Pictured below is the Google Earth view of the spa complex surrounded by the resort.
Therme Vals can be identified by the small square of blue and the geometric patches of grass. Notice how the buildings seem to be built around the complex, as if the spa was built before the hotel. Also, the aerial view deceptively displays the roof of the building as part of the hill. Therefore, looking from above, the viewer would not suspect a spa is burrowed inside the hillside. In addition, the complex is surrounded by forest and valleys spotted with houses. The grassy rooftop of the spa blends with the natural surroundings while the geometric pattern is reminiscent of the hard lines of the stone structure.
