And I see that there are hot springs in the area; must be a very interesting resort region.

there it's cold...temperatures for the 80% are below zero during this period...that villages reach -10° easily (altitude: 1200-1300 metres asl). few kms from there, there's Livigno. it's a wonderful alpine town of over 6000 inhabitants set at 1850 metres abl that is the coldest town of Italy. last February reached -31°

Livigno:
