For those preferring a summer break, a four-day wellness getaway will be led by Mountain Beach Fitness Retreats, who are highly experienced in delivering tailored fitness and wellbeing retreats in the mountains.

The wellness retreat is available over two dates this summer – 18th-21st June and 17th–20th September. Rates are priced in Swiss Francs for three nights and start from CHF 2,637 – (AUD4,025 based on today’s current exchange rate) for single occupancy.

The programme is incomparable to any other and is varied, fun and designed to test all aspects of fitness that will challenge the body, change perspective and refresh the mind. Guests will start with a pre-arrival consultation where they’ll each set personal goals to immerse themselves in a mind and body transformation. Group sizes are kept small, allowing sessions to be customised to make sure guests keep on track.

The days will be spent immersed in nature, with the stunning Swiss mountains as a picture-perfect backdrop. The altitude of the Swiss Alps will test guests physically but balances nicely with daily yoga and fresh delicious food (prepared by The Lodge’s award-winning trained chefs), leaving guests feeling revived and energised.

Between working on fitness and well-being, whether that’s hiking or practicing yoga, guests will be able to retreat back to The Lodge to relax and unwind. Chefs will prepare healthy balanced meals using locally sourced ingredients and guests will be able to continue to enjoy the fresh mountain air with the choice of al fresco dining.
