In Predoi, a mine out of service was transformed into a therapy centre for people with respiratory conditions
Image gallery: Climatic Gallery of Predoi
Speleotherapy is a particular therapy carried out in a cavern, or, more precisely, in a tunnel out of use of the Predoi mine characterised by a special microclimate which is beneficial for people with respiratory conditions. In this place deep inside the mountains 1.1 km from daylight, visitors can relax in a quiet place and recharge their energy.
"I breathe" is the motto of the climate centre of Predoi, which is, however, not exclusively dedicated to allergic and asthmatic patients but to people with all types of respiratory disorders, including hay fever. Already after a few sessions in the gallery patients witness a considerable improvement in their symptoms. The climate centre near the Show Mine of Predoi is one of South Tyrol's museums devoted to mining activity. We recommend concluding the visit with a break at the Ignazstube restaurant.
