When the white slopes of Val Thorens meet the luxury of five-star hotels, it creates an unforgettable experience that goes beyond just skiing. In the heart of the French Alps, during our recent trip, we found three exceptional resorts that excel not only in hospitality and comfort but also in their unique wellness offerings. Each hotel offers a special spa experience that washes away the fatigue of the slopes and rejuvenates the body and mind. Let us take you on a journey through these three luxurious wellness destinations, where each spa tells its own story.
Altapura, an ice palace of wellness and relaxation
Altapura: Luxury and tranquility above the clouds
From the moment we stepped inside Altapura, we felt the regal allure exuded by this five-star hotel. With its location at 2,300 meters, Altapura offers breathtaking views of the snow-capped mountain peaks. The true crowning glory of the hotel, however, is its spa, in partnership with French luxury beauty brand Codage. Treatments are customized and promise to restore the body and mind after a day on the slopes. The pool, with its alluring outdoor area, offers a unique opportunity to bathe with a view of the passing chairlifts and endless snowfields. The wet sauna, in addition to the classic Finnish sauna, offers deep relaxation, while the indoor Igloo offers a playful but refreshing cool down after the heat.
