In the heart of the Swiss Alps, where mist rises from ancient thermal springs and the Tamina Gorge cuts a dramatic path through stone, a new chapter in European wellness is unfolding. On 1 October 2025, the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz unveiled the
Tamina Health Center – a state-of-the-art hub for preventive medicine, longevity, and holistic wellbeing.

For more than seven centuries, visitors have journeyed to Bad Ragaz to bathe in the 36.5 °C thermal waters of the Tamina spring, celebrated for their soothing and restorative powers. Today, that same “blue gold” flows directly into selected guestrooms and into the treatment suites of the new center.

What was once a traditional spa town has evolved into a destination for next-generation longevity medicine – with the resort’s new Signature Longevity Program at its core.

 

WHERE TRADITION MEETS MODERN SCIENCE

Led by Dr Alexandra Dopplinger, MD, the Tamina Health Center unites more than 100 physicians, therapists, trainers, and health experts. Its guiding philosophy is simple yet profound: to combine the timeless restorative power of water, nature, and rest with the latest in diagnostics and personalised longevity therapies.

“Wellness is no longer indulgence; it is an investment in the future,” says Dr Dopplinger. “Our aim is not just to help people live longer, but to help them live better – with vitality, clarity and joy.”

Every stay begins with an advanced health assessment – from heart-rate-variability and microbiome profiling to metabolic screening and epigenetic testing. These insights form the foundation of tailored plans designed to extend health-span, enhance energy, and slow cellular ageing.

The Tamina Health Center’s philosophy rests on four pillars that support vibrant, resilient health:

1. Movement

2. Nutrition

3. Sleep

4. Mental Health

Each is complemented by a suite of evidence-based treatments – including for exampleHBOT sessions, HRV measurements, or Traditional Chinese Medicine – all delivered within the discreet luxury of the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz.

 

THE SIGNATURE LONGEVITY PROGRAM

At the heart of the center is the Signature Longevity Program – a three- to 14-day flagship retreat targeting biological rejuvenation, cellular regeneration, and performance optimisation.

Each programme is custom-built following a comprehensive diagnostic intake and may combine thermal-water hydrotherapy, anti-inflammatory nutrition, guided training, micronutrient infusions, and stress-regulation techniques. The goal: to strengthen mitochondrial health, improve vascular elasticity, and promote youthful gene expression – helping the body grow younger from the inside out.

“Ageing is inevitable,” Dr Dopplinger notes, “but how we age is increasingly within our influence. The Longevity Program is about shifting the trajectory – giving our guests the tools to return home stronger, clearer, and biologically younger than when they arrived.”

 

FIVE BESPOKE HEALTH PROGRAMS

Beyond the Longevity focus, the Tamina Health Center offers four additional programmes designed to meet specific modern health needs:

• Detox (7 days) – a physician-supervised metabolic reset to strengthen immunity, reduce inflammation, and improve digestion.

• Weight Loss (7–13 days) – medically guided weight management focused on hormonal balance and metabolic flexibility rather than calorie restriction.

• Recharge (3–5 days) – a stress-recovery immersion combining traditional relaxation practices with modern neurosensory techniques.

• Health Check-Up (3–4 days) – an executive-level preventive diagnostics package for early detection and lifestyle optimisation.

Each pathway is rooted in clinical expertise, with the comfort and refinement of a world-class resort experience.

HEALING WATERS: THE SOUL OF BAD RAGAZ

Central to every stay is the legendary Tamina thermal water, still drawn from deep within the gorge where it was discovered by monks in the 13th century. Renowned for its softness and mineral composition, the spring water flows through all spa pools, hydrotherapies, and even private in-room taps.

“The water is our origin – and our future,” says Dr Dopplinger. “We now pair its natural healing energy with modern longevity science to create therapies that restore and revitalise at a cellular level.”

 

WORLD-CLASS HOSPITALITY MEETS PREVENTIVE MEDICINE

The opening of the Tamina Health Center marks a major milestone in the resort’s long-term ‘Grand Resort Bad Ragaz 2035’ vision, led by CEO Dr Klaus Tschütscher, to position the property as a global leader in Health & Wellbeing.

Guests not only access exceptional medical expertise but also enjoy the wider resort experience: four Grand Hotels, seven restaurants (boasting six Michelin stars), two championship golf courses, curated art collections, and the serene Alpine setting that nurtures both body and mind. The result is a seamless blend of science, serenity, and Swiss precision.

 

THE LUXURY OF GROWING YOUNGER

The Tamina Health Center represents more than the launch of a new facility – it signals a paradigm shift in how we approach ageing. The team’s vision is to redefine wellness from a pampering escape into a proactive investment in future vitality.

With its pioneering diagnostics, expert medical team, and signature Longevity Program, the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz invites a new generation of health-minded travellers to experience the blend of Swiss medical excellence, Alpine tradition, and understated luxury that has made it an icon.

“Our mission is not to stop the clock,” says Dr Dopplinger. “It is to fill the years ahead with more energy, more clarity, and more quality of life.”

 

A NEW GLOBAL DESTINATION FOR PREVENTIVE HEALTH

As societies age and chronic lifestyle-related conditions continue to rise, the demand for evidence-based preventive health travel is accelerating. By uniting centuries-old thermal water heritage with cutting-edge longevity science under one roof, the Tamina Health Center positions Bad Ragaz among the world’s leading destinations for those seeking not just to extend life, but to enhance it.

In the tranquil rhythm of the Alps – amidst thermal steam, forest air, and quiet luxury – the promise of growing younger feels newly within reach.
