Mad Retreat Hotel
Alpine breathing room, at your own pace
The appeal here is less about retreating from life than finding a steadier pace within it. At MAD Retreat Hotel, the Alpine setting meets an easygoing mix of spa time, yoga, a meditation space and outdoor activities, making a stay restorative without centering it on an intensive spiritual programme. The property has 45 rooms, including mountain-facing options and individual chalet-style mazots, with choices for solo guests, friends and families; teenagers aged 14 and over are welcome. Between the sauna, pool, hot tub and massage services, there are plenty of ways to unwind after time outside. The wellness bar and restaurant serve vegetarian food, with vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free options noted. This is a paid hotel stay, with prices starting from EUR 345. Come for a gentle reset, fresh-air days and a flexible approach to wellbeing rather than a fixed meditation retreat.
