We all love skiing because of the sun, great scenery and fresh powder. However, we push our bodies to make the most of the slopes, which results in fatigued and achy muscles. Massage has many benefits, particularly preventing injury and reducing muscle pain and stiffness. It is the perfect way to recover from a tiring day on the slopes, putting your body in top form to allow you to make the most of your holiday. So whether you want relaxation and pampering or something therapeutic to treat those muscle aches and pains, there'll be something perfectly tailored to suit you.

Bianca, qualified in Physiokinetotherapy, started her carreer in a paediatric clinic & outpatient clinic. More recently she has worked in the UAE treating various injuries including back, neck & shoulder surgeries, hip & knee replacements, sports injuries & muscle pains. She uses a variety of styles, such as trigger point release, manual therapy release, dry needling, dry cupping, active exercises or passive stretching. With multiple qualifications, such as Medical Taping, Orthopedic Manual therapy, Scar Therapy, Dry Needling and Cardio-pulmonary she has lots of ways to help with those post-ski aches and pains.

Bianca approaches each treatment with care and precision, ensuring a customized experience that addresses your unique needs. Whether you seek recovery after an active day or a moment of indulgent self-care, her goal is to provide treatments that leave you feeling renewed, balanced, and ready to fully embrace the beauty and adventure of the mountains.

Treatments take place in the yurt, located in the garden of Chalet Au Coin du Feu and Bianca is available between 8.00am and 10.00am and between 4.00pm and 8.00pm each day for treatment bookings. She can also be available outside of these times by prior arrangement. As we have just one therapist and one treatment room, we encourage our guests to pre-book their massages and treatments early to avoid disappointment. You can book in directly with Bianca or via the online booking system below.

Payment for treatments can be made in cash directly to Bianca at the time of your treatment, via online secure payment or added to your resort bill.

Deep Tissue Massage

This massage will suit anyone who is regularly active and is looking for an extra way to keep injuries at bay and support an active lifestyle.

Swedish / Wellness Massage

A routine based massage which uses light to deep pressure and long gliding and flowing movements to promote overall relaxation and stress relief. It is an excellent way to unwind after a long day, and its positive effects are found to be as beneficial for the mind as well as the body.

 

Trigger Point Release Massage
50 mins - €75 or 80 mins - €100

Trigger points are knots in the muscles that are easily recognisable because they are sensitive and painful to the touch. They are most often found along long muscle chains such as those in the shoulders, neck, back and legs and can be cause by tension while skiing. This approach aims to apply continuous pressure on muscle trigger points in order to promote their release and get you back on the slopes.

 

Myofascial Release Massage
50 mins - €75 or 80 mins - €100

Myofascial release is a hands-on soft tissue technique that facilitates a stretch into the restricted fascia. During myofascial release therapy, the therapist applies light pressure by hand to find myofascial areas that feel stiff instead of elastic and movable. It can help loosen muscles and joints. A great way to ease back pain from skiing with the wrong posture!

 

Head, Neck and Shoulder Massage
25 mins - €40 or 50 mins - €75

A deeply relaxing massage for the head, neck and shoulders, perfect for easing away everyday stresses, aches and pains. This treatment never fails to create a sense of relaxation and peacefulness, making it a great mid-week check in with yourself.

 

Ski Boot Recovery Leg and Foot Massage
25 mins - €40 or 50 mins - €75

Massage specifically aimed at the muscles used on the slopes to help recover after an active day. Targeted muscles will feel loosened, relaxed, and will help to speed up recovery. A great way to refresh and revive the muscles after a day in ski or snowboard boots.
