Situated
in
Valdidentro, in the heart of Upper Valtellina, QC Terme Bagni
Vecchi are not to be missed. This spa resort has a beguiling ancient
charm that was praised by Pliny the Elder, and Leonardo Da
Vinci was also a fan.
Spending
a day pampering yourself at Bagni Vecchi is like taking a
step back in time.
The ancient Bagni Romani section is the oldest area of
the spa, with two side-by-side pools dug into the rock. The Bagni
dell’Arciduchessa zone includes a "rustic" tub, cold plunge pool, decongestant steam bath,
organic Alpine hay sauna, relaxation area and open-air tub. The Grotta
sudatoria di San Martino is a natural steam bath circuit
comprising two 50-m tunnels carved out of the rock. Inspired by the Middle
Ages, the exquisite Bagni Medievali area is
a detoxifying sauna circuit, while the Bagni Imperiali section
offers a combination of spa treatments and relaxation areas.
Whatever
the season, what makes the Bagni Vecchi really magical is the big
open-air pool and its stunning panoramic vistas of Bormio and surrounds.
Relaxation was never easier in the warm thermal waters of this pool with views
of the verdant Stelvio National Park. Alpine natives, such as the ibex,
can even be spotted from this strategic viewpoint!
Ancient
charm, relaxation and history: QC Terme Bagni Vecchi are a slice of paradise!
