Terme di Lurisia Centro Benessere is a radium spring wellness facility in Lurisia in the Cuneo Province of Piedmont, set in the Maritime Alps at the edge of the Alpi Marittime Natural Park, one of the largest protected areas in the western Alps whose forests, glacial cirques, and high-altitude meadows shelter extraordinary botanical and faunal biodiversity in a cross-border protected landscape shared between Italy and France. The Lurisia mineral waters — branded and bottled as one of Italy's premium natural mineral waters since the early 20th century — are distinguished by their extremely low mineral content combined with a naturally occurring radon radioactivity that has made the Lurisia springs recognized in Italian thermal tradition within the broader European culture of radon-spring bathing established around Marie Curie's radium research at the turn of the 20th century. The radon-calcium spring waters of Lurisia emerge from the granitic geology of the Maritime Alps in a setting that combines the scientific heritage of radium spring history with the spectacular natural landscape of one of the most biodiverse mountain ranges in the western Mediterranean, offering wellness bathing in a Piedmontese Alpine spa of genuine distinction in a natural setting of remarkable ecological richness and Alpine mountain beauty.

Insider tip — Terme di Lurisia in the Maritime Alps foothills of Piedmont is prized for its weakly radioactive radon-bearing oligomineral waters, among Europe's most notable natural mineral springs. The mountain setting at 750 metres elevation keeps the air crisp even in summer. The 1920s liberty-style bathing halls retain their original mosaic floors and vaulted ceilings — a beautifully atmospheric place for a restorative wellness stay.
