Local wellness tip

If you want to combine mountain views with your wellness visit, try heading to a spa centre around Les Praz in the afternoon when the sun hits the valley just right. It’s quieter there than downtown, and you can sip a herbal tea on the terrace while soaking in views of the Aiguilles. Also, if you’re visiting in winter, aim for later afternoon treatments to relax tight muscles after your day on the slopes before heading out for dinner. Booking early in the week often means less rush, too, since weekends fill up fast. Locals recommend snapping up treatments three days before your trip to ensure availability in the busiest seasons.
