The vinotherapy spa is too tempting to pass up. Tucked into the inn's 36 wooded acres, it's the perfect place to relax as the snow falls. Try the wine barrel soak, with French chardonnay grape-seed extract, and then sweat away your tension in the steam room to make the experience last longer.

The region around Leukerbad is rich in another earthy resource.

Chardonnay facials and sauvignon-spiked soaks are a potent new trend, but vinotherapy dates to the Romans.
