7 winter escapades to relax in the French Alps

Winter is coming and with it our desire for winter sports and the mountains. At altitude, the most beautiful hotels also offer magnificent and luxurious spas, often in partnership with a beauty salon, to soothe aching muscles, boost energy, or simply recharge your batteries. These luxurious cocoons under the snow allow you to combine winter sports with the maintenance of your physical and mental well-being.
