Bagni di Vinadio, elevation 1300 m, is a quaint village in the Stura Valley. Its location at the foot of Bravaria, San Bernolfo, Corborant, and Ischiator valleys makes it an ideal starting point for several wonderful excursions. The region was formed when an ancient alpine lake was filled by centuries of flood deposits leaving a plain surrounded by rocky mountains. The hot sulfur spring that gushes 70° C water from the mountain rock has been very famous since ancient times. The spa has hosted many notable historical figures such as Vittorio Amedeo of Savoy and Count Cavour. In the San Bernolfo valley not too far from Strepeis, you can find abandoned ancient Roman silver mines that were used up until the 19th century. A little further away from Bagni, flows the Sant’Anna di Vinadio mineral water spring.
