Terme Merano draws its thermal water from Monte San Vigilio near Lana, about 8 km from Merano, where rainwater filtering through granite rock is enriched with radon, fluorine, and rare metals; it is collected in a 1,200-metre tunnel and piped to the spa. The water's medicinal use was formally approved by Italy's Ministry of Health in June 1966. Merano's spa tradition is older still — the historic Kurhaus opened in 1874 — while the current facility, designed by South Tyrolean architect Matteo Thun, opened in 2005. The water is used in inhalation and bathing therapies for chronic respiratory disease, rheumatic conditions, and allergic rhinitis under medical supervision.
Merano's spa tradition dates to the 19th century, marked by the 1874 opening of the historic Kurhaus. The current mineral water source at Monte San Vigilio was officially certified for medicinal use by Italy's Ministry of Health in 1966, and the present spa building, by architect Matteo Thun, opened in 2005.
