The Emilian Apennines hides an extraordinary resource among its landscapes: thermal waters. These natural, mineral-enriched sources offer a wide range of health benefits, from diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties, to supporting the musculoskeletal system and treating respiratory and dermatological conditions.

Among the most important spa destinations, in the Reggio Emilia Apennines we find the Cervarezza Thermal Baths, open from 15 April to 15 November each year, which stand out for the uniqueness of their natural context and their medium-mineral bicarbonate-sodium waters, ideal for mud therapy treatments, curative baths and inhalation treatments. In the heart of the Ceno Valley , more precisely in the Stirone Valley, Salsomaggiore and Tabiano, among the best known and with a long tradition in Italy, shine for their salsobromoiodic and sulphurous waters, perfect for taking care of the breath and the skin. In Medesano, the salty-bromine-iodine and sulphurous-calcic waters of the Terme di Sant’Andrea promise relief to those suffering from osteo-muscular-articular and dermatological diseases.

The Val d’Arda and the Trebbia Valley reveal uncontaminated scenery and waters with a rich mineral content. Although the Baths of Bacedasco are closed, the area remains witness to the prestige of its sulphurous waters, recognized since the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900. The Carlone Waterfall and the Rio Foino pool, with their salt-iodine thermal waters accessible to all, offer a direct immersion in the therapeutic virtues of this land near Bobbio.

This heritage, enriched by the stories of ancient Roman and Lombard baths, invites you on a journey of discovery and well-being, revealing the Emilian Apennines as a must-visit destination for those seeking health and inspiration in nature.
