Frequently asked questions about mountain thermal baths and spa resorts

Which are the best-known mountain spa resorts?

Băile Herculane (the oldest, thermal sulphurous waters), Vatra Dornei and Băile Tușnad (carbonated waters and mofettes), Sovata (Bear Lake, heliothermal), Covasna (cardiovascular mofettes), Borsec, Slănic Moldova and Praid (salt mine) are among the best known in the mountain area.

What conditions are treated at spa resorts?

It varies from resort to resort — rheumatism, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive or recovery conditions. Our indications are indicative; always consult a balneology doctor before a treatment course.

Can you visit thermal baths year-round?

Yes. Unlike skiing or hiking, spa tourism works in every season — a good option even off-peak (November–March), when mountain resorts are quieter.

What is a mofette?

A mofette is a natural carbon-dioxide emanation used therapeutically (mainly for cardiovascular conditions) at resorts such as Covasna, Băile Tușnad and Vatra Dornei.
