  1. Pavillon du Mt Fréty

    At the 2173m-high midstation Pavillon du Mt Fréty, you can take a summertime stroll through the flower-filled Alpine garden, Giardino Alpino Saussurea, which is blanketed by snow in winter. Walking trails around here are numerous and many fall within the Pavillon du Mt Fréty Nature Oasis, a protected zone of 1200 hectares tucked between glaciers, where you have a good chance of spotting ibexes, marmots and deer.

  2. Spa

    A beautiful 1920s building is the newly renovated location for a soothing spa. Admission includes use of a bathrobe, towel and slippers, plus fresh-squeezed juices, fruit and herbal teas. In addition to saunas, whirlpools and toning waterfalls there’s an indoor-outdoor thermal pool. It’s lit by candles and torches on Saturday nights, when it is spectacular amid the snow and stars.
