Arriving for treatment in Bad Ragaz, the resort guests simply have to take with them a hat, evening dress or jacket - otherwise much of the pleasures of this fashionable town will pass by (and take place with a rather snobbish view). This is both the dignity and the lack of a resort. Yes, it is nice to lead the idle life of a respectable bourgeois. And no, to go out in the evening to light anyhow what will not be possible - Moveton.
But first-class spa complexes, the miraculous power of local sources and picturesque nature more than compensate for all the shortcomings. And what kind of lady or gentleman will they deny themselves the pleasure of wearing a beautiful outfit and peeking into a casino, having supper in an exquisite restaurant or trying on the role of a famous golf player?
