Found in the St. Gallen Rhine Valley at the foot of the Pizol Mountain, Bad Ragaz has been traditionally known as a health spa and today is regarded as one of the best options for wellness in the whole of Switzerland. The bath springs originate from the Tamina Gorge, which is located near to Pfafers. Combined with the other attractions, including golf courses, Bad Ragaz is the perfect stop for a week or more of relaxation. When enjoyed with the sumptuous backdrop of the Swiss countryside, there is something for everyone to enjoy here.

The history of Bad Ragaz is extremely long and a fascinating insight into Swiss culture in itself. As far back at the thirteenth century, pilgrims would journey to the area to take advantage of the springs, and by the seventeenth century the earliest baroque bathhouse had been built below the Benedictine Monastery in Pfafers. From the nineteenth century, luxury hotels were built so that more tourists could easily enjoy the exceptional quality of the waters in the area including Russian nobility. Aside from the spa, the landscape around the Tamina Gorge makes for a spectacular backdrop for driving, as well as the ravines around Bad Pfafers. You can also visit the museum and war memorials in the town, which is also home to many great quality restaurants and other facilities
