MTZ Heilbad, St. Moritz
Forget candlelit massages and fluffy robes, MTZ Heilbad St. Moritz is all about serious body maintenance. This isn’t your typical spa as we might know it, it’s a full-blown therapy centre, tapping into the region’s legendary mineral-rich waters to purify, regenerate, and balance. St. Moritz has been a healing hotspot since Roman times, thanks to its naturally fizzy, iron-laden springs. Today, Heilbad harnesses that power through carbonated mineral baths, oxygen therapy, lymphatic drainage, and physiotherapy – ideal for skiers looking to recover or optimise performance. There’s hydrotherapy to boost circulation, mud wraps to detox, physiotherapy and even altitude training to help you push harder on the slopes.

Simply kick back in outdoor spa and soak up the panoramic vistas, or knock out a few post-ski lengths in the 25m-long outdoor pool. The Felsentherme is great for families too, with an Adventure Spa for those whose legs aren’t worn out by a day on the slopes. There’s a toddler pool, water slide, and even a magical rock grotto with an impressive thermal waterfall. Perfect for those looking to recharge, or for families who want a down day from the slopes.

Chalet Orca, Val d’Isère
After a big day on the mountain in Val d’Isère, there’s no better place to kick back than the spa at Chalet Orca. This luxury pad in Le Fornet isn’t just about the ski-in/ski-out access, it’s got a seriously indulgent wellness setup that takes après to a whole new level. We’re talking a heated indoor pool, a bubbling jacuzzi, and a steam room and sauna to sweat out the day’s efforts. If you’ve still got energy to burn, there’s a fully kitted-out gym, but let’s be real, you’ll probably be sinking into the jacuzzi with a glass of something cold. With killer views and five-star comfort, Chalet Orca gets a thumbs up from us, because skiing hard should mean recovering in style.
Alpine charm with a St Tropez twist – Chalet White Sands brings the beach to the mountain. This extraordinary spa chalet is complete with its own real sand beach on the shores of an indoor/outdoor swimming pool. Think driftwood, hammocks, sun loungers – the full French Riviera inside your cosy mountain lodge. There’s also a fully equipped gym for warming up or stretching out after a day on the slopes, plus a sauna, steam room, relaxation zone, and treatment area where you can enjoy a massage. The chalet itself is equally swish, hosting up to 12 adults and three children across six floors (connected by a lift, of course). It even has its own 100m² indoor pétanque pitch, cinema room, arcade, and a bar. To be clear, there’s no need to go skiing at all.
If you like your spa time with a side of rustic Alpine charm, Chalet Spa Verbier has got you covered.

Inside, you’ll find a steam room, sauna, and a 10m heated pool, with a unique purification process to minimise chemicals, so you can unwind without that overpowering chlorine hit. Add in panoramic mountain views, roaring log fires, and plush loungers, and you’ve got the ultimate post-powder recovery zone.
