Ski and Spa Holidays

Ski and spa holidays offer a unique and relaxing break, combining the exhilarating fast-pace of a winter sport with the benefits of therapeutic treatments to soothe aching muscles and rejuvenate the soul. A session in a warm jacuzzi or a soothing massage can be just the thing to help relax and unwind after the frenetic pace of the days activity, with increasing numbers enjoying the benefits of a ski and spa holiday each year.

 

There are a number of options available for a ski and spa holiday, with some resorts ideally positioned next to mineral springs, and others being home to luxurious spa hotels with extensive facilities. Megeve is one of the most popular choices for a ski and spa holiday, being an attractive mountain village with spectacular scenery, and a charming town centre oozing with Alpine charm. At 1,100m, and with 445km of piste spread over 3 mountains, Megeve offers the perfect combination of a ski and spa holiday, boasting a number of luxury spa hotels, and access to thermal hot springs in the nearby village of St. Gervais. Other ski resorts offering ski and spa holidays include Brides-les-bains, with natural mud baths and a holistic health centre, and Courchevel 1850, home to a number of hotels with spa facilities, with the prestigious Swiss resort of St. Moritz also known for its luxury accommodation and highly-rated spas. Austria is a great choice for a ski and spa holiday, with resorts in the Gastein Valley, such as Bad Gastein and Bad Hofgastein, being well-known spa towns with therapeutic waters and mineral springs. For those looking for a ski and spa holiday further afield, Banff in Canada boasts natural hot springs, as well as its fantastic ski areas of Lake Louise, Sunshine Village and Ski Norquay.

 

Ski and spa holidays feature facilities such as swimming pools, jacuzzis, whirlpools and saunas, all of which provide relaxation when the slopes close, and great activities for non-skiers. As well as the usual beauty treatments such as wraps, facials and massages, ski and spa holidays can offer specialist items such as flotation beds and holistic treatments such as reflexology and stone therapy.
