Beat Blue Monday with Cristal Spa

Monday, 19 January is known as Blue Monday, a day reputed to be rather gloomy.

Blue Monday is considered the most depressing day of the year. This concept was popularised in 2005 by a British psychologist, who combined factors such as the winter weather, post-holiday debts, low motivation, and the feeling of having failed New Year’s resolutions. Although the formula is widely debated scientifically, Blue Monday has become a cultural reference, a reminder that spirits can be low after the festive season and that taking care of oneself is essential.

At Cristal Spa, we have the perfect solution to help you get through this challenging day: a gentle and restorative escape! Three locations await you, between the lake and the mountains.

 

Cristal Spa Annecy is located on the garden level of the iconic Impérial Palace****. It offers a 600m² space with a contemporary ambiance. Inspired by the contrasts of nature, its wellness area combines design and innovative facilities for an exceptional sensory experience: an overflow glass pool with waterfall, comfortable armchairs, sauna, hammam, sensory shower and ice fountain, along with intimate treatment cabins. Everything invites relaxation and total letting go.

Even without visiting the spa, you can create a relaxing moment at home: turn off your screens, light a candle, and give yourself 10 minutes to breathe deeply. Inhale slowly through your nose, exhale through your mouth, and focus on every sensation in your body. This simple ritual helps release tension, clear the mind, and restore a sense of calm… free and effective, to repeat as often as needed!
