Centro Balneare Termale Acquarossa

Centro Balneare Termale Acquarossa is a ferruginous mineral spa in Acquarossa, the main village of the Blenio Valley (Valle di Blenio) in the canton of Ticino, a traditional Ticinese valley of granite communities, chestnut forests, and rushing mountain streams that has been a walking and nature destination for Zurich and Lugano residents since the 19th century. The iron-rich ferruginous spring waters have been appreciated within a long thermal tradition since the spa's formal establishment, drawing guests to this remote Ticinese valley where the mineral springs complement the valley's extraordinary natural character. The Valle di Blenio's traditional stone buildings, Romanesque churches, and autumn chestnut roasting festivals create one of Italian Switzerland's most authentically traditional rural atmospheres. Centro Balneare Termale Acquarossa offers a genuinely off-the-beaten-path Swiss thermal experience in a valley landscape of quiet pastoral beauty far from the glamour of the more famous Swiss resorts.
