Thermal Waters Draw Olympians and Spectators Alike

The thermal waters of the Italian Alps have long been famous for their restorative attributes, attracting elite athletes who participate in the Winter Games. These athletes visit the hot springs not only for relaxation but also for the well-documented benefits such as inflammation reduction. Over two weeks of Olympic events in Bormio, spectators joined locals in exploring the pleasant warmth of these waters at locations like the ancient Bagni Vecchi and Bagni Nuovi spas. In the tranquil landscape of Stelvio National Park, hidden springs such as 'Leonardo’s well' provide secluded retreats discovered by word of mouth. As winter sports enthusiasts experienced these natural wonders, the region reaffirmed its name as 'the wellness mountain.'
