An assortment of summer alpine treats

Virgin Limited Edition, Sir Richard Branson’s privately owned collection of award-winning luxury retreats, is offering three exceptional ways for guests to enjoy The Lodge this summer between the 19 June and 20 September 2009.

Included in all three offers is three nights’ accommodation for two people with all meals and drinks including alcoholic beverages and fine champagne; roundtrip transfers to all the activities and 24 hour driver service within Verbier.

For the adrenaline junkies, the ‘Alpine Escapade’ summer adventure is ideal. Guests can create their own exciting experience from a range of activities, choosing three from the list below:

- Tandem paragliding
- Mountain biking
- Hiking
- Horse riding
- A round of golf at Verbier Golf Course
- Spa treatments to the value of CHF 250 per person

Rates start from £1,050 per person for three nights and are based on double occupancy.

For those who have never played golf in the Alps then the ‘Golf with Altitude’ offer is the perfect opportunity – the views over the mountains are so spectacular that they may have trouble concentrating on their swing!

The offer includes one round of golf at Verbier Golf Course and one round of golf at Chamonix Golf Course.

Verbier Golf Course is situated only a five minute drive from The Lodge, this par 69 18-hole course is built at an altitude of 1600 metres and each hole has fantastic views over the surrounding mountain ranges. Chamonix Golf Course is a stunning one hour car journey from The Lodge. This 18-hole course has a par of 72 and has spectacular views of Mont Blanc.

Rates start from £885 per person for three nights and are based on double occupancy.

If the idea of all that activity sounds a little too much there is also the opportunity to relax and rejuvenate in the Swiss Alps with a ‘Summer Spa Retreat’.

Guests can unwind with one spa treatment chosen from a wide range of treatments on offer:

- Le Grand Classique (75 minutes): YonKa’s exclusive treatment for deep cleansing, restoring and refining. This relaxing facial is tailored to your skin and uses a variety of botanical extracts to ensure a radiant complexion.
- Thermo-Therapy Back bliss (45 minutes): Both hot and cold basalt stones are used to loosen up the muscles of the back to literally melt away the tension in the shoulders. Alternating the temperatures of the stones on the body re-energises the mind, body and soul.
- A manicure and pedicure (60 minutes): Guests are welcome to choose an alternative treatment to the value of CHF 70 if they prefer.
- Guests will also receive a gift on departure.

If this isn’t enough then The Lodge also has an indoor pool, outdoor and indoor Jacuzzis and a steam room. Rates start from £885 per person for three nights and are based on double occupancy.
