✨ What makes it special here

The Bains des Rives are a club, not a spa, and call themselves a «lieu de bien-être convivial». There is a buvette and even a running club: run along the lake, get in the water, then into the yurt.

One detail worth knowing: the 10-visit card stays at the old price of CHF 190 until 31 October 2026, then rises to CHF 210. Buy in October and you save twenty francs.

How we check

Every date comes from the organiser's, the municipality's or the canton's own site — never from an aggregator, never copied over from last year. Next to each source is the date we last read it.

Where only a fixed rule is published, such as the eve of St Nicholas' Day, we work out the date and label it “calculated from the fixed rule”. Anything not yet published stays open — we don't guess.

Something missing or changed? A note below is enough; we check it at the source.
