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 />
