Hotel Hof Weissbad
2nd place: Therapeutic fasting, Thalasso peelings and adventure pool: the modern 4-star superior hotel in Appenzellerland stimulates health awareness and offers the whole range of well-being.
On clouds
Transformation for body, mind and soul - the Hotel Hof Weissbad is the only certified center for modern Mayr medicine in Switzerland. For those who don't know, the Austrian Franz Xaver Mayr once believed that milk and bread rolls were the best way to stimulate the intestines and prevent illness. The F.X. Mayr cure helps with chronic ailments, so-called diseases of civilization and especially prophylactically in cases where conventional medicine cannot yet diagnose an illness. Ideally lasting two to three weeks, the cure at the 4-star superior hotel focuses on detoxification and purification of the body - including a soothing abdominal massage that will bring your inner self back into harmony.
Pure regeneration
Enjoy complete relaxation in the exciting indoor and outdoor pools with sparkling spring water. In summer, the deep blue water invites you to take a refreshing swim, while in winter, clouds of steam enchant the waves. The 33°C water is heated by the hotel's own geothermal probe heat pump, as is the majority of the total hot water consumption. The sauna world is also a true feel-good landscape: the tepidarium, Finnish sauna, Turkish steam bath and infrared cabins are perfect for a good sweat, while the frigidarium, experience showers and fresh air treading pool provide refreshment afterwards. Flexible joints, an efficient heart and effectively working muscles, all of which radiate dynamism and strength - you can train these in the fitness center - also under the guidance of a personal trainer - on ultra-modern equipment. So you see: At the Hotel Hof Weissbad, it's easy to keep fit with lots of fun exercise.
100% Appenzell
Chef Käthi Fässler and her team have cooked their way to their 16th Gault Millau point. On the other side of the food chain is the Hof Käserei cheese dairy, which narrowly misses out on purification and serves guests a magnificent Appenzeller cheese fondue made to its own recipe. Spa guests should not venture too close, as this could jeopardize their diet! It's better to take a short tour of the herb garden to avoid thinking about food. Here you will find 1,000 square meters of soothing medicinal herbs and tranquillity that both detoxifies and slows you down - but don't linger too long in front of the culinary herbs, but continue straight on to the forest nature trail, past the Weissenbach stream and up to the fantastic viewpoint. And if you then return completely relaxed, you can treat yourself to a tea from the buffet on each floor to prepare you for the next spa day.
