A new indoor swimming pool, spa and sports centre will open on 5 July 2014 after 26 months of construction work in the resort town of St Moritz, Switzerland.

The Ovaverva is themed around the three states of water - gas, solid and liquid – with amenities including a wellness area, pools, a fitness centre, a cross country ski and outdoor sport centre and a restaurant.

The 1,620sq m (17,437sq ft) wellness area includes a ladies spa, mixed sauna facilities, a relaxation pool and room, six treatment rooms and a wellness bar.

Kneipp hydrotherapy treatments, massages and organic, herbal, stone oven and Finnish saunas are on offer as well as a Rosatschbad (a large spa pool) to provide recreation and relaxation.

The facility offers 3,200sq m (34,444sq ft) of indoor pools, including a 915sq m (9,848sq ft) water area, 25m pool, diving pool, non-swimmers pool, children’s pool, outdoor pool with bubble jets and a tower with three water slides.

Ovaverva, which is spread over four floors, will be environmentally friendly and was designed by a consortium of architects made up of Swiss-based Bearth & Deplazes and Morger + Dettli.
