Terme di Bormio in the Alta Valtellina draws on chloride thermal springs flowing continuously since Roman times — the Bagni Vecchi of Bormio are among the most historically documented thermal establishments in the Alpine arc, used by Roman legions traversing the Stelvio Pass and later said to have been visited by Leonardo da Vinci and patronised by Holy Roman Emperors and European aristocracy. The naturally warm chloride-saline waters, heated by deep circulation through the crystalline massif of the Ortler Alps, emerge at temperatures ideal for bathing and are enjoyed for relaxation, muscular comfort, and the immersive pleasure of historic mountain spa culture. Bormio's extraordinary Alpine position at the convergence of the Stelvio, Gavia, and Mortirolo mountain passes in the heart of the Stelvio National Park makes the Terme di Bormio one of the most scenically situated thermal spas in the entire Alpine chain, combining ski resort culture with two millennia of documented thermal bathing tradition.
