How to Choose the Right Spa in Chamonix
Well you see it all depends on what you value most:
Big is best – if its all about the biggest thermal experience then QC Terme Chamonix is your best bet – problem is that can get a bit too busy especially in the peak weeks
Get back to nature, then the Deep Nature spas are the way to go, with their wood and stone centres and the most beautiful mountain views, and you can easily base yourself in nearby Les Bois using a Geneva to Les Bois transfer shuttle
Luxury all the way then the 5 star hotel spas are what you need – offering all the top treatment and fancy amenities for the adults who just want to get pampered, especially if you’re staying in tranquil Les Praz and arrive on a Geneva to Les Praz transfer shuttle
Convenience is key – so mobile massage services are a great option – they come direct to your place with all their gear, just like booking a straightforward Geneva to Avoriaz transfer shuttle makes ski and spa weekends in the Portes du Soleil totally hassle-free
Budget – well, the prices do vary all over the place – from 37€ over at Deep Nature right up to 90€+ at the thermal complexes, and treatment packages can reach as much as 160€
We reckon it makes sense to book well in advance for Christmas-New Year, the February ski holidays and late August – that way you can guarantee you get a time slot. Weekdays are best if you want a quiet experience – just check the latest reviews for the most up to date on cleanliness and crowding – some of these places have had a bit of a mixed bag of feedback lately.
Whatever you’re after, Chamonix has a spa to suit – whether its relaxing and recharging or just indulging in some well earned mountain wellness – you’ll find something to fit the bill.
