Relax & Recharge
Your ski holiday is about you time; spend the day skiing to your heart’s content, followed by a warming sauna, a soak in a bubbling Jacuzzi or treating your aching muscles to a soothing massage. As health and wellbeing has become such a popular trend on holiday, spa hotels are dotted across Europe and North America. In many hotels, you won’t have to travel far to indulge in a couple of hours of you time. If you’re travelling with family, choose a hotel with kids’ groups and childcare, so you don’t have to worry while you're relaxing.
