Top 5 Spas For Après-Ski Luxury

After a hard day on the slopes, nothing beats an après-ski spa treatment. Skiing and spa-going are about as far from each other as you can get in terms of ways to pass the time. But think about how each makes you feel and you realize they are a natural combination, exercising both body and soul. The world’s top ski hotels now have full-service spas and sophisticated treatment menus to rival anything to be found in an urban five-star hotel. A spa is now an integral part of the ski-holiday experience.

Here are a few of the world’s best luxury hotels and spas that will surely hit the spot. 























Bagni di Bormio Spa Resort, Bormio – Italy

A spa town since Roman times, Bormio is home to the five-star Grand Bagni Nuovi, which first opened as a spa resort in 1836. Along with Murano glass chandeliers and art nouveau flourishes, the hotel features a gorgeous 5,500-square-meter spa, where a hydro-massage bath is fed with thermal water.

Facilities include open-air baths, Jacuzzis, saunas, and a Turkish bath, and a full menu of treatments from detox facials to enzymatic gommage.
