Hola amigooooos!!
This week I’m taking you to my newly discovered detox sanctuary in Courchevel. My favorite ski resort in France where I spent many New Years Eves partying, has become the ultimate luxury sport, fitness and health retreat for summer. Welcome to !
HOW TO GET HERE
is located on a complex of 3 luxury chalets in Courchevel. The best way to arrive is to fly to Geneva airport and from then drive 2 hours to Courchevel village. The road is beautiful as you pass by Annecy and the lake. Perfect to take some pics along the way 🙂
The idea of coming to the retreat is to reconnect your body and mind. Challenge, boost and revitalise yourself and purify your body. offers a week-long sports and wellness programme as well as a pop-in day version.
A dream vacation where you can disconnect and take care of yourself.
