Unfortunately, due to the danger of rockfalls behind the Büvetta Tarasp, access is currently not possible! (As of May 1, 2025)

Unfortunately, the drinking hall can currently only be viewed from the outside, but for many years it was considered the most important building for all guests coming to the Lower Engadine for a drinking cure.

Description
Baths and drinking cures are among the oldest known healing practices. Even the Romans loved and promoted bathing. Healing and pleasure went hand in hand. Thanks to the tectonic peculiarity of the "Lower Engadine Window," over 20 springs bubble up from the rock in Scuol-Tarasp and were mentioned by Paracelsus as early as 1533. Around 1843, a simple drinking hall (Romansh: Büvetta) was built, and just one year later, the Baedeker (literally "book of the day") drew attention to the place, but criticized the limited number of overnight accommodations.

The Golden Age
With the construction of the Tarasp spa, designed by the experienced hotel architect Felix Wilhelm Kubly, distinguished guests began to arrive. The hotel was ready for operation in 1864. The hotel offered 300 guest beds, the latest amenities, and the splendid halls and salons that sophisticated ladies and gentlemen needed for their appearances. Steam pumps carried the healing water directly into the spa's bathing facilities. This allowed guests to bathe comfortably in the side wing: "Steel baths with a high natural carbon dioxide content," as the advertisement promised. Inspired by the success of the spa, plans for the construction of a prestigious drinking hall were pushed forward. Between 1875 and 1876, the architect Bernhard Simon built an elongated promenade with shops arranged on the mountain side, large arched windows facing the Inn River, and, as the crowning glory, an octagonal, solidly built rotunda with festive columns on a high marble base for the three springs of Bonifacius, Emerita, and Lucius.

Built between 1874 and 1876, the Büvetta Tarasp is a refreshment bar created following the development of spa tourism in Nairs. Today, the building is listed as a historical monument, but it is still possible to sip a drink there while admiring the beautiful natural setting created by the Inn and the surrounding mountains.
