DOWNLOAD LE MAGAZINE 2020 DE VALS LES BAINS 

The Vals-les-Bains diabetes resort has been recognised nationally and across Europe since 1845; it boasts a team of medical and paramedical experts and a range of specialised equipment.

The resort was built under the leadership of Professor Dupasquier more than two centuries ago and was entirely renovated in 2004 and 2017. The thermal facilities benefit from a large variety of mineral waters. They are rich in sodium bicarbonate and are highly mineralised (between 1 and 10 g/litre) and are used by the medical profession for drinking cures.
