Imagine yourself enjoying the warmth of a sauna or jacuzzi, offering the perfect relaxation bubble to soothe tired muscles and promote recovery.
In winter, the experience is enhanced by the sensation of contrast between the cold outside and the comfort of the spa; in summer, it’s a suspended moment where the freshness of the mountains blends harmoniously with the well-being of the warm waters.
