4 Giardino Mountain Champfèr – Who says you have to travel all the way to India for Ayurveda? engadin.ch/giardino-wellness

Go gold

Zuoz – The Castell was the first hotel to bring Middle Eastern bathing culture to the Alps with its hammam. What could be better than stepping out of the bitter cold and into the comforting cocoon of the hotel’s own hammam, with multiple rooms offering both warmth and refreshment? The indulgent experience ends with you plunging into a gold bath. engadin.ch/hamam-castell

The water is gold at the Hotel Castell hammam.

Hot tub in the sun

It doesn’t get much more luxurious than sinking into a hot tub high in the mountains after a long day of skiing, as everyone else heads back down to the valley. If that sounds like your idea of heaven, head straight to the Berghaus Diavolezza, located almost 3,000 metres above sea level. As the day draws to a close, guests can plunge into the warm water bubbling away at 40 degrees and stay right there until the stars are shining brightly in the night sky above Piz Palü. engadin.ch/hot-tub
