Skiing, Verbier

This type of wellness trades in sound baths and facials for plyometric training, systematic stretching and high insensitivity training at even higher altitudes.

Guided ski tours with a qualified professional is followed by ski specific fitness training and active recovery sessions, with bodyweight sessions, HIIT and yoga giving some variety to your days.
