Spa

Relax in the warm thermal waters of the Siebentäler spa, located close to the village centre. In addition to the indoor and outdoor pools, there are indulgent spa treatments, saunas, steam rooms, relaxation areas and gardens. The spa is also open at night and there is nothing quite so magical as a night time swim outdoors in the warm water surrounded by the forest - on full moon nights it is open until midnight and the pools are lit with candles!
FREE spa entry: One FREE 4 hr entry is included for all Crystal customers (local charge for spa/beauty treatments & special events).
