It is this hotel that was behind the creation of the Airelles collection, a true jewel of the French hotel industry.
Located at the foot of the slopes of Courchevel, which needs no introduction, it is very popular with skiers. The Trois-Vallées area is thus accessible on the doorstep. This unique setting, bringing together 8 ski resorts in Savoie, is the largest ski area in the world. Lovers of thrills as well as beginner skiers can have fun on the slopes.

Spa La Mer, a gem set in the mountains
The hotel’s wellness area is divided into three areas: sport, relaxation and beauty. The spa is stamped “La Mer” with the name of the prestigious cosmetic brand that is used. It is equipped with jacuzzis (indoor and outdoor), a hammam, a sauna, sensory showers, waterfalls and even of a snow cave.
The magnificent azure blue indoor swimming pool worth the detour on its own, with its sculpted ceiling and its superb columns that would almost make you think of an Asian temple, Bhutan version.

Thanks to serums derived from nanotechnology, these solutions allow a rejuvenating effect without surgery or injection. Many treatments and massages are possible: slimming rituals, Ayurvedic massage, and muscle recovery.

Indeed, the spa offers the services of a massage therapist and osteopath (who also specializes in traditional Chinese medicine).

After a sports session or a day of skiing, the hotel offers recovery with a cryotherapy session (immersion of the body in a cabin at -180°C for a few minutes). This technique, very trendy, is acclaimed by great athletes. It has been recognized, for example, that after a trail run you can recover your maximum muscle strength in just one hour after a whole body cryotherapy session.
