Diavolezza jacuzzi bath at 3,000m

The Diavolezza is a real all-rounder of a mountain, which combines the five elements to dramatic effect. Pure alpine air at 3,000 metres; climbing routes above the void, and hiking trails that explore the subtle boundary between earth and sky; fire at Europe’s highest barbecue picnic site close by. But water has a very special treat in store here…

… in the form of Europe’s highest-altitude open-air hot tub, which offers a view that would floor you – were you not already stretched out in bubble-filled bliss. Located on the sun terrace of the Berghaus Diavolezza mountain hotel, the hot tub promises sublime views of the snowy peaks and sparkling glaciers of the Bernina massif, including the mighty Piz Palü, at which you could gaze for hours.

Hot tip

The water in the wood-fired hot tub soothes body and soul at a delicious 41 degrees, while the air – notably in the evening – can cool to temperatures bordering on icy. After an energetic excursion in the mountains, especially, the combination of heat and cold is wonderfully relaxing. Not surprisingly, this heavenly experience is a hot favourite: reservations are required.
