It is Switzerland’s first vertically built mineral bath & spa, an impressive and unique structural design from Architects, Miller & Maranta.
Relaxation by the water
The renaturation of the rivers Inn and Flaz is a another great asset Samedan has on offer for people in search of recuperation. Thanks to this award-winning project spectacularly beautiful river floodplains and footpaths have emerged.

Chesa Planta Samedan
