An oasis of well-being in the heart of the Valais Alps, where thermal water and history come together.
The thermal complex is usually open every day from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., although on Fridays and Saturdays it closes a bit later. To get there from Martigny, you can take the CarPostal bus, which drops you directly at the entrance; check the exact schedules on the official website.
Standard adult admission is around CHF 28–32, while children and seniors benefit from reduced rates. It is advisable to check the 'Entry Pack' offers, which sometimes include food; you can see the updated price list here: Saillon Thermal Baths Rates.
To make the most of the indoor pools, outdoor pools, and the famous 'Thermal River,' I recommend setting aside at least 3 to 4 hours. If you plan to include spa treatments or lunch, you should consider spending half a day or getting a full-day pass.
Yes, Saillon is a fascinating medieval village linked to the legend of Farinet, the famous counterfeiter who distributed money to the people. Although the baths are modern, they lie at the foot of historic vineyards and Bayart Tower, combining medieval history with contemporary wellness.
The most magical experience is in winter, when you can soak in hot water surrounded by snow, or at sunset to enjoy the evening lighting. To avoid crowds, try to go on weekdays or early in the morning, avoiding school holiday weekends.

Bring your own towel and bathrobe to avoid the rental costs at the venue, which are usually high. Also, bring a 2 or 5 CHF coin for the locker and, if you want to eat there, the complex restaurants offer good quality without needing to leave the premises.
