Wellness, nature, history
from the 1st century B.C.
The Hot Water Springs of Bormio derive from 9 sources situated on the mountainside of the Dolomite rocks of Mount Reit inside the Monumental Park of Bagni di Bormio, at variable altitudes, varying from 1280 to 1420 metres a.s.l The mineral water, which is one of the very few Hot Mineral Springs in the area south of the Alps, wells up at a temperature from 36° to 43° C, depending on the season: hotter in Winter, because the ground ice does not allow the infiltration of rainwater; variable temperature in Summer, in relation to the atmospheric rainfall.
Chemical characteristics:
Hyper thermal water, sulphate, alkaline, earthy, with traces of radioactivity (radon).
Qualities:
Detoxifying, regenerating, relaxing, anti-stress and anti-inflammatory for a complete return to form.
The beneficial qualities of the water come from microscopic and health-giving suspended sulphur-bacteria (natural mud) that, with its peeling effect, render the skin smoother and velvety.
At the Bagni di Bormio, in respect of the natural cures, the health-giving properties of the water are not altered by chemicals: every bath is fed by flowing Hot Spring water without added chlorine.
