Italian wellness company QC Terme has opened its first location outside of Italy in the French ski town of Chamonix Mont Blanc. The 3,000sq m (32,292sq ft) spa features more than 30 multi-sensory wellness practices, including sensory tubs, a Japanese bath, Kneipp path, Vichy forest showers, bio-saunas, steam baths, solariums, whirlpools, chromotherapy, hydromassage baths, salt and olfactory rooms, relaxation rooms as well as massage treatment rooms and a restaurant and bar. An infinity pool has been designed so that its reflection merges with the water of the adjacent Alpine lake, all with views of the Bossons Glacier. The thermal centre has been inspired by the ancient Roman baths, where water was also heated to between 34-36°. An olfactory space includes fragrances designed to awaken energy, while the themed relaxation rooms include an antique sleigh bed or a gently massaging waterbed.
