Where to Unwind: Alpine Spas You Shouldn’t Miss

Forestis Spa, Italy

Set at 1,800 metres amid the forests and mountains of the Dolomites, the Forestis Spa is a nature-inspired wellness sanctuary. Rooted in Celtic wisdom, its philosophy celebrates the healing power of four native trees – mountain pine, spruce, larch, and Swiss stone pine – with rituals that restore balance through the natural frequencies of wood, stone and sound. 

Guests can relax in Alpine-wood saunas, the tranquil Silent Room with its fireplace, or indoor and outdoor pools with panoramic mountain views. Wyda, the Celtic practice of movement and meditation, enhances energy, focus, and inner calm, making each visit a deeply restorative experience.

WaldSPA, Austria

The Lake House enhances the experience with an onsen pool, lake sauna, and relaxation rooms, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the surrounding nature. Every detail is designed to foster deep relaxation, rejuvenation, and harmony with the alpine landscape.
