At the foot of the Matterhorn, the H-SPA of the Hermitage Hotel & Spa draws its unique character from the purity of local spring waters. A heated indoor pool, surrounded by bay windows that look out onto the mountains, whirlpool baths and an aquatic relaxation space blend harmoniously with this superb alpine setting. Personalized treatments using Bellefontaine skincare products reflect Swiss savoir-faire and dedicated to well-being and beauty.

Situated on the south side of the Matterhorn, the Cervinia ski resort is one of the highest in the world, peaking at 4,000 metres, and one of the few to cross the Italian-Swiss border. Choose between slaloming on the Swiss side, or a descent down the trails of the Aosta Valley. The Hermitage, this grand chalet has been designed in the purest of mountain traditions, with interiors of warm brown wood, and equipped with a spa to relax in after a day of intense skiing. The Whymper Suite, designed as a private chalet, boasts breathtaking views of the Matterhorn. Succumb to the beauty of the mountain.

Have a go at heli-skiing! Take a helicopter up to the Matterhorn (aka Mount Cervin), one of the highest mountains in the Alps at 4,478 m altitude. From up there, you can feast your eyes on the breathtaking sight of the Alps and Mont Blanc. Launch yourself from the top on your skis for a downhill thrill alongside an experienced instructor.  Talk about an adrenaline rush...!

Mid-air adrenaline rush! (Heli-skiing sessions, Matterhorn 360)

If cycling is second nature to you, then explore some new terrain with heli-biking, where a helicopter drops you at the top of a mountain and leaves you to hurtle back down! Take advantage of our tailor-made trails for mountain bikes, complete with various challenges to overcome. Want to take in the scenery with a smile on your face? Our electric bikes will help you reach the top without exerting too much effort! Hold on to your handlebars!

All kinds of bikes (heli-biking, mountain biking, electric bikes)

The mountains provide an ideal playing field for many sporting activities. Try scaling the frozen waterfalls of the Aosta Valley. Extreme sports enthusiasts can get back to nature this summer with some canyoning. Feel the power of the water, the rapids and the torrents. Prefer climbing steep rock faces? Take the via ferrata for an intense experience!

Mountain activities: ice climbing, canyoning, via ferrata

I couldn't live far from the mountains and alpine pastures of the valley where I was born, and the everyday life there. I am inspired by fragments of the lives of ordinary people who experience strong emotions every day, like joy, happiness, sadness and suffering. This is what I try to inject into the faces of my sculptures. I emphasise details which highlight the state of my characters' souls: wrinkled foreheads, slightly parted lips, eyes open wide. The Désarpa is the work which best represents my style, and which I sometimes set aside when I create modern sculptures with clean lines, without embellishment.

The soul of the mountain sculpted in wood

France, Italy and Switzerland all look towards Mont-Blanc (15,775 ft.), Europe's majestic summit. Depending on the slope, the valley, and the season, the massif reinvents itself. For the ten days, some people may prefer long summer walks, while others opt for the endlessly varied ski slopes... <a href="https://www.relaischateaux.com/us/destinations/routes-du-bonheur/emmanuel-renaut" target="_new"><b>See the itinerary</b></a>
