Uriage-les-Bains

Uriage-les-Bains (or Uriage) is a spa town in France, at 414 m (1,358 ft) above sea level.

Uriage is attached to the communes of Saint-Martin-d'Uriage and Vaulnaveys-le-Haut and is located in the department of Isère, beneath the ski resort of Chamrousse.

The Romans built baths to enjoy the anti-rheumatic properties of the springwater.

They ventured up to the Croix de Chamrousse, at the foot of which, in 1856, eight Roman bronze medals were found.

Uriage thermal water contains sulphide and salt, and has a molecular concentration similar to that of human blood serum, which is unique in the world and allowed to be administered directly in intra-muscular injections.
