6 self-care experiences in the Alps

On the day side, an ultra-pure light, that of the Alps, envelops the space. At night, the sky spreads its stars over the pool. A true bubble of relaxation with its 1,000 m² and 11 treatment rooms, the Spa des Barmes de l'Ours (Relais & Châteaux) is now under the Sisley banner. The result is advanced treatments in the field of phytocosmetology with the Sisleÿa anti-ageing range, using more than 50 plant extracts, or the Black Rose line based on "black baccara", a garnet rose grown in France. For a complete beauty makeover, opt for the exceptional Gourmet Bear ritual with scrub, massage and phyto-aromatic facial. Bon appétit!

Enjoy a gourmet meal while taking advantage of the medicinal virtues of the ingredients in the dishes: this is the concept of the new Clarins Winter Wellness Menu launched by the M de Megève. Designed by chef Edouard Loubet and Dr. Courtin Clarins, CEO of the eponymous brand, this five-act lunch is inspired by Savoyard culinary traditions and an in-depth knowledge of mountain plants. Root vegetable broth infused with roasted beech, flavoured with gentian or chestnut purée and diced Beaufort cheese to accompany a buckwheat crozet gratin... It can be enjoyed as part of a Day Spa package, with a 60-minute treatment and one hour's access to the M's balneo area for a complete fitness session, from your taste buds to your feet!

All the mountain's waterways in one place! A new experiential space in the Spa des Thermes Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc, "The forest under the rain" distils the benefits of thermal waters in all their forms over 300 m². A shower of benefits designed as a sensory walk in a plant decor: a waterfall to knead the back and shoulders, a torrent of hot and cold water to activate the circulation, a sauna to warm up the muscles and relax. What do they have in common? The thermal water of Saint-Gervais, rich in minerals and trace elements, which we feed on after a journey from the depths of the Mont-Blanc massif.

Beauty yes, but natural and rooted in the land! For the treatment menu of its new Spa, the Sky La Rosière hotel residence has chosen Exertier, a committed Savoyard brand. Among its flagship products, mountain honey harvested by hand in a high-altitude apiary and Sabot de Vénus, a rare Alpine orchid with anti-oxidant powers, ideal for anti-ageing protocols. Designed as a sensory and holistic journey, the treatments are also inspired by the cairns, the stone pyramids that mark out the mountain paths. Massage with hot mountain salt stones or semi-precious stones, we extend the benefits of the Alps with an infusion of local aromatic plants...
