7 of The Best Ski Resort Spas from Ski Independence
Skiing can be tough on the body, especially if you only get away once or twice a year, with burning thighs a common complaint. What better then, than to relax and recharge at the end of the day with a soak in a luxurious hot tub or sauna or by indulging in a full body massage? Our guide to the best ski resort spas is here to help you find the perfect place to ease your aching limbs out of your ski boots and into the very best Jacuzzis and luxury pools.
From the simple pleasure of a hot tub with a beautiful mountain vista, to an all-out spa experience complete with ice pools and flower baths, Ski Independence’s team of Ski Specialists have tried and tested (reluctantly, of course!) a wide range of spa and wellness experiences to share with you.

For the lucky ones who’ve already notched up some ski days this season, we’ve enjoyed sunny skies, skied perfect groomers and discovered plenty of powder stashes. These ‘fam’ trips allow us to squeeze in some much sought-after early season turns but it’s not all fun and games – there’s a bit of work involved too (we promise)! The main purpose of these visits is to build on our knowledge of our featured properties and destinations, so when it comes to creating tailor-made packages we’re best placed to choose the most suitable resort, accommodation and travel options – based on real experience.
