Massage Alpe d’Huez: treat yourself to a wellness break at the summit

Like a discreet mountain refuge nestled at 1,800 meters altitude, the Spa des Alpes is a true ode to relaxation. Through its large picture windows, natural light floods the space, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.

In this mountain wellness area, everything has been designed to help you unwind: sensory pool, sauna, hammam, experience showers, ice fountain… Here, time slows down, tensions fade away, and only the soft whisper of the peaks accompanies your relaxation.

With 500 m² dedicated to body and mind care, the Spa des Alpes invites you to explore spaces designed as a timeless escape. Discover our Cold & Light Room, bathed in natural light and designed to combine the benefits of cryotherapy and light therapy. These innovative technologies promote muscle recovery, stimulate circulation, and give the skin a radiant glow — for both face and body.

Seven treatment rooms, including one double room, welcome you for personalized rituals. The relaxation area, copper bathtubs, and the delicate scent of altitude complete this invitation to slow down.

For an unforgettable experience, indulge in Alpinothérapie®: an exclusive approach inspired by the treasures of the mountains and unique treatment protocols, designed to deeply revitalize body and mind.

Every massage offered at the Spa des Alpes is an invitation to immerse yourself in the soothing atmosphere of the alpine heights.

Indulge in a relaxing massage, designed to release tensions and awaken the senses, or a sports massage, ideal after a bike ride or a hike on the trails of Alpe d’Huez. Our facial treatments offer a moment of pure harmony, while prenatal massages gently accompany expectant mothers.

Our signature massages immerse you in the mineral and revitalizing universe of the mountains. Thanks to our partnership with Gemology, a brand specializing in treatments based on semi-precious stones and trace elements, each treatment becomes a true ritual of beauty and energy.

Whether you're an athlete, a traveler in search of rejuvenation, or simply a relaxation enthusiast, our team will guide you to the experience that best suits your needs.

A unique concept developed and practiced exclusively at Grandes Rousses Hotel & Spa, Alpinothérapie® invites you to experience exclusive well-being inspired by the virtues of the mountains. Drawing on principles similar to those of thalassotherapy at the seaside, Alpinothérapie® is adapted to the mountains and revolves around five key elements: altitude, cold, light, minerals, and plants.

Benefiting from a region rich in flora and minerals, Alpinothérapie® harnesses the natural resources of the Oisans to offer you a one-of-a-kind wellness experience. Combined with physical and contemplative activities in the alpine pastures of Alpe d’Huez to reconnect with nature, and body therapies including massage, lithotherapy, light therapy, and cryotherapy, along with Gemology’s cosmetic range, these resources amplify the benefits of a mountain stay.

Complementing the treatments, our relaxation area invites you to slow down and savor the silence and serenity of the mountains. The relaxation room welcomes you into a cozy cocoon, ideal for rest and reconnection. Altitude acts as a catalyst: better oxygenation, easier muscle recovery, a calm mind… Here, every breath becomes a source of renewed energy.

Treating yourself to a wellness massage in the mountains is much more than a simple treatment — it’s a moment to reconnect with yourself, in a unique setting where nature and altitude amplify the benefits.

After physical exertion, a targeted massage releases the tensions accumulated from cycling, hiking, or trail running. For those seeking calm and serenity, wellness treatments relieve stress, promote better sleep, and provide deep relaxation.

Far from the hustle and bustle of city life, in the soothing silence of the mountains, the body regenerates, and the mind is freed. Pure air, sunlight, altitude… Everything combines to turn this moment into a true vitality boost.
