DISCOVER THE BENEFITS OF THE COLD IN THE MOUNTAINS
Why not come and enjoy an unforgettable experience in Tignes that is intense, revitalising and deeply soothing?
Inspired by Nordic rituals and the proven techniques of polar explorers, immersion in ice-cold water (between 1.5°C and 3°C) is a unique wellness practice. It invites you to slow down, breathe mindfully, reconnect with your body and embrace discomfort with serenity.
It is not a test, but an a journey, supervised in a safe, accessible environment and guided step by step by a cold weather expert.
THE ICE BATH SESSION PROGRAMME
