The best relaxation facilities to install in your chalet in Courchevel

If you are renovating or building a ski chalet in Courchevel it is likely you want to utilise some of your space for relaxation. Skiing and snowboarding are very physically demanding and use muscles that we don’t exercise too often, therefore having spa facilities in your is seem as essential by some.

 

Hot-tub/spas are very popular and we have this separate guide.

 

More and more elite athletes are using saunas for recovery, especially infra-red saunas. A sauna will not add a great deal of value to your weekly price, however it will increase your occupancy level, this holds true for most spa/relaxation facilities. Also, saunas are very popular with eastern european clients and can be the difference between securing a booking or not.

 

Streamrooms/hammams are also very popular, and a great option if you do not have much space. We have got a few owners that have turned large showers in small apartments into hammans. This is a really cost effective and low maintenance way of making your property standout.

 

Swimming pools are very popular in luxury chalets, though very expensive to maintain. If you are lucky enough to have enough space outside for a swimming pool this will help generate those hard to find summer reservations.

 

A massage room is another common feature in ski chalets, though we would only advise it if you have a lot of space. There are other things you could use a smaller room for such as a bedroom, a cinema room or games room that would be more popular with rental guests. Also every good masseuse in the Courchevel Valley will have their own table they can set up in another part of your chalet if you want to treat yourself to a massage.

 

Plunge pools are something you don’t see very often though with mounting evidence to the benefits of cold exposure it is something we predict will become more popular.
