51 °C straight from the rock.
Our thermal water rises from the Leukerbad spring at around 51 °C — straight from the rock, untreated, rich in calcium and fluoride. Known for its healing effect for centuries.
From 1865 poorhouse to today's foundation.
The house stands on foundations from 1865 — built as a poorhouse with baths, so that even the poor could use the springs. From this root grew today's Stiftung 51°.
A family on behalf of the foundation.
Sandra and Didier Grichting run the house as managing directors on behalf of Stiftung 51°. No private corporation, no anonymous chain. A house with heritage and purpose.
Small & refined
A small house. A great water.
Small and refined — we mean it literally. 38 rooms, mostly Junior Suites and single rooms, plus doubles and family rooms. No mass tourism, no long corridors, no bed factory with name plates on every door.
Our spa is not a separate building across the street. It is part of the house. What that means for you: no travel, no juggling with opening hours, no changing in crowded locker rooms. From your room to the thermal pool it’s a few steps in a bathrobe.
The tone in here is quiet. No slides, no entertainment programme, no queues at the buffet. Those looking for an adventure spa are in the wrong place — and we say so on purpose. Those looking for quiet, natural water and a personal tone are in the right place. That’s the niche we occupy, since 2018 as an officially rated 4-star house.

What that means for you
Why a hotel with its own thermal spring.
24 hours in bathrobe range
From your room to the thermal pool it’s a few steps, not a drive. No changing in crowded locker rooms. No time slot, no reservation. Between 07:30 and 19:30 you enter and leave as often as you like.
Original thermal water from the rock
Our water rises at around 51°C from the spring. Not reheated, not chemically mixed — a calcium-sulphate spring, fluoride-rich, straight from the mountain into our pools. Leukerbad produces four million litres per day: one of the most abundant thermal springs in the Alps.
Quiet, not busy
Small house. No slides. No entertainment programme. Families are welcome — the textile zone is chosen intentionally so that parents with children feel at ease — but those seeking party wellness will not find it here. That’s on purpose.
After the tour: arrive warm
Gemmi hike, via ferrata, Torrent biking, a ski day — sore muscles show no mercy. Here you go straight from hiking boot to bathrobe: the 51° natural water undoes what the day left behind. No travel, no opening-hours panic. Ideas for the day outside →
