The panoramic baths overlooking Mont Blanc, with their saunas, waterfalls and sensory paths, are a unique experience, especially when combined with a walk in the Orrido di Verney, a spectacular gorge carved out over the centuries by the tireless force of water. Not far away, Courmayeur completes the picture with its mineral springs which are among the purest in the Alps.

But wellness in Valle d'Aosta does not only pass through the spas. Cogne, in the Gran Paradiso National Park, offers wilder emotions like the Cascate di Lillaz waterfalls, the Valnontey stream, and mountain trails that are the essence of a kind of relaxation that comes from direct contact with water and nature. Brusson, in Val d'Ayas, has ferruginous springs immersed in the woods, which are part of the “Acqua Viva” project.
