ALPENTHERME LEUKERBAD<br />
The Swiss village of Leukerbad<br />
is the largest mountain thermal<br />
and wellness resort in Europe.<br />
About 3.9 million litres of<br />
natural, bubbly thermal water<br />
is used every day in the spa<br />
centres and pools of the region.<br />
The 51°C water comes from the<br />
St. Laurent spring, while the<br />
water temperature at various<br />
indoor and outdoor pools<br />
ranges from 36 to 40°C. Some<br />
of these pools offer fantastic<br />
views of the surrounding snowy<br />
peaks. Visitors can select from<br />
a variety of wellness and beauty<br />
procedures, including saunas<br />
and anti-stress massages.<br />

THIS MONTH’S TREND<br />
APRÈS-SKI STYLE<br />
For many winter sports enthusiasts, après-ski events and<br />
entertainment are just as important as outdoor adventures<br />
on the slopes. Hot tubs and springs, indoor and outdoor<br />
swimming, and sauna procedures are just some of the<br />
après-ski activities that can be undertaken at Alpine resorts.<br />
This season, skiwear and après-ski clothing is being sold<br />
with retro-style accents in the form of 1970s-inspired alpine<br />
knits, light down jackets with fur trimmings, and fluffy<br />
moon boots. Unlike the case with skiwear, snowboarders’<br />
clothes place a greater emphasis on comfort and looser cuts<br />
that don’t restrict the wearer’s movements. High-heeled<br />
shoes and evening dresses are not a necessity at après-ski<br />
bars and clubs, unless you plan to hobnob with the jet set<br />
at the Swiss resort of St. Moritz, which is one of the most<br />
expensive on the planet and which is colloquially known<br />
as the Top of the World. In the resort’s most famous night<br />
club, the King’s Club at the Badrutt’s Palace Hotel, one<br />
dresses to impress, and at some of the club’s events, black<br />
tie dress is the norm. BO<br />
