VIP SKI Blog

In our luxury ski chalets in Val d’Isere, Courchevel, Meribel and La Plagne, massage services will be provided by Ski Physio. First established in Courchevel in 1995, their massage services are now offered across 8 resorts. Their aim is simple “To provide you with an excellent, professional service that will make you feel soothed and relaxed, and ready for your next day’s ski.”

Your therapist can mix and match techniques, whether its focusing on a problem area or enjoying a soothing treatment. Prices start from €50. 

Specialising in sports massage and physiotherapy, Mountain Rehab are on hand to offer massages to our guests staying in Morzine, Avoriaz and Les Gets. All their staff are experienced sports physios who have had extensive massage training.

Before your treatment you can discuss with your therapist which treatment would be most suitable. Mountain Rehab offer a range of services from Sports Massage to Post Exercise Massage. Prices from €45.

Now I know you’re probably thinking, after a day on the slopes, you don’t want to go trekking into town for your massage, so that’s why Sky Physio and Mountain Rehab bring their massage services to you. It couldn’t be easier – simply pre-book your massage and let the experts do the rest. 

If you’re staying in one of our Val d’Isere chalets why not go all out and book your massage at our fantastic spa at Bellevarde Lodge. You will then have complimentary access to all the facilities, including a swimming pool, sauna and steam room. 

If you love the fresh air, mountain scenery, adventure & sense of achievement that a skiing holiday provides, then a sailing holiday might just be for you. Learn a new skill, discover a different place every day, enjoy breath-taking scenery & mouth-watering local cuisine, and meet like-minded people in a relaxed environment… sound tempting? There is absolutely no doubt that if you love skiing, you’ll love sailing.

Our friends at ‘Sailing Holidays’ have a very similar ethos to us, they are a family run business who take pride in their holidays, they recruit the right people to ensure you have the best possible holiday and their clients return year after year. We’re happy to recommend them.

Don’t be put off. Sailing Holidays are the only UK Company who can provide tuition for complete beginners allowing you to join a flotilla and learn to sail whilst you’re on holiday. 

If you enjoy the convivial atmosphere of a larger shared chalet then a flotilla holiday is a great option. Share a boat with your other half, friends or family and enjoy sailing by yourselves during the day, with the option to socialise and wind down with other like-minded sailors in the evening. If you are an individual or couple looking to join a crew, the ‘share-a-yacht’ option offers the perfect opportunity to spend a couple of weeks away from it all, making new friends whilst sailing in the sun. 

Lucky you…if you are already qualified to a minimum of a Day Skipper Practical Certificate or an ICC (International Certificate of Competency) then Sailing Holidays offer bareboat in Turkey, Spain, Croatia, Italy and Greece. 

Don’t wait until this winter for your next adventure, for more details of what our friends at Sailing Holidays offer click here. If you are tempted, be quick, they’re booking up fast for this summer.
