The Alpina Gstaad is a luxury hotel where you can enjoy theSix Senses wellness expertise, in the heart of the Swiss mountains. After treading the snow, we love to sit in front of the fireplaces, to the sound of the crackling fire. Here, no stress, only relaxation. Wellness stays offer a holistic approach to sleep improvement, rejuvenation and detox.
peaks and summits
The hotel is an essential luxury address, just as much for its prestigious spa signed Six Senses and its well-being offer, only for its immediate access to mountain sports. The Alpina Gstaad enjoys one of the best geographical locations for indulging in sporting activities in the heart of nature, in winter as in summer. Various museums, excursions to the village of Gruyère (yes, the birthplace of this cheese), boat trips on Lake Thun, and other kinds of discovery activities are also possible nearby.
In a resolutely refined alpine decor, the atmosphere is very cozy. To the sound of wood crackling in the fireplace, you can read a few pages of a book, drink a detox infusion in front of the superb view of the mountains or even admire the many works of art in the hotel.
Right in the center of Switzerland, the hotel is located in Gstaad. To get there, the nearest airport is Saanen airfield (6.5 km from the hotel). Note that the village of Gstaad is also served by a train station.
An elegant chalet decor
The Alpina Gstaad has a charming range of 56 rooms and suites, all with private terrace and an exotic view. The decor is inspired by local craftsmanship in an alpine style. Woodwork, fireplaces made from local rocks, traditional furniture combine with contemporary modernity, always with refinement.
Among the different accommodations at The Alpina Gstaad, the Panorama Suite is unique, there is only one available. With 400m², it is the largest suite in the hotel. It is designed as a duplex, with an exclusive spa area. Fitness room, massage room and Jacuzzi occupy the top floor of the suite.
As an alternative to a nice cozy apartment, we appreciate the Grand Luxe Suites. They are arranged to feel like home. The large bedroom is adjacent to a dressing room, and the living room offers a dining area and a lounge area with a fireplace. A separate office is also part of this 100 m² suite.
The only Six Senses Spa in Switzerland
The Alpina Gstaad is home to the unique Six Senses spa from Switzerland. The prestigious holistic universe of Six Senses is essentially influenced by the ancient medicinal traditions of the Orient, supported by modern techniques as well.
Indoor and outdoor pools (including one specially for children), hot tubs, yoga studio, gym, and a juice bar complement the well-being treatments at the spa. With its holistic detox programs and anti-aging treatments, the spa menu is designed for all types of needs. Note that the spa plays the local card by collaborating with Dr. Burgener, a specialist in treatments that act against skin aging.
Within it, we find 12 treatment rooms including a room dedicated to color therapy, one to Ayurvedic science, one for colon hydration and a double cabin. Others offer a space focused on oriental treatments with hammam and therapies based on the benefits of mineral salts.
A flotation chamber also takes place at the Spa Six Senses. The principle is to float in a solution of Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) without any outside distraction. The five senses are thus completely at rest.
Enjoy the spa or the outdoors
All the wellness programs offered are created from a holistic philosophy, with the central idea of revitalize and fill with positive energy. This applies both mentally and physically. Several programs are based on the practice of yoga, such as those focusing on improving sleep, or simply on a discovery practice of yoga. the detox program is also based on personalized sessions of yoga, meditation and pranayama (breathing techniques). In addition to these practices, we benefit from other treatments during the stay such as a massage, a facial treatment and hydration of the colon.
There are also holistic experiences focusing on other goals: anti agingor one week according to the principles of Tibetan medicine. During this wellness stay, you will be able to discover the philosophy of the five elements of nature through your body, your mind and your soul. It’s a real adventure that leads to a better communion with his inner being. With a daily practice of meditation and Tibetan breathing, as well as treatments with singing bowls and traditional massages, one would almost forget that one is in Switzerland.
With such a framework, needless to say that outdoor sports activities can punctuate your stay. In winter, you have the opportunity to go skiing, rock climbing, ice skating or even sleigh rides. In summer, hiking, canoeing, rafting or even rounds of golf await you.
