Hey everyone,

We’ve got an exciting day trip planned to Bad Ragaz, where we will follow the path of the famous thermal spring - starting with a hike through the mystical Tamina Gorge, the birthplace of the healing waters, and ending with a relaxing dip in the Tamina Thermal Spa!

Here’s what the day looks like:

• We are meeting at 07:50 at Zürich HB and taking a train to Bad Ragaz (St. Gallen), where we will arrive shortly after 09:00.
• From there, we'll take a bus to old Bad Pfäfers and hike through the spectacular Tamina Schlucht - an absolute highlight of the region! The beautiful gorge/canyon has been carved by the Tamina River for thousands of years. It is the source of the 36.5°C thermal water that made Bad Ragaz world-famous. A path will lead us right along the edge of the cliffs 450 meters into the gorge to the grotto where the hot spring water flows out of the stone.
• At around 12:00 we're going to walk back down into the village of Bad Ragaz. This hike is easy and will take around an hour. We'll have a lunch break before we make our way to the thermal spa.
• From 14:30 to 17:00 we will unwind at Tamina Therme and enjoy the healing power of the thermal water. Tamina Therme is directly fed by the water from Tamina Schlucht and is one of the best-known wellness oases in Switzerland. It is actually the oldest thermal spa in Europe (built in 1872)! On 7300 square metres there are eight pools, all offering a different experience - soothing, calming or energizing.
• After a relaxing afternoon, we will get on the train back to Zurich. If you like you can grab a sandwich at the thermal spa café or at the train station. We will be back at HB by around 19:00.
