Trade winter blues for alpine bliss at these coveted spa and wellness destinations, where guests are invited to melt away stress, restore radiance, and indulge in peak winter wellness. From rejuvenating rituals to cozy sanctuaries that soothe mind, body, and soul, these elevated mountain retreats around the world invite you to stop giving winter the cold shoulder and embrace your inner glow.
Auberge Lodge at Blue Sky
Less than 30 minutes from the skiing center of Deer Valley in Utah, and just 50 minutes from the Salt Lake City airport, the 4,000-acre resort features just 46 rooms nestled into the rugged landscape, making the appeal here all about the inherent tranquility of the mountain escape.
While its 7,400-square-foot Edge Spa offers an array of traditional spa treatments modeled after local ingredients and practices, some of the best wellness experiences take place outdoors. The new ReWilding Wellbeing program features nature-immersive experiences, including foraging, creek meditation, outdoor cold plunges, and mountain cacao ceremonies.
There’s also a new Native Sweat Lodge, created in partnership with Shoshone Chief Darren Parry and assembled by local women leaders. Through the experience, guests are guided on a traditional journey of healing and purification to reflect and reconnect with themselves and the world.
Six Senses Crans-Montana
Nestled in the Swiss Alps, Six Senses Crans-Montana blends contemporary mountainous design with a holistic approach to wellness. After a day on the slopes, guests can retreat to the expansive spa, where ancient traditions meet modern therapies.
Signature treatments include the decadent Swiss Chocolate Wrap, the deeply restorative Journey to Restore, and the invigorating Fire and Ice massage. A full Rest and Recover program offers biomarker-driven treatments, yoga, and biohacking in the Recovery Lounge for those seeking a complete reset.
