Spa and Wellness

Help keep yourself injury free and in top form for skiing, or simply relax and ease away the aches and pains from a hard day pummelling the pistes, and the tensions of everyday life.

All our chalets have outdoor hot tubs, four also have either a steam room / hammam or a sauna.

MASSAGE SERVICE

Purple Ski is one of the few companies to employ in-house therapsits: we have two a permanent, qualified and experienced sports therapists on our team this year, who will treat you in the comfort of your chalet:

We would recommend that you book in advance to avoid disappointment.

James Townsend

James Townsend has worked as a personal trainer and sports masseur for the last 4 years with a wide range of clients ranging from elite sportsmen (including Olympic sprinters) to 70+ year olds of both genders (golfers and office workers), looking to improve health and fitness through training and diet.

An athlete himself (he was British U20 Triple Jump Champion in 2005 - among other achievements) he learned about the benefits of massage to keep himself injury free and in top form. He obtained his SMA Level 4 Sports Massage Diploma in 2007 and has a vast amount of massage experience, mainly concentrating on deep tissue massage and active release techniques to reduce muscle soreness and treat injuries. However, over time he has also developed his skills to give relaxing and soothing treatments, at the same time as treating painful areas, to suit all types of clientele.

As a PICP Level 1 Strength and Conditioning Coach, he also works with clients to assess their current diet and lifestyle, and devising individual training and diet programmes.

Tamzin Grimes

Tamzin Grimes obtained her Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training and Sports Massage Therapy in February 2009 and since then, has been applying her skills at a private gym / sports centre in Dorset, also developing a wide base of private clients. She decided to concentrate on massage, so in May 2011 become self-employed, treating on average for about 10 hours per week, often much more during summer weekends as she also treats her fellow handlers at "Dog Agility" competitions and related shows (this is her hobby - she has competed in many regional and national finals including Crufts!). She has also treated regularly some high end athletes and sportmen.

Tamzin is also trained in foot and Indian Head massage.
