Space

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.

Rachael is a Licensed Massage Therapist with a diverse range of experiences massaging, which includes working in a spa setting, a private practice and in palliative care. She has been active in competitive athletics and later in ultra-running as well as a general love of being outdoors which means she empathises with anyone seeking a massage for niggles and self-care and really enjoys massaging with this in mind. Her real passion comes with helping people to feel better and more relaxed, whether through a relaxing Swedish massage or deep tissue. She has experience with trigger point therapy, an effective method of relieving knots and tension in muscles, deep tissue, therapeutic cupping, assisted stretching, and massage for relaxation.

Treatments take place in the yurt, located in the garden of Chalet Au Coin du Feu and Rachael 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 Rachael or via the online booking system below.

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