Hello,
My mother and I will be taking a one-way trip on the Bernina Express on our way from Zurich to Italy. I have always wanted to go a thermal spa in the Alps that has pools, massages, etc. It doesn’t have to be super “luxury” or fancy because we are not into the snooty scene, but has to be relaxing and clean with pretty views. I’m wondering what the best stopovers would be between Zurich and Chur or along the Bernina Express route that would offer this kind of thing. Somewhere accessible by train. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

The ‘obvious’ spa town (as its name suggests) between Zurich and Chur is Bad Ragaz (Bad = spa) .

It is dead easy to get to as the hourly route IR35 Aare Linth train service goes direct from Zurich to Bad Ragaz. Bad Ragaz is close enough to Chur to restart from there if you wanted to stay in the Spa hotel (although an early start at 07.41 would be needed to connect with the morning Bernina Express train from Chur.)
Or you could go go Zurich – Bad Ragaz early, visit the spa and continue to Chur for the night stop.
