The benefits of thermal baths

Thermalism is recognised by theWorld Health Organisation as a gentle and effective medical alternative. This natural medicine is suitable for patients who do not find sufficient relief with drug treatments, particularly for chronic illnesses.

Argelès-Gazost is located in the middle of the mountains, making it ideal for a combined thermo-climatic cure. This is an advantage for patients who are sensitive to the high altitude of other resorts or the high sulphur content of their water.

The spa is supplied by the large Gazost spring, known as “Hount Pudio”. Its sodium chloride-sulphur waters have been used and recognised for over a century for their therapeutic benefits.
