Fodor's Expert Review Spa Nescens

An architecturally splendid indoor swimming pool with columns rising from the water is the anchor of the Victoria-Jungfrau's spa, a sprawling wellness playground spanning 59,000 square feet. Whether it's sunny or snowy, the outdoor saltwater pool with a view of Harder Kulm is a particular treat. Adjacent to the indoor pool, the "heat experience zone"—referring to the saunas and steam baths—features walnut trim, iridescent tiles, and flickering candles. The science of antiaging is the focus of the treatments on offer. There are separate facilities for men and women, but couples can reserve the private spa and enjoy a few romantic hours together. A well-equipped gym, tennis courts, and a fitness studio with daily group classes provide the chance to exercise, and a small bistro serves light meals.
