General informations on the thermal springs:
The thermal springs of Leukerbad have been used without interruption since Roman times. In Leukerbad 8 springs or groups of springs are currently used for wellness or energetic purposes. In total, approx. 65 thermal springs have been entered in a cadastre. They range from lukewarm percolation water outlets to the 51°C warm St. Lorenz spring, which has a very constant yield of approx. 900 l/min. 
Cable car of Gemmi: Even the Romans walked over the Gemmi Pass from the Bernese Mittelland to the main valley of the Valais. Later on, soldiers, pilgrims and traders followed in their footsteps. Many famous personalities like Mark Twain, Lenin and Pablo Picasso enjoyed this magnificent region.
 
Lindner Alpentherme. The Lindner Alpentherme in Leukerbad is Europe's largest high-altitude medical & Alpine wellness, beauty and thermal Spa.  
Until recently it was generally believed that the discovery of Leukerbad's medicinal springs and the settlement of the areas dated back merely to the 13th century.

However, this assumption was refuted not long ago, as a significant number of archeological finds was made at various sites in the Dala valley. This served to prove that Leukerbad and the region around the medicinal springs have already been populated in Roman-Helvetian times, at the latest in the 2nd century AD.
