Termali Salini & Spa is a thermal facility in Locarno, in the canton of Ticino, Switzerland. Its salty, sodium-chloride water is heated to around 37°C. The site offers an indoor pool and an outdoor pool, near the shores of Lake Maggiore.
Insider tip — Termali Salini and Spa in Locarno perches above Lake Maggiore in Switzerland's Italian-speaking Ticino canton, offering one of Europe's most scenically dramatic thermal experiences. The saline thermal pools — some outdoor and heated, others cooled for contrast — shimmer against a backdrop of Alpine peaks and subtropical palms. The Mediterranean microclimate allows outdoor bathing well into autumn. Arrive at dusk to witness the lake turn gold as the sun drops behind the Monte Tamaro massif.
