Our Top 5 Spa chalets

As any skier will tell you, whether beginner or expert, skiing is a demanding sport to engage in. Welcoming, well located chalets with luxury facilities are the perfect place to unwind after days of exploring the pistes, and a spot of hot tub or sauna pampering thrown in is always a nice touch. Imagine sitting outside in your beautiful hot tub with a glass of champagne in hand, gazing up at the starry night sky and contemplating your next day’s adventures on the slopes... Bliss!

A good number of the properties you’ll find on our website offer wellness facilities like hot tubs, saunas and steam rooms, but with so many features often shared with neighbouring chalets, you're not always guarenteed exclusive use. With that in mind, we’ve had a close look at our luxury ski chalet portfolio and selected a few absolutely stunning properties, specially selected for the quality of their spa and sauna facilities.

Marco Polo, Val d’Isere

Situated in the heart of Val d'Isère yet set back from the main road, this 12-14 bed chalet combines unique spa facilities with a fantastic location. Aptly billed as ‘a chalet like no other’, the Marco Polo boasts remarkable spa facilities covering the whole first floor of the chalet. 

From the indoor swimming pool, guests can enjoy the relaxing alpine views through the floor to ceiling picture windows. For a more lively in-chalet après-ski session, we fully recommend taking advantage of the entertainment system from the adjacent bar, complete with flat screen, lasers and smoke machines! The adjacent indoor hot tub and hamman offer the complete wellness facility for the ultimate luxury spa experience.

Further to this, the chalet comes with an in-house spa manager who will provide two hours of complimentary massage per day within one of two massage rooms, classic or Hydro, depending on your preferences.

Shemshak Lodge, Courchevel 1850

Nominated as ‘France’s best ski chalet’ in 2013 and ideally located right by the piste in one of the most desirable resorts in the world, the Shemshak is a chalet of rare brilliance. The standard of the Shemshak Lodge’s interior is matched by its luxury spa facilities to give guests a truly impressive property.

An entire floor is given over to guests’ wellness and relaxation, and the Shemshak Lodge features a large swimming pool with panoramic views of the valley, a separate Jacuzzi, sauna, hammam, massage room and a state of the art gym. The chalet is designed by a top London interior designer and exudes Alpine chic. This, combined with its location and facilities, puts it firmly at the top of any luxury chalet hot list.

Zermatt Peak, Zermatt

The chalet Zermatt Peak is a 15 bed property offering wonderful spa facilities and some of the greatest mountain views in the world. From the pool, guests can enjoy uninterrupted views over the village of Zermatt up to the iconic Matterhorn peak; not a bad choice for that all-important relaxing après-ski time.

Guests can enjoy the sauna and steam bath, or a recline on the fur-covered loungers, followed by a soak in the Jacuzzi which stretches from inside the wellness area right out onto the external terrace. In addition to the Zermatt Peak’s pools and hot tubs, a masseuse will be on hand to aid those aching and tired muscles.

The Lodge, Verbier

Nestled in Switerland’s famous 4 Valleys ski area, The Lodge sleeps 18 people in awe-inspiring luxury. The focus of this beautiful property rests with the extensive wellness facilities and in-house spa treatments which are truly impressive. Favoured by none other than Mr. Richard Branson, this chalet offers an outstanding location close to the Medran gondola in Verbier centre, a rare thing in such a spread-out resort.

The indoor swimming pool offers unrivalled views from the floor to ceiling picture windows of the wellness area complete with a Jacuzzi and steam room. Guests can retire to the outdoor terrace and Jacuzzi for further relaxation if they choose. The chalet’s resident beauty therapist offers treatments from the Lodge’s private wellness area.

Chalet Artemis, St Anton

Representing Austria in the luxury ski chalet stakes, we have the 12-bed chalet Artemis in the Nasserein area of St Anton. Austrian chalets are not typically famed for their spa facilities but Chalet Artemis really bucks the trend. It boasts an indulgent spa area with hot tub, swimming pool, steam room and sauna, and is one of the finest contemporary chalets in the Arlberg region.

The spa facilities in this chalet really are the last word in Alpine luxury, and the ideal place to relax after a day exploring the pistes. They consist of a wet room, sauna, steam room, massage room, an indoor pool and an indoor/outdoor hot tub.

Certainly worth a special mention is the Artemis’ wonderful 12-seat cinema room, which offers a true movie experience right in the heart of the chalet. Expect red velvet chairs and all your favourite films – the perfect place to spend an evening or two relaxing with friends and family.
