A spa day after the slopes

After a day of skiing your muscles want warmth and your head wants quiet. Here is an easy order for an afternoon in the spa.

1. A warm shower and a few minutes of rest.
2. The sauna — as long as it feels good, usually eight to fifteen minutes.
3. A cold shower or a bucket of cold water.
4. Rest in the relaxation area with a glass of water or herbal tea.
5. The steam bath, cold water again and rest again.

A few rules

• Drink water between rounds.
• Do not go into the sauna straight after a heavy meal or alcohol.
• If you feel dizzy, step out and rest.

You can book a massage at the reception — best on a day you are not skiing.
