Chamonix Valley Spas & Massages

Several hotels in the Chamonix Valley offer access to their spa centre and pool to non-hotel guests. This post is not a full list of tried and tested spas and massages; I have clearly not done enough of my own “parent pampering” in the last six years!  In fact, the only spa I have managed to visit has been Deep Nature’s Les Granges d’en Haut in Les Houches.  I have … Continue reading Chamonix Valley Spas & Massages
