VOYA JANUARY SPA OF THE MONTH | The Alpine Spa at The Grand Hotel des Bains KempinskI, St. Moritz
Every month we are highlighting one of our brilliant spa partners with you; the perfect way to discover VOYA treatments and products from all around the world. Our Spa of The Month for January 2022, is the Alpine Spa, Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski, a leading 5 star hotel in St. Moritz, located in the beautiful Swiss Alps.
The Grand Hotel Des Bains looks like the set of a winter wonderland. The building is all white as a snowy mountain peak with blue shuttered windows and two rather grand towers. It is located at the root of St. Moritz and has direct access to the ski and hiking Corviglia region, one of the world’s top snowsports areas with pistes that have featured in the World Championships and Olympics. The legendary Hahnensee ski run ends in front of the hotel and the cross-country ski runs of the Engadine ski marathon pass it too. The hotel has ski-in ski-out facilities and training facilities for winter sports with the famous in-house “Snow Academy Jochberg” ski school.
The Alpine Spa
The Alpine Spa is situated on 2,800 sqm right on top of the Mauritius Spring, famously known for it's health properties. The spa was developed under the belief in the unique purity and calming quality of the local glacial waters and mountain herbs. You can instantly feel the natural elements and purest products of the Alps with all your senses.
Visit the spa to experience the extensive range of treatments or simply relax in one of the numerous saunas. Take a dip in the Kneipp baths or 15-metre spectacular indoor pool.
When the weather is warm, enjoy lounging out in the fresh crisp of the spa's garden as you marvel at the mountain view from the sun terrace or take a dip in the outdoor pool.

Spa Philosophy
"It is not a myth, but a fact, that we are all unique."
Some may feel invigorated and alive in cold weather and perhaps feel sluggish and fatigued in hot climates, whilst others might be just the opposite. Whatever your preference you will find your ideal temperature in one of the saunas of the Alpine spa.
There is a selection of saunas and thermal rooms on offer and an ideal place to relax or for winter sport enthusiasts to warm up in. Visit the Finnish sauna, bio sauna, herbal sauna, stone sauna or steam bath and then cool off in the laconium.

Mauritius Springs
The Mauritius Spring is a natural nutrient-rich water source discovered in the Bronze Age. Then in the year 1535 the Swiss physician Paracelsus re-discovered the healing qualities of this water. It contains above-average concentrations of minerals such as iron, calcium, sodium and hydro carbonates. This unique blend of ingredients and its sour taste, makes the water, which guests can experience at a tap in the adjacent Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz, so special.
