Pré-Saint-Didier Thermal Spa

An unforgettable atmosphere at the foot of Mont Blanc

1000 years of history
The springs in the area were already known in Roman times, but the systematic use of the waters of Pré-Saint-Didier began in the middle of the 1600s, when the first foreigners came to the Alpine basin to “take the waters”. The first tourism in the Valle d’Aosta was due to the therapeutic use of the thermal spas. It became most well-known in the period between the start of the 1800s and the first half of the 1900s: indeed, the construction of the thermal establishment dates back to 1834, while the building which hosts the Casino was built in 1888. For over 150 years the thermal spas were one of the main attractions of the Valle, hosting illustrious personalities and becoming the favourite holiday destination for the Italian royal family. After more than 30 years the thermal spas at Pré Saint Didier are re-opening; the intervention work has returned the thermal establishment to its past splendour, while preserving the architecture of the time.

The natural springs of Pré Saint Didier are located upstream of the Verney Torrent confluence and flow inside a cave at the base of the Orrido Waterfall.

An evocative walk in the water takes you to the gardens where three pools have been built, which are the boast of the entire complex. Here, you will be enraptured by the natural setting;

where you can take a dip in the hot water pools located in the solarium, even when there has been heavy snow and admire the view of the Mont Blanc Massif.

The outside pools offer sunlounger areas with whirlpool baths set to different parts of the body, energising sessions and relaxation areas. One turret of the building is dedicated to treatments where expert therapists give relaxing and toning massages for the whole body.
