What temperature is the water?
The water at QC Terme Chamonix is heated to 34-36˚C
Is there a sauna at QC Terme Chamonix?
Yes. A visit to the QC Terme Chamonix sauna is a great way to purify your body.
It’s a great way to eliminate toxins from the body and reduce water retention. The increase in body temperature also has beneficial effects on the muscles, which relax and give you a pleasant feeling of well-being.
A new sauna named after the British explorer and mountaineer Albert Smith was opened in 2019.
What massage options are there?
QC Terme’s attention to detail means you can create your own bespoke massage, depending on whether you’re looking for a facial, back, neck or foot massage. Each massage costs EUR44 for 25 minutes and can be booked online.
Guests staying with Ski Weekend can book sessions via our concierge service.
A longer traditional massage or anti-stress massage or costs EUR78 for 50 minutes. Other treatments include toning massages, sports massage and deluxe longer massages lasting 75 minutes.
When did the QC Terme Chamonix open?
The QC Terme Chamonix opened in December 2018. Construction started more than a year beforehand. You can see from the video below some of the craftsmanship that went into the design of this striking building.
The art of QC Terme Chamonix
Visitors to QC Terme Chamonix will almost certainly notice the peaceful watercolour on linen painting on display. The title is ‘Mont Blanc seen from Chamonix’ and was created by Paolo Galetto, an artist and illustrator.
What is the Aperiterme?
Every day from 6pm to 8pm, visitors can enjoy an exclusive aperitif courtesy of QC Terme Chamonix.
It’s a great opportunity to combine flavor and relaxation, while enjoying delicious dishes – all while in your dressing gown – and it’s free, included in your admission price.
When is the best time to go to the QC Terme?
QC Terme Chamonix is a wonderful place to visit at any time of day, but we love the ‘blue hour’ – that magical moment of the day when the light leaves and darkness arrives.
