Winters in Megève may be exciting and delightful, but the cold weather can take its toll on the body. Perhaps it’s the drop in temperatures all around, the strenuous winter sports, or even the excess of food and drinks at apres-ski. Whatever the cause, your body could use a break from the winter festivities during your stay.  

Apart from the breathtaking ski runs and scenery, Megève is also known for their high-end spas and wellness treatments. For guests who could use a little physical warmth, a spa treatment may be the pick-me-up that they need. 

Spa treatments are among the decadent treats featured in Alpine Wonders Unveiled: Top Luxury Experiences In The French Alps During The Winter.  

Essential Spa Treatments for Warmth

Most spas in Megève, and even a few chalets, have their own version of a steam room. Whether you’re relaxing in the dry heat of a sauna or going for a steam-filled hammam, a session in a heated room is sure to boost blood circulation, encourage relaxation and relief for sore muscles, and clear respiratory congestion.  

Jacuzzis are also common in spas and chalets, and the heat from the bubbling water bath can also do wonders for sore and tense muscles. Sitting in a jacuzzi can be an indulgent experience in itself; you can practically feel your soreness and stress melt away. 

Some luxury chalets in Megève may even arrange for a private session with an on-call massage therapist. Make sure to contact your chalet’s concierge services for recommendations and availability of massage therapists and spa professionals before booking one.

Signature Treatments of Megève Spas

If you’re looking for an indulgent experience, however, a session inside a Megève spa may do the trick. Many of Megève’s high-end spas use top-quality products for their facial and body treatments, with big brand names like Clarins and Dr. Barbara Sturm forging partnerships with spas. We present you with a sampling of notable signature treatments.  

1. Sportif by Tata, Spa Hotel Coeur de Megève

As the name suggests, this treatment was designed for winter sports enthusiasts by international skincare guru and “green beauty” pioneer Tata Harper using products from her eponymous line. Spa Hotel Coeur de Megève features Harper’s all-natural luxury products in many of their treatments for the face and body.  

The treatment involves an indulgent body scrub and a mask to take care of breakouts on the back, both of which contain organic skincare ingredients.  A relaxing full-body massage follows to ease aches and pains from a day on the slopes.  

2. Rituel a La Bougie, Spa Pure Altitude, Les Fermes de Marie

Spa Pure Altitude is one of the first and original spas in Megève, and they take pride in using locally sourced ingredients from the area’s native fauna in their treatments for the face and body. They even have a signature scent called Fleurs de Neige (Snow Flowers), which contains notes of wild narcissus and mountain herbs.  

The fragrance is featured in Pure Altitude’s signature treatment, a full-body massage in candlelight. All the candles used during the “ritual” are scented with Fleurs de Neige, lending aromatherapy benefits and a multisensory experience to the session.  

3. Mineral au Chocolat, Le Grand Hotel Soleil D’Or

What can be more French than a decadent body treatment that smells like chocolate? The spa at Le Grand Hotel Soleil D’Or takes inspiration from the endorphin-boosting health benefits of chocolate, which is rich in minerals such as zinc, manganese, and copper. Not only will you smell delicious, but your body will get a boost of energy.  

In this treatment, chocolate-scented sweet almond oil infused with minerals is massaged all over the body. The massage itself is an incredible experience for the senses, but it becomes more luxurious when paired with the spa’s Mother of Pearl scrub.
