Health Destination

Breathe in & chill out.

Of course beauty comes from the inside. But that’s not quite enough. You can drink lots of water and eat the healthiest of foods, but without special care our skin and body suffer with time. More and more hotels are offering a wide range of nurturing treatments to help counteract this process. These are based not only on Far Eastern traditions and oriental rituals, but also on techniques using local plants and herbs. The use of such natural sources of energy has a beneficial long-term effect on health and beauty – and helps promote a sense of wellbeing.

Land of health

The description fits perfectly. For no other country can match Switzerland’s uniquely unspoilt nature or healthy climate. The celebrated alpine air is as pure as it is invigorating; the lakes and rivers are so clean that they are safe to drink from. A perfect environment, then, in which to promote your own health and beauty to the highest level. Choose the natural option – come to Switzerland.

A label that guarantees quality

“Alpine Wellness” is a new seal of quality that will help you on your personal journey. It applies to wellness hotels in the alpine region (Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Italy). Five Swiss hotels have so far met the strict criteria and won certification. All enjoy a close connection to their own region in terms of cuisine, the herbal treatments they use or their choice of construction materials. And central to all their activities is the promotion of health and beauty.

Mountain oases and southern sunshine

The pursuit of “Alpine Wellness” in the Swiss mountains is becoming more and more fashionable, and the number of devotees is rising steadily. Particularly popular with guests – of which an increasing proportion are men – are the new hammams. Alongside the high alpine spas, those in the sunny southern canton of Ticino are proving to be a big draw, thanks to their incomparable Mediterranean flair and the lush natural beauty of their setting.
