San Pellegrino Terme, nestled in the mountains of Val Brembana, is the perfect place to relax and unwind — a day spent between thermal baths, Liberty-style architecture, and nature. Here in Val Brembana, we’ve learned that the most beautiful things are often the simplest: a soak in warm thermal waters, a walk among elegant buildings, a trail leading up into the mountains.
In this guide, we’ll show you what to do and see in San Pellegrino Terme and the surrounding area — from QC Terme to underground caves, from the historic Liberty-style Casino to panoramic hiking trails. All the main attractions you can visit during your stay, including where to stop for a traditional cookie and a taste of local flavors.
QC Terme San Pellegrino
San Pellegrino’s thermal water is known for its health benefits, and QC Terme is the reason many visitors come here — and rightly so! Panoramic pools overlooking the valley, warm saunas, and wellness paths, all set in a stunning Belle Époque atmosphere. If you’re staying at Hotel Bigio, you’ll receive a discount voucher for entry.
Municipal Casino
The Municipal Casino is one of those buildings that makes you look up in awe the moment you see it. Built between 1904 and 1906, it’s a stunning jewel of Liberty (Art Nouveau) architecture, reflecting San Pellegrino’s golden era. While it no longer functions as a casino, it’s open for guided visits on Tuesdays and Thursdays, giving you a chance to admire its lavish interiors, frescoes, and the grand staircase that seems designed to make anyone climbing it feel important.
Grand Hotel
Facing the Brembo River, the Grand Hotel is another symbol of San Pellegrino’s Belle Époque. Though no longer operating, its beautifully restored façade is well worth a stop — and a photo or two. A proud reminder of the town’s glorious past, when guests from all over Europe came here for wellness and elegance.
Grotte del Sogno (Dream Caves)
Looking to amaze the kids or try something different? The Grotte del Sogno are perfect for a bit of adventure. Discovered in 1931, these caves offer an underground trail through stalactites and stalagmites — an experience that blends nature and exploration in a unique way.
Brembano Museum of Natural Sciences
Located in the heart of town, the Brembano Museum showcases the flora, fauna, and geology of the Brembana Valley. A great way to understand the land you’re exploring — and uncover fascinating local curiosities you might never expect.
Trails in the Orobie Pre-Alps
The scenic trails around San Pellegrino offer something for everyone — from seasoned hikers to those who prefer a gentle walk. What’s the reward for everyone? Breathtaking views over the entire valley.
And if you want to do things right, just ask at the Hotel Bigio reception — we’ll prepare a picnic basket with local specialties to make your day trip even better.
Explore the Valley by Bike
Prefer two wheels? The cycling path that follows the old railway line runs along the Brembo River — a flat, family-friendly route that lets you explore the valley at your own pace. We offer bike rentals directly at the hotel, so you can head out and return whenever you like.
It’s All Waiting for You Here
San Pellegrino blends history, culture, and wellness with the kind of natural charm that makes every visit special.
