The Himmel Spa at The Franz Klammer is located in Telluride’s sister town, The Mountain Village, a short gondola ride up the mountain from our box canyon.

On Wednesday, the Klammer is hosting Sunny Griffin, founder/owner of Astara Skin Care. The event takes place 3 – 5 p.m. and is open to the general public. Aestheticians are on hand to do free mini- facials (about 20 minutes each). Massage therapists will do chair massage. There is food and Astara gifts.

The backstory: When the former top fashion model and TV host moved to Telluride, Sunny Griffin found the extreme dryness resulting from the high altitude was wreaking havoc on her skin. She founded Astara Biogenic Skincare on the belief that optimum health and beauty is achieved by the intake of raw, chemical-free, enzyme-rich foods. Because the skin is a true measure of internal health, Astara uses only the finest raw botanically based, active ingredients to achieve superior results without harming the body or the environment. Astara products are sold in top spas such as The Himmel, nationwide to the discriminating customer.
