La Cordée des Alpes, member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, is one of Verbier’s most reputed establishments and home to a fabulously discerning spa where a timeless carved wooden décor is cleverly imprinted with sleek modern style. It boasts a 15 m pool, heated to a comfortable 29°C, complete with an open fireplace and adjacent Jacuzzi, a sauna, steam room and three separate massage booths where guests are pampered with Cinq Mondes and Karin Herzog treatments. The spa is open to the public every day, from 10.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m. but can also be privatised if you prefer something more intimate.
