Launched in the heart of Chamonix in October, the Spa of Hotel Mont-Blanc offers a stunning view of the Mont-Blanc mountain range and treatments aimed at skiers and hikers.

Designed by Sybille de Margerie and spanning 250sq m (820sq ft), soothing earth colours and wood have been used to create a tranquil environment.

Facilities include a gym, a 14m by 10m heated outdoor swimming pool and a hot tub looking over the mountains. There are three treatment rooms, including one couples’ room, a sauna, steamroom, experience shower and Norwegian shower.

According to spa manager, Rozenn Masson, the spa attracts a wide variety of ages and nationalities who love the mountains: “What unites our target clients is their love and respect for the breathtaking nature that Chamonix has to offer. Many of them are interested in outdoor activities and sports. In general, they enjoy and demand high quality on all different levels of service.”

Products and treatments from the Italian brand, Comfort Zone, are on the spa menu, as well as the Swiss treatment Calluspeeling and Essie for manicures and pedicures.

Signature treatment is the Mont-Blanc Exclusive, which has been especially created for skiers and hikers, highlighting hydration of the body, as well as massage and using the vibration of Tibetan bowls for a deep relaxation.
