary thermal-bath admission and offers professional treatments using ESPA products. Current offerings include spa treatments plus hair and beauty services. Treatment availability and prices should be checked separately from your Therme ticket.
The hotel’s gym is another separate amenity. The official hotel information states that it is open 24 hours a day to guests of 7132 Hotel 5S and House of Architects, so external Therme day admission should not be assumed to include gym access.
Because food and drinks are not permitted inside the thermal-bath facility, plan meals outside the bathing area rather than expecting to eat beside the pools.
Night Bathing
Night bathing should not be confused with a standard low-cost “evening ticket.” Access depends on your guest type, hotel reservation, package, or scheduled experience.
For guests of 7132 Hotel 5S and House of Architects, the hotel currently lists night bathing from 11:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Some hotel packages include the same selected night-bathing periods.
If night bathing is important to your trip, choose an accommodation or package that explicitly lists it rather than assuming it is included in an ordinary external day ticket.
Getting to 7132 Therme
Vals is reached by mountain roads from Ilanz. The official arrival information states that drivers generally travel via Chur and Flims to Ilanz, followed by approximately 20 km to Vals. Visitors to the thermal baths can use accessible parking along the main road.
By public transport, the official route is by train via Chur to Ilanz and then by Swiss PostBus to the Vals, Therme stop. Winter drivers should be prepared for alpine road conditions.
Tips for Making the Most of Your Spa Experience
- Book before you travel. External admission is limited and requires an online reservation.
- Choose your day carefully. Monday-Tuesday admission is currently cheaper for visitors without a Valser Guest Card.
- Arrive during your booked window. Your reservation is based on your check-in period.
- Plan to stay once you enter. You can remain until closing, but re-entry is not permitted after leaving.
- Leave camera devices away. Phones, cameras, tablets, and similar devices are prohibited in the bathing areas.
- Do not pack a private towel or bathrobe for the Therme. Towels are supplied, and private towels and robes are not permitted inside.
- Check special-date notices. Events can alter normal opening hours or close the baths on specific dates.
- Separate bathing from treatments. If you want a massage or beauty treatment, reserve it through 7132 Spa rather than assuming it comes with normal admission.
