I understand the baths at Llo are open all year. You could combine it with some skiing/snow shoeing.

Thanks very much for that Helen . That is certainly a new thing. It used to close from Nov right through to March.

You don't happen to know if they'll be doing the "Aquarelax" forfaits from next week ,do you ?

Thermal Baths

Post by Jenny Rhodes »

I like the baths at Llo. They have an indoor pool as well as an outdoor pool two jacuzzis a hammam and a sauna. All very clean. There is an outdoor Roman bath at Dorres where the water is a few degress hotter but the facilities are not so good.

Hi Folks, going to pop up to baths at St Thomas. I remember the approach road to it is narrow. Is there snow on the roads around there or is the snow line higher up
Thanks

I find it disappointing that the thermes do not offer the option of bathing "au naturel" from time to time. Nothing worse than sitting in a sweat-soaked swim costume in the sauna. Yuck! Please take a clue from our northern European brothers and sisters ans strip it off! :shock:
