Top 10 Wellness Hotels with a View
Where the view stretches across mountain ridges, valleys and shimmering lakes, a special kind of retreat begins: wellness with a view. At altitudes above 1,000 metres, peace and nature come together to create a truly relaxing experience. The spa areas are designed to open up to the surroundings – with large glass fronts that let in the light, pools that seem to merge with the horizon, and quiet zones that keep the panorama always in sight. Away from the crowds, surrounded by Alpine calm, it’s easy to unwind. These ten remarkable hotels show that at higher altitudes, you’ll find not only stunning views but also complete relaxation.
