Les Fermes de Marie is first and foremost an authentic place, where the charm of yesteryear offers cocooning mountain interludes as if suspended in time. But it's also a top-flight wellness address. In the spa area, a warm setting dotted with ancient woods, birch bark and granite, in perfect harmony with the surrounding nature, treatments are given using Pure Altitude cosmetics. Pure Altitudecosmetics, born within these very walls 20 years ago.

It was in the local alpine garden that a botanist introduced my mother, Jocelyne Sibuet, to the virtues of Edelweiss," explains Marie Sibuet, Managing Director of Maisons &Hotels Sibuet.

The "gourmandise alpine" treatment, à la carte at the spa, begins with a scrub - and an initial massage - with a formula evocatively named "Cristaux de neige" (sugar crystals). It continues in a Soft-Pack® system, a high-tech bed that offers a floating sensation while enveloping the skin in gentle warmth, while the body is covered in honey and mountain herbs. "This machine uses very little water and energy," explains Marie Sibuet. Finally, a few digitopressure maneuvers on the face plunge you into a state of absolute relaxation.
