Resort description
Grand Hôtel & Centre Thermal Yverdon-les-Bains 4* is a historic thermal resort in Yverdon-les-Bains, on the southern shore of Lake Neuchâtel. The complex is situated on a sulphurous mineral spring. The water rises to the surface at a temperature of around 29°C and is heated in the pools to 34°C in winter and approximately 28°C in summer.
The thermal water of Yverdon-les-Bains is classified as a sulphide spring and contains sulphur, sodium, and other mineral components, making it particularly beneficial for joints, muscles, respiratory tract, and digestive system. Immersion in this water reduces stress on the musculoskeletal system, promotes muscle relaxation, and aids in programs for treating arthrosis, chronic pain, and recovery after prolonged exertion.
