THE SPAThe alluring Occitania Spa in this tranquil mountain lodge feels like a calming, aromatic cavern, with flickering candles and a mysterious atmosphere.

SETTING With 72 trails, an average annual snowfall of 32 feet, and a top elevation of 8,234 feet, Spain's quaint Pyrenees resort of Baqueira, which lies 220 miles north of Barcelona, is a winter-sport-lover's haven.

SIGNATURE TREATMENT The Essence of Cassis Massage uses oil from local mountain-grown berries. After luxuriating in a hot soak, walk on the pebbled "reflexology pathway," and let the smooth stones underfoot massage your soles while streams of water run over your calves and ankles.

MORE THAN MASSAGE Alpine skiing, mushing, mountaineering, and everything snow.

CUISINE Sink your teeth into foie-gras tacos at one of the four resort eateries, and follow it with a glass of mulled wine or a shot of cassis, the locally made, sweet purple liqueur.
