Spa & Wellness

The 3,000 m2 spa offers personalized wellness programs with personal trainers and specialized classes. Guests have access to a heated indoor pool, an outdoor infinity pool overlooking the lake, a hammam, a steam room, and separate men's and women's saunas. Spa/wellness packages include body wraps, scrubs, facials, and couple massage sessions in exclusive private spa experiences.

Dining & Bars

The on-site gourmet restaurant serves Swiss and Italian cuisine with local wine pairings. Guests can also order breakfast in the room, use the snack bar, or visit the coffee house on site. Special diet menus and kids' meals are available upon request.

Family-Friendly Accommodations

One-bedroom and two-bedroom apartment-style suites come with full kitchens, though dishware is available upon request for an extra fee. A kids' club operates on the property, and babysitting/child services are offered for families. An additional charge of CHF 35 per night applies for pets, which are allowed in rooms, common areas, and bars but not in the spa or restaurant.
