More than twenty mineral springs exist in and around Scuol; ten are currently in use. The springs were documented as early as the 14th century and were made famous across Europe by the physician Paracelsus. The current facility opened in 1994.

A separate, textile-free sauna area (age 18) has an infusion sauna, fireplace sauna, panorama sauna, humidity sauna, ice plunge, waterfall wall, and foot baths. An exclusive women's sauna session runs on Thursday mornings. The Roman-Irish bath (age 18, surcharge) is an approximately 2-hour guided ritual combining dry and wet saunas, a soap and brush massage, a sequence of pools, a body cream station, and a final relaxation room with alpine views. A spring water walkway and mineral water tasting bar are also available.
