W<\/span>e all deserve a little pampering now and then, so combining your ski holiday with a spa package adds a more rounded sense of well-being. Ski and spa resorts<\/strong> offer tailor-made treatments for skiers, along with a huge choice of luxurious beauty and relaxation options for their non-skiing companions. It’s not only natural thermal spa destinations that offer all the benefits of aqua-therapy – look for ski resorts that have balneotherapy<\/em> centres, providing a beneficial and relaxing alternative to skiing<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What are Thermal Spas?

Thermal spas are located where naturally hot springs<\/strong> emerge from below ground. As the water rises through the earth it is gradually enriched by mineral salts and trace elements<\/strong>. The composition, temperature and properties of each spring is unique and offers specific curative and therapeutic benefits<\/strong>. In the Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes region alone there are hundreds of springs, of which about twenty are exploited under well-known brand names like Evian, Badoit and Vals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Although the thermal spas continue to be effective in treating many ailments, the current trend is more for relaxation, and well-being treatments<\/strong>, and the spas are once again providing luxurious escapes from everyday cares and pressures. So now we can all enjoy the benefits they have to offer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
