A holy trinity of relaxation, mountain adventure and alpine escapism. In Spa ski chalets the humble hot tub or sauna is a mere warm-up. In the finest chalet spas you'll find entire floors devoted to easing tension, purging toxins and steaming cares away.
Snooze in relaxation areas or re-unite body and soul in a yoga zone, while leaving the hard work (of attending to your personal wellness) to the professionals - many of the 5 star chalets have treatment rooms with in-house therapists.
