Luxurious Spa Hotels in Switzerland that offer you an unforgettable experience

Imagine a now-covered mountain panorama on the horizon. Vast lakescapes, snow-covered fir trees and dreamy valleys. For many, this sight alone promises peace and relaxation, banning any stress from our lives. Now imagine enjoying this view from the edge of a heated panoramic pool, with a smoothie in your hand. And all you have to organize is your ayurvedic massage in the afternoon. Does this idea trigger a feeling of relaxation in you? If so, it might be time to treat yourself to a spa vacation. 

To what extent do spa vacations help us relax? 

Expert Lutz Hertel, executive chairman of the German Wellness Association, confirms in an interview with Stern.de: "Spa can do more than massage and facials." A spa vacation not only helps with physical ailments such as tension and back pain, it also alleviates sleep problems and feelings of stress. Spa vacations are a "journey of discovery to one's own sense of well-being", where body and mind are brought into harmony.

He also reports that despite the pandemic, the demand for wellness vacations has not died down. Especially the stress of this new life situation, all the home office and the long hours in front of the computer and TV screens have strengthened the need for nature and recreation. So it is important to listen to your body and look for relaxing destinations.
