Wellness in the Alps.

The Swiss lakes have drawn people for the air and the water since the 19th century. The places that carry it on, and the mountains that keep a body honest.

Lake Lucerne

The lake of the cures.

Lake Lucerne has been a place of rest since the first steamers. The Bürgenstock resort, high above the water opposite Lucerne, reopened in 2017 with its Alpine Spa. Across the lake in Weggis, Chenot Palace runs its programs on the shore.

Lake Geneva and Bavaria

Montreux and Tegernsee.

Clinique La Prairie opened in Clarens, Montreux, in 1931 and still works from the same shore of Lake Geneva. North of the Alps, Lanserhof runs its house on the Tegernsee, about an hour south of Munich.

The mountains

The season that keeps you fit.

The Engadin Skimarathon has crossed the frozen lakes from Maloja to S-chanf, past St. Moritz, every March since 1969. In summer the same valleys turn to hiking and cycling, and Zermatt and Verbier open their high trails from June.
