Le Bachal – which means pool or basin in Savoyard dialect – is staffed by a team of highly-trained beauticians and masseuses whose sole purpose is to ease the stresses and strains of a day on the slopes: offering just what you want from the spas in Chamonix.

The body wraps here use purifying seaweed to help drain toxins, while baths use South Sea oils to soften and smooth the skin; massages include an anti-stress back, leg and foot treatment, combined with a hot mud wrap. Indeed, there’s nothing better after a morning on the mountain.

Other treatments include phytoaromatic facials which help to combat extreme dehydration, promote anti-ageing and luminous skin. Bliss.
