The spas of Bormio: Bagni Vecchi and Bagni Nuovi, how to choose
Bormio has been a land of hot springs for more than two thousand years: Leonardo da Vinci, in the Codex Atlanticus, already wrote «A Bormi sono i bagni» (In Bormio there are the baths). Today the two historic facilities, QC Spa Bagni Vecchi and QC Spa Bagni Nuovi, are run by QC Terme and are located in the municipality of Valdidentro, a few minutes from Bormio, in the Stelvio National Park. Here is how to choose and plan your day.
QC Spa Bagni Vecchi
The oldest baths: a journey back to the origins of wellbeing among ancient rituals, pools and saunas. The naturally hot thermal water flows from several springs in the Park. From the pools you can see the Vallecetta and the glaciers of Cima Piazzi.
- Admission: according to the official website it includes the wellness circuit (38 treatments), towel, bathrobe, slippers and the evening aperitivo.
- Children: the official website states that under-14s and pregnant women are not admitted to the wellness centre.
QC Spa Bagni Nuovi
A sensory circuit with panoramic dips, relaxation corners and a tree house, set in the Park.
- Admission: according to the official website it includes 35 wellness treatments, towel, bathrobe, slippers and the evening aperitivo.

Planning your day
- Book: admission depends on availability; check and book on the official website.
- Opening hours: they are published on the official website and may change on public holidays and long weekends: check them before you leave.
- Getting there: the spas are outside Bormio’s centre. For connections see Getting to and around Bormio.
- Combinations: a morning in the valley and an afternoon at the spa; in autumn see Bormio: foliage and the deer rut.
- If it rains: the spas are the first idea; more in Bormio in the rain.
