Terme di Acquarossa in the Blenio valley of Ticino is one of Switzerland's most charming and least-known thermal secrets — sulphurous springs at 28°C tucked deep in an Italian-speaking Alpine valley of extraordinary natural beauty and architectural heritage. The valley's stone villages, their grey gneiss rooftops and Romanesque churches, have been preserved in an almost medieval state of rural isolation, and the small spa establishment maintains the unhurried character of a traditional Swiss-Italian cure resort. The Blenio valley connects Ticino with the Lukmanier Pass, one of the oldest transalpine routes, and the surrounding landscape of chestnut forests, rushing torrents and granite peaks is genuinely spectacular. Acquarossa offers a total contrast to the large, commercialised spa resorts of Switzerland's German-speaking regions.
