ValVital owner of the Thermes de Vernet-les-Bains Rheumatism, Respiratory Tracts & Well-Being.
Since April 28, 2023, the ValVital group has owned the Thermes de Vernet-les-Bains in the Pyrénées Orientales.
Bought from the Defouilloy family, the thermal baths will remain in the bosom of a group that is certainly specialized (second largest in France in terms of hydrotherapy), but above all, a family group.
Thus, "the values and practices that gave the Vernet establishment its cachet, its charm and the reputation of a spa on a human scale", where respect for the patient is a priority, remain predominant for the new owner.
The thirty employees (in season), reassured by the speech of this group “proud to have gone through the Covid without a single dismissal”, is at the heart of all the challenges. Public health bet first, because hydrotherapy, beyond care, is also and above all in health prevention, comfort, calm, serenity and leisure.
Environmental bet, where in the news, it is advisable to manage these hot waters as well as possible and for the common good.
Economic bet, employment, future. Despite the temporary administrative closure due to the pandemic, the group is one of the companies that have known and been able to bounce back.
This 15th spa resort of the group fits perfectly into its humanist vision.
A new challenge for the independent group ValVital which was created in 1989 in Lons-le-Saunier (Jura) by Bernard Riac.
It is also a transfer between two families who share the same values of respect for staff, an attachment to thermal medicine, with ambitious social and environmental objectives.
This new destination strongly strengthens the presence of ValVital in the Pyrenean massif after the takeover last February of the management of the thermal baths of Saint-Lary-Soulan in the Hautes-Pyrénées.
With its expertise in the management of thermal and well-being areas, as well as in hotel management, ValVital wishes to bring all its experience and personal touch to develop the Vernet site for both medical cures and well-being. , in order to accommodate more than 4,000 spa guests per season.
The thermal baths are, to date, an approved establishment for 450 curists/day (rheumatic and respiratory diseases), "mini-cures", specific treatments à la carte, relaxation or treatment days, a space well-being (sauna, jacuzzi, thermal pool, treatments, etc.), 12 rooms, 72 studios, a restaurant open to all with 45 seats, hairdressing, beauty and medical salons, products (cosmetics and treatments), etc. .
