Switzerland has a long tradition when it comes to health and recovery. Today some of Europe's best-known medical spas are here. Here is what sets them apart and which house suits which goal.
- Swiss medical spas combine specialist medicine with mountains and lakes.
- Focuses range from check-ups to Mayr and rehabilitation.
- Prices are high, and so is the quality of the medicine, as a rule.
What sets Swiss medical spas apart
Many houses work closely with hospitals and specialists. Add to that locations that are restful in themselves: lakes, forests, mountain panoramas. And hospitality that is quiet rather than loud.
The focuses
Some houses focus on comprehensive check-ups and specialist medicine, others on Mayr and fasting, others on rehabilitation after surgery. What matters is that the focus suits your goal.
- Check-ups and prevention with specialists
- F.X. Mayr and fasting
- Mobility and rehabilitation
- Balance for body and mind
In Switzerland, medicine is rarely loud, but almost always thorough.
What a stay costs
Switzerland is expensive, at a medical spa too. Medical programmes usually come on top of the room. You can see current room prices on Luxly live; the houses put the programmes together with you.
Getting there and location
Most houses are easy to reach by train and boat; Zurich is often only one to two hours away. Many guests travel by train and deliberately leave the car at home.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need insurance for Switzerland?
For privately booked prevention you usually pay yourself. Check beforehand with your insurer what they cover.
Is German spoken there?
In German-speaking Switzerland, yes. Most houses also speak English.
Which currency do I pay in?
On Luxly you see prices in euros. On site, extras may be charged in Swiss francs.
Luxly does not provide medical advice. Whether a programme suits you is something to discuss with the house's medical team or your own doctor.
