Pré-Saint-Didier Thermal Spa, with a view of the Mont Blanc massif, is one of the two spas in the Aosta Valley.
Relax in front of the Mont-Blanc
Even under heavy snowfall, here you can also relax outdoors, in a natural setting of great beauty. The spa garden, in fact, offers three outdoor thermal pools and saunas in wooden huts, with panoramic windows on the Mont Blanc chain.
The location is ideal for celebrating special occasions and the entrance to the spa is an unusual and welcome gift idea in every season.
The wellbeing route
The wellbeing route includes numerous practices which range from whirlpool baths at variable intensities to relaxing baths with still water and sub aqueous music, toning cascades, themed saunas in wooden chalets, aromatic steam baths, a mud-treatment area, colour therapy rooms, aromatherapy rooms, relaxing rooms for admiring the views and much, much more.
Experienced therapists practice relaxing and invigorating massages. During the day, sessions to learn relaxation techniques and exercises, beauty masks and aromatic peeling treatments are organised.
Access to the spa requires a reservation that can be made online. Children under the age of 14 are not allowed.
Thermal springs with 1000 years of history
The natural springs of Pré Saint Didier flow inside a cave at the base of the Orrido Waterfall, not far from the thermal spa.
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”.
In fact, the first tourism in the Aosta Valley 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 Aosta Valley, hosting illustrious personalities and becoming the favourite holiday destination for the Italian royal family. Completely restored after more than 30 years of closure, the spa of Pré-Saint-Didier has returned to its former glory, preserving the architecture of that period.
