A new Spa Pure Altitude will be launched later this year at the flagship property of hotel management firm Maisons and Hotel Sibuet, owned by the Sibuet family, called Les Fermes de Marie.

The French alpine resort, located across two hectares of parkland on the outskirts of the French Alps village of Megève, is a collection of traditional farmhouses and nine chalets. These were restored by the Sibuet family and converted into a 70 bedroom hotel, plus chalets.

The new spa will measure 10,000sq ft (929sq m) and offer wellness facilities for guests all-year-round, ready in time for the upcoming ski season. The Pure Altitude spa concept, developed and implemented in every Maisons & Hotels Sibuet property, is based on using the active plant ingredients to relax muscles, promote recuperation and maintain wellbeing. Pure Altitude uses the active ingredients from edelweiss trees and other mountain minerals in its treatments.

The spa will comprise 17 treatment cabins, a mineral lap pool steamroom, circular red cedar showers, indoor and outdoor whirlpools, a dry and humid sauna on the spa’s terrace and a large indoor swimming pool. Inspired by the Japanese ofuro bathing tradition, two soaking baths of hot and cold water will be on offer for the first time at this Spa Pure Altitude.

The design will showcase a Nordic theme throughout the spa and its relaxation rooms. It will feature fine birch bark, in addition to granite encrusted with pebbles and frozen glass.

The property also features a Technogym fitness suite and a Leonor Greyl hairdressing studio.

The Maisons & Hotels Sibuet collection includes nine hotels across the French Alps, Lyon and the south of France. Domaine La Baume, a renovated 18th Century guest house in Tourtour in Provence, is the latest property to join the collection. The next hotel in Avoriaz, Hotel des Dromonts, will be launching in December of this year, with details of the spa at this Avioraz property to follow shortly.
