It is hard to go past a hotel with the word 'relax' in its name and this pretty lodge in the Austrian Alps certainly delivers.  Its spa is well known, summer and winter. Set high in the Tirol above the picture postcard ski village of Obergurgl - wooden chalets, snow-covered roof tops, you get the drift (no pun intended).  The windows of the spa have a stunning snowy panorama but what happens inside is even more interesting. This is the place where the Alps meets Eastern wisdom and you can get everything here from lymphatic drainage to an Indian head massage; the perfect antidote to a day on the piste. The hotel also has a hamman, whirlpools and the highest outdoor heated pool in the Alps with steam curling to the crisp clear sky.  In the rest of the hotel works of art are hung between wooden beams, rooms have vistas of ice-creamy snow covered mountains and you can ski virtually to the doorstep.
