Water profile
Soothing — neither hot nor cold, perfect balance.
Loaded with major ions — the essential minerals (Ca, Mg).
Soft water — natural, classic buoyancy.
On the border between Abruzzo and Molise, Terme Alte sits at 1,300 metres above sea level, fed by a spring rising at roughly 1,400 metres — among the highest thermal springs in Italy. Tucked into the mountains near Vastogirardi, in a still-wild setting, the water feeding it is sulphurous, bicarbonate and fluoride-rich, with a complete absence of calcium ions, a rare composition that sets this establishment apart from lowland spas.
A facility affiliated with Italy's national health service, Terme Alte has built its reputation around respiratory-focused treatments, drawing on the altitude and the purity of the alpine air that accompanies each stay. Set among the peaks and forests of Molise, it stands as an unusual thermal destination in central Italy.
