Stay Mountain F.X. Mayr Retreat
3rd place: Our daily lives often present challenges—which makes it all the more important to take care of our own well-being.
At the BLEIB BERG F.X. Mayr Retreat in the picturesque region of Carinthia, every season is dedicated to health, gut-gentle nutrition, and holistic well-being. With Prof. Dr. Harald Stossier serving as scientific advisor and Dr. Georg Stossier as medical director, BLEIB BERG ranks among the leading centres of excellence for modern Mayr medicine. The expertise of these two physicians plays a decisive role in shaping BLEIB BERG’s medical approach: Prof. Dr. Harald Stossier has been instrumental in shaping Modern Mayr Medicine, and together with his son, Dr. Georg Stossier, they combine their many years of experience with the latest medical findings and a personalized approach to each individual.
“Fasting does not mean deprivation at any cost, but rather a medically supervised fresh start that enables regeneration on all levels. A Modern Mayr Cure creates the framework for focusing on what matters most—namely, oneself,” says Dr. Georg Stossier, Medical Director at the BLEIB BERG F.X. Mayr Retreat.
At BLEIB BERG, the emphasis is not on a standardized treatment program but on the individual guest and their unique starting point. At the outset, each guest’s health profile and personal requirements are meticulously assessed, and subsequent measures are tailored accordingly. The experienced team of physicians provides attentive support throughout the entire stay, crafting a bespoke program that encompasses diagnostics, nutrition, exercise, and therapies. The goal is not to focus on short-term symptoms, but to take a holistic view of the body’s individual needs and initiate lasting changes. At the heart of this approach is Modern Mayr Medicine: the combination of targeted intestinal relief, individually tailored nutrition, exercise, and medical therapies helps the body activate its natural regenerative processes. After all, a healthy gut not only plays a vital role in the immune system but is also closely linked to well-being, mood, sleep, and concentration. In this way, BLEIB BERG combines medical expertise with a holistic approach that addresses both body and mind equally.
920 meters above sea level—as Europe’s highest-altitude F.X. Mayr Retreat in Europe—guests sense a soothing distance from everyday life simply by virtue of the special high-altitude setting. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, noise, and visual overload, the nervous system finds it easier to regain balance here. The tranquil surroundings support deep relaxation and promote lasting regeneration.
Another singular feature is the property’s own therapeutic climate tunnel, “Friedrich.” Deep within the mountain, the temperature remains a constant 8 °C year-round, accompanied by 99% humidity. Recognized since 1998, this therapeutic climate provides a particularly welcome refuge for allergy sufferers, as pollutant and allergen levels are virtually zero, even during peak pollen seasons. A scientific study by the University of Giessen also demonstrates that the effect is not merely a subjective sensation. The results: Asthma patients showed significant improvements in lung function, while those with long COVID benefited from stronger respiratory muscles and reduced shortness of breath. People with COPD also reported a significantly improved quality of life.
