Bathing: Indoor / Outdoor

The springs of Pré-Saint-Didier, known since Roman times and developed for the Savoy court, emerge at around 37 °C beside the Verney gorge. The restored bath house sends the water through a sequence of indoor rooms and outdoor tubs, the highest of them looking straight at the Mont Blanc massif.
