Forest bathing vs. cold plunge in a waterfall

An exclusive dining experience at Les Fermes de Marie and Les Chalets des Fermes, L'Alpage des Fermes offers the opportunity to stroll through fields, forests, and along green hillsides. On the way there, enjoy the silence and coolness of the forest, letting yourself be carried away by the scents of moss and undergrowth, soothed by the infinite shades of green. On the way back, you can head to the Belle au Bois waterfall for a refreshing and rejuvenating swim. Not to mention that in between, you'll enjoy a delicious lunch perched at an altitude of 1,800 meters with a magical view.

Honey bath vs. Japanese bath

Enhanced by the gardens surrounding the Hameau des Fermes, the cuisine, and the homemade herbal teas, nature is of course omnipresent at the Pure Altitude Spa. For absolute bliss, try the ultra-soothing and restorative honey and mountain plant bath, which combines extracts of edelweiss, blueberry, arnica montana, and phytoamine complex with honey and shea butter. It's the perfect way to repair skin that has been sensitized by the sun or cold. The spa also invites you to reconnect with the art of bathing in the strictest sense of the word, with its large pool housed under a huge wooden frame and paved with river stones, as well as traditional Japanese baths and a Nordic bath located in the garden.

Nourishing bath vs. vine bath

Nestled in a vast estate of around thirty hectares of vineyards where olive trees, truffle oaks, and lavender grow as far as the eye can see, along with a host of vegetables, flowers, and medicinal plants, La Bastide de Marie invites you to experience nature in all its glory. When you're not strolling through the rows of vines and gardens, you can enjoy the "fruits" of the earth, not to mention the honey and wines, as the restaurant has a huge vegetable garden and operates on a farm-to-table basis. Even the herbal teas are carefully prepared from plants grown on the estate and processed on site.

Swimming pool vs. Mediterranean Sea

Overlooking Pampelonne Bay and Cap Taillat, Villa Marie Saint-Tropez embodies all the beauty of the Mediterranean. Guests can stroll peacefully through its Mediterranean gardens, in the shade of umbrella pines, among cypresses and orange trees, but above all, they can cool off in the kidney-shaped pool on the side of the rock, which offers a magical view of the bay. And for a sparkling dip in the sea, simply head to the legendary and magnificent Pampelonne beach just below.

Color bath

We leave the heights of Colombier and Gyp Sea Hotel behind to head to Colombier beach and soak up the tropical colors. During a short hike, we are overwhelmed by the splendor of the landscapes and the lush vegetation and wildlife of this half-limestone, half-volcanic island, where we encounter iguanas and goats wandering among the latan trees, gum trees, and orchids... – before arriving at one of its most beautiful lagoons and diving with turtles among multicolored fish and corals.

Moon bath

After dancing barefoot in the sand at the Gyp Sea Beach Club, just a few steps from your Beach House, slip into the crystal-clear lagoon at nightfall for a midnight swim under the moonlight. A dip with proven benefits for rebalancing your inner energy and getting a good night's sleep, especially as the water is deliciously clear and warm. The perfect complement to sunbathing and vitamin D intake during the day.

Polar light bath

Bathed in immaculate white, the Mont Blanc spa, with its polar cave-like atmosphere, is the perfect antidote to the winter blues. Slip into a bath of white light, similar to the reflections radiating from the snow, to calm your mind and restore clarity to your thoughts. You can also enjoy the natural benefits of this icy light during a ski or snowshoe outing on the nearby snow-covered slopes and trails.

Ice bath

In the luxurious spa at Lodge Park, you can plunge into extreme cold to restore your vitality by immersing your body in the ice room, where the intense cold brings radiance and energy. Or you may prefer a full-body cryotherapy session, where the cold in a very low-temperature cabin instantly awakens and boosts circulation, leaving you with a pleasant feeling of energy and lightness. Depending on your preferences and beauty program, you can combine this with a Kneipp bath, alternating between hot and cold to tone up. These three baths allow you to recover like never before or after skiing, erase the effects of jet lag, and completely reset.
