Go outIn the Valley, while we know how to carve down the slopes, we also know just how to hit pause. Here are four sanctuaries of relaxation where you can let your stress simply melt away.
QC Spa of Wonders: If Alice in Wonderland went to the spa…
Spectacular panoramic pools to rival the view itself, saunas perfumed with alpine aromas, a star-lit hammam, enchanting relaxation lounges, and a lush indoor vertical garden.
The QC Spa of Wonders is the dream-like mountain chapter Lewis Carroll never wrote. Except this time, Alice doesn’t swallow two pieces of mushroom to slip through the looking glass — she simply sips a long cocktail from the lab, wrapped in her robe, during the Wonder Aperitivo, included in her fairytale wellness journey.

Lykke Hotel & Spa: Hygge, hugs, huge chill
At the Lykke, step into a modern Nordic fairytale filled with tales of treetops, trolls, and forest spirits, all within a serene, natural-toned setting.
Legend has it that when creating the beauty and well-being rituals for Cinq Mondes Spa, its founder journeyed across five continents to study traditional healing and ancestral plant secrets.
The sensory escape continues at Kaffe & Kro, where comfort food meets Scandinavian flavour.
“Lykke” means happiness in Danish — so consider yourself warned.

Deep Nature Spa at Les Granges d'En Haut: Take a deep breath
In Les Houches, each of the fourteen luxury chalets at Les Granges d’En Haut comes with its own private sauna. For an indoor swim, a soothing soak in the hot tub, or a refreshing dip in a steaming open-air Swedish bath, head to the Deep Nature Spa.
With its mountain-chic style, cocoonlike treatment rooms, and bespoke care rituals, this serene escape is open to everyone, not just guests.
Go on – make slowing down your next adventure.

Deep Nature Spa at the Hotel Les Aiglons: Spa & Spritz
Everyone loves the Deep Nature Spa at Hotel Les Aiglons for its steaming outdoor pool and its miniature sauna and hammam chalets.
Athletes flock here for muscle recovery massages tailored to their day’s workout.
Everyone also loves Hotel Les Aiglons for the hearty Italian cuisine at La Casa Nonna.
Buonissimo!
And no, not everyone ends their evening in the fabulous retroseventies décor of the BAM Karaoke Box, cocktail in one hand and mic in the other — but hey, nobody’s perfect.
