But luxury increasingly includes wellness, and many are buzzing about  a best-kept-secret for such located just about 25 minutes away from the Park City area.

Homestead Crater

First, there is the world’s only calcium domed 10,000 year-old “crater” located in a section of Utah called Midway.  The “crater” is home to a natural hot spring that maintains a year-round temperature of approximately 90 degrees Farenheit.  The waters are deep, plunging down to about 65 feet.  Visitors don life jackets and float in the warm, natural healing waters that are wonderfully comforting.  In the winter, the experience is particularly other-worldly since the cold air above the warm water creates a rather dense fog all around.

Ice Castles

In addition, Ice Castles are located about 10 minutes away from Zermatt. Each winter 4,000 highly skilled artisans create awe-inspiring art sculptures, tunnels, slides, towers and much more complete with color-changing LED lights that create a rich experience that can easily serve as a moving meditation to help bring one back to center.

But the real fortune here is found in the little-known crystal healing studio located about 10 minutes away from the natural hot spring.  Developed and overseen by empathetic healer Teresa Morin, the studio offers realignment of energies through powerful, rich quartz crystal singing bowls that put any typical spa sound bath experience to shame.  Even the table for sessions is crafted out of sumptuous precious and powerful crystals and gems of various types.  This is sound-healing at its deepest. In addition, Morin also offers special Theta healing that works at a subconscious level to change any negative patterns at their very root.  But it is Morin’s unique temperament and approach that makes this a magical experience from the first moment.  This is about recapturing a natural state of harmony and balance that deep relaxation incites. Morin can also provide the series via phone as well. Prices upon request.

The opulence of the Park City, Utah area is for the taking on a variety of levels.  Such experiences during travel are truly priceless.
