Discover Pré-Saint-Didier: Thermal Baths, Gorge and Culture
Accommodation in Pré-Saint-Didier
Thermal Waters and Orrido
The Pré-Saint-Didier thermal baths include a visitor route with 18 stations. Water features, light and colors shape the individual stations and give the visit a clearly structured sequence. The thermal water of Pré-Saint-Didier emerges at 37°C from a cave at the foot of the Orrido di Pré-Saint-Didier. The Orrido di Pré-Saint-Didier is a narrow, deep gorge formed in the rock by the constant flow of the mountain stream.

Trails and Adventures in the Terrain
A hiking trail to the Orrido di Pré-Saint-Didier begins near the old bridge over the Dora di Verney and leads uphill through the forest in about 40 minutes. The approximate duration and ascent help you take this route into account as a separate part of your day's planning on site. Planning therefore involves not only the destination but also the uphill forest section. At Mont Blanc Adventure Park, the zip line is 130 meters long and 188 meters high; it runs over the Orrido di Pré-Saint-Didier. The forest trail leads to the Orrido, while the zip line at Mont Blanc Adventure Park crosses the gorge there. Mont Blanc Adventure Park also offers courses of varying difficulty for children, teenagers and adults. The range is therefore not limited to a single age group or level of difficulty.
Archaeology and Sacred Art
The Bois de Montagnoulaz archaeological site in Pré-Saint-Didier was opened to the public at the end of 2022. In the parish church of San Lorenzo, the main portal is crowned by a wooden depiction of Saint Lawrence. This depiction was created by local craftsman Ottavio Grange. The two cultural sites have different focuses: Bois de Montagnoulaz represents archaeology, while the portal of San Lorenzo represents a specific piece of craftsmanship.
