Mountain spas in the Alps: prices, opening hours and where to go after skiing

Mountain spas keep a different season from those in the lowlands. Bormio, Pré-Saint-Didier and Merano stay open all winter and fill up in the evenings after skiing. Rabbi closes in September and reopens in spring. Valdieri and Vinadio, in Piedmont, have been closed for some time and have no published reopening date. For lowland and lakeside spas see the page on Northern Italy; for spa treatments covered by the national health service see the page on health.

The overview in one table

Bormio and Alta Valtellina

Bormio has three baths, and you should choose before you leave because their prices differ a great deal. The weekend in Alta Valtellina combines two of them.

QC Terme Bagni Vecchi is the oldest: grottoes carved into the rock, an outdoor pool overlooking the Bormio basin and the glaciers of the Piazzi group. The baths are of Roman origin. Admission includes the wellness treatments, towel, bathrobe, slippers and the evening aperitif. Opening hours: Monday to Friday 10:00-22:00, Saturday, Sunday and public holidays 9:00-22:00. In 2026 the centre is closed from 9 to 13 November.

QC Terme Bagni Nuovi lies further down the valley, at via Bagni Nuovi 7, and is a park in Liberty style with 40 treatments. Opening hours: Monday to Friday 11:00-22:00, Saturday, Sunday and public holidays 9:30-22:00.

Both use the same price list, which QC Terme publishes as "from" prices because they depend on the date and on availability: 5-hour admission from 58 euros, admission with no time limit from 72 euros, evening admission from 17:00 from 54 euros, "under the stars" admission from 19:30 from 44 euros. For two people with a massage, Bagni Nuovi starts at 232 euros. Children under 14 and pregnant women are not admitted; swimwear is compulsory.

Bormio Terme, at via Stelvio 14 in the village, is the cheapest option: the adult day ticket costs 28 euros and the family ticket (2 adults and 1 child) 74 euros. The water rises at 37-40 °C and contains no chlorine. The wellness circuit is open from 10:00 to 20:00, closed on Tuesdays (open on Tuesday 8 December); since 7 October it stays open until 22:00 on Wednesdays. The Vasca 4 Stagioni is closed for maintenance on 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12 and 13 November 2026.

Aosta Valley: Pré-Saint-Didier and Saint-Vincent

QC Terme Pré-Saint-Didier draws on a 37 °C spring that rises in a cave at the foot of Mont Blanc. Opening hours are long: Monday to Thursday and Sunday 9:00-22:00, Friday 9:00-23:00, Saturday 8:00-23:00. The price list is the same as Bormio's (from 58, 72, 54 and 44 euros for the four options), with a 25-minute massage from 118 euros and a couple with massage from 236 euros. Here too, children under 14 are not admitted. In winter it is the bath of choice for anyone who has been skiing at Courmayeur and La Thuile.

Terme di Saint-Vincent is a medical spa built around the Fons Salutis spring, with pools at 27-36 °C, a sauna and private suites. The 4-hour admission costs 49 euros from Monday to Friday and 59 euros on Saturday, Sunday and public holidays; in the evening (last 3 hours) 39 euros. From 24 December to 6 January prices rise to 65 euros (45 in the evening). For young people up to 13: 29.50 euros on weekdays, 42 euros at the weekend, 25 euros in the evening, 59 euros (39 in the evening) between Christmas and Epiphany. The minimum age is 10, you need an ID document at the entrance and reservation is compulsory. Opening hours: Monday to Thursday 10:00-21:00, Friday and Saturday 9:00-23:00, Sunday 9:00-21:00. The spa, at viale IV Novembre 100, is open every day of the year. The kit (bathrobe, towel and slippers) is not included and can be hired for 6, 5 and 4 euros. To stay until 18:00 with a light dish there is the All Inclusive option, with a supplement of 30 euros; on Friday and Saturday the day admission runs from 9:00 to 18:00 and the AperiTerme costs 12 euros.

South Tyrol: Merano

Terme Merano, at piazza Terme 9, is the easiest to reach: it is right in the town centre. The indoor pools are open every day from 9:00 to 21:00 (last entry at 19:00, out of the pools at 20:40); the park pools open from mid-May to mid-September.

Terme di Levico, at viale Vittorio Emanuele 10, works with Acqua Forte, a water that the operator describes as unique in Italy and rare in Europe, and for over 160 years it has offered treatments with baths, mud and aerosol.

How to combine skiing and spas

In Bormio the Valdidentro baths are a few kilometres from the village, and the evening option at 44 or 54 euros costs less than the daytime one. In Aosta Valley, Pré-Saint-Didier is close to Courmayeur and La Thuile. If you don't ski, Merano is the simplest, with prices from 19 euros. To spend less in Bormio choose the village spa; for the grotto and the panoramic pool, Bagni Vecchi.
