Bormio is known not only for its rich history and traditional mountain activities such as skiing and hiking, but also for its thermal springs that gush from the depths of the earth.
The history of the thermal springs
The thermal baths in Bormio have a long history, dating back to Roman times. The Romans were the first to recognise the healing effects of the local springs and Bormio became an important spa town. Over the centuries, the spa has grown and modernised while retaining its traditional charm and connection with nature.
The natural wealth and effects of the water
The thermal springs that feed Bormio Terme spring from more than 1 200 metres below the surface and reach temperatures of up to 41 °C. The water is rich in sulphur, bicarbonate, sodium and other minerals, giving it unique therapeutic properties. A regular visit to these baths can help treat skin problems, rheumatic sweats andrheumatic complaints, muscular injuries, but also provides relief from stress and general exhaustion.
Modern equipment
The Bormio Terme complex combines traditional spa treatments with modern wellness services, which is why it is so attractive. Here you will find several pools with thermal water, saunas, steam baths, whirlpools and relaxation zones with views of the surrounding mountains. Special treatments such as mud wraps, massages, aromatherapy and physiotherapy are also included.
For families with children, there is a range of activities, including a children's pool and water games. On the other hand, for those looking for peace and relaxation, there is a quiet zone with massage jets and a pleasant atmosphere.
Bormio Terme and surroundings

In the winter months, it is possible to enjoy great skiing on the slopes of the Bormio ski resort, which also hosts international races.
