Winter excursions in Baden

The act of mindfully spending time in the forest, known as forest bathing, has a calming and restorative effect on body and soul. Explore Baden's forest with all of your senses on a magical guided walk and you'll instantly feel a boost to your personal sense of well-being.

From the luxurious bathing ceremonies in Roman times, to the disarmament of the town after the Second Villmerger War, to the here and now - on this walking tour you will learn about the living history of the town of Baden.

If you’re after a spa experience in the heart of Baden and right on the banks of the Limmat river, Switzerland’s newest thermal bath is the place for you. Designed by Mario Botta, the Fortyseven wellness spa is the centrepiece of Baden’s spas and continues the town’s rich Roman bath tradition dating more than 2,000 years. 

The Baldegg water tower is both a water reservoir and an observation tower. A spiral staircase with 181 steps leads up to the viewing platform which offers a 360-degree panoramic view across the Mittelland region to the Black Forest and from Mt. Säntis to the Jungfrau in the Bernese Oberland.

Welcome to the bakery! Guests can gain an insight into the bakery while enjoying an aperitif with some savoury baked snacks. After a short introduction, it’s time for everyone to get involved and design their own “Grittibänz” – a sweet, doughy equivalent of a gingerbread man.

Whether springs, city streams, fountains, bathhouses or the Limmat - in Baden, water determines the flow of things. On this tour you will learn more about the close relationship between the city and "its" water.
