Grand Resort Bad Ragaz Opens the Tamina Health Center - A New Competency Center for Prevention and Regeneration

The Tamina Health Center combines medical excellence, therapeutic expertise, and first-class hotel services in an integrated luxury environment. Rooted in Bad Ragaz’s centuries-old healing tradition, dating back to the discovery of the Tamina spring in 1242, the center merges the power of natural resources with the latest findings in medicine and science. Prevention, personalized medicine, and holistic wellbeing are at the heart of the new offering. "We are creating a place here where state-of-the-art diagnostics and therapy go hand in hand with the healing power of our thermal water and the individual care of a luxury resort. This combination is unique in Europe and offers our guests significant added value for their health," explains Dr. Klaus Tschütscher, CEO of the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz.

Tamina Health Concept - Focusing on Holistic Health

Based on the latest scientific approaches and the "Hallmarks of Health", the Tamina Health Concept, on which all health programs are based, has been developed over the past months. This holistic concept rests on four central pillars of health – Movement, Nutrition, Sleep, and Mental Health – as well as on the natural energy of the thermal water. "Our programs incorporate all relevant lifestyle factors. Movement, nutrition, restorative sleep, and mental health significantly influence vitality – we consciously use these four pillars to strengthen self-healing powers and promote sustainable health," explains Dr. med. Alexandra Dopplinger, Chief Medical Officer and Head of the Tamina Health Center.

The Four Pillars of Health

All programs of the Tamina Health Center are based on the Tamina Health Concept, an integrative approach that unites the central factors for vitality with thermal water as the origin:

Movement – Resilience, homeostasis, and stress management Nutrition – Metabolism, hormonal balance, and regeneration Sleep – Recovery, energy, and vital rhythms Mental Health – Emotional stability and inner balance

"The Tamina Health Center is the evolution of a centuries-old healing tradition rooted in the power of our thermal water. By combining natural resources with state-of-the-art diagnostics and personalized medicine, we create a health understanding that goes far beyond traditional wellness," says Dr. med. Alexandra Dopplinger.

Five Core Programs – Individual and Effective

The Tamina Health Center's offerings include five health programs built on these pillars:

Longevity (3–14 days): A holistic program for healthy aging with state-of-the-art diagnostics and innovative therapies. Detox (7 days): Medically guided detoxification with anti-inflammatory treatments and metabolic support. Weight Loss (7–13 days): Sustainable weight reduction through diagnostics, nutritional analysis, personal training, and long-term routines. Recharge (3–5 days): Relaxation for body and mind with sleep therapies, aromatherapy, and mindfulness practices. Health Check-up (3–4 days): Comprehensive prevention with state-of-the-art diagnostics and individual consultation.

The programs are complemented and personalized by advanced additional therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), intermittent hypoxia-hyperoxia training (IHHT), ozone therapy, infusion therapies, and mental health coaching.

International Orientation with Regional Roots

With the Tamina Health Center and the new strategy, the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz is increasingly targeting an international audience of health-conscious guests – from busy executives to longevity enthusiasts. At the same time, the regional identity remains a central anchor: The name Tamina Health Center deliberately refers to the traditional thermal spring, which has stood for healing and wellbeing for centuries. "Our vision is to establish Bad Ragaz as a global power place for health and sustainable wellbeing – far beyond the stay of our guests," says Dr. Klaus Tschütscher.

Significance of the Tamina Thermal Spring

Discovered 1242: Hunters from the Abbey of Pfäfers found the hot spring in the Tamina Gorge. Natural wonder: The water emerges from the rock at 36.5°C (exactly body temperature) and is low in minerals and particularly well-tolerated. "Blue Gold": One of the most productive sources in Europe, it has symbolized regeneration and health for centuries. Today: The water flows directly to Bad Ragaz and supplies the Thermal Spa and the public Tamina Therme.
