At Les Thermalies, outdoor recreation takes centre stage. In winter, guests divide their time between the slopes and the spa, where the warmth of the indoor and outdoor thermal spas contrasts with the brisk mountain air. Snowshoeing, sleigh rides and cross-country skiing are other popular activities and in summer, hiking and biking through the Alpine pastures, mountains and vineyards are most enjoyable. Finish the day with dinner on the terrace or in the dining room, or relax in the charming beer garden. The intimate and exquisite health resort of Ovronnaz is located in the French-speaking part of the Valais overlooking the Rhone Valley. The region draws visitors year-round with its singular combination of winter skiing, summer hiking and thermal pools with panoramic views. Nearby, travelers can explore the historic towns of Sion, the capital of the canton of Valais with its impressive fortified Valère Castle, and Martigny, where a Mediterranean vibe permeates.
