The Lodge

verbier, switzerland
Sir Richard Branson’s alpine retreat, The Lodge, is
a refreshing nine-bedroom mountain hideaway. The
main lift to take you up the mountain is very close,
and the town of Verbier is only a ten-minute walk.
Back at The Lodge, there’s no shortage of things to
do — bask in the indoor swimming pool, indoor
and outdoor Jacuzzis, steam room and spa; enjoy
the party room, with plasma-screen television and
games console. Come winter, there’s even a private
ice rink. Outdoor activities abound, from mountain
biking and hiking to some of the most acclaimed
skiing in the world — service to and from the lifts
is available.

Distance from Geneva Airport (GVA): 51 mi/82 km

Gangrene is the medical term for the death of soft tissue as a result of the loss of blood supply to the affected part of the body. The loss of blood supply in turn can result from a disorder of the circulatory system, from trauma, or from infection. Gangrene most commonly involves the fingers, toes, hands, or feet, but can also develop within the internal organs. There are two major types of gangrene, dry and wet. Dry gangrene is caused by a gradual loss of blood flow through the arteries. It typically develops slowly over a period of years as the person impaired by atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), diabetes, or long-term smoking.
