Reto Heeb, 27, Liechtenstein:
«I only weighed 58 kg after 24 days in a coma. I couldn’t walk or talk properly. You made me an independent, normally functioning person again. Thank you!»
Courage and strength from the mountains
915 m above sea level on a green terrace overlooking Bad Ragaz and Tamina Gorge is the mountain village of Valens situated. Breathtaking countryside with forests, meadows and mountains. There’s no question: Tamina Valley is one of the most beautiful areas in the Swiss Alps.This is the location of Klinik Valens, known internationally as one of Switzerland’s pre-eminent rehabilitation centres. We owe our excellent track record to a highly-trained team – and to an inspiring location that stimulates healing. We are also distinguished by a broad range of medical expertise. And finally, there is the thermal water from the famous Bad Pfäfers Spring: Pumped up 215 meters from the depths of the Tamina Gorge, it plays a key role in our treatment and therapy.
