Once back at the hotel after a beautiful day of skiing in the mountains, there always comes a sigh of relief once you have pulled off that last boot. Exhausted and content, you then change clothes, slipping into a plush bathrobe, enjoying your sense of personal wellbeing in the warming sauna accompanied by the scents of alpine herbs, or in the magnificent mists of a steam bath.

To refresh your body, immerse yourself in a pool of cold water every now and then, or allow yourself to be pampered with a relaxing massage. These are some of those moments when you feel, when you exhale and take a deep cleansing breath, when you truly enjoy setting aside this time just for you alone.

Far removed from the daily grind, but closer to who you truly are, doing nothing, other than being happy, profane, perhaps, but so precious.
