Latest edition : 27 July 2014

The Beatus wellness area is huge: it stretches as far as the eye can see with the lake and the surrounding mountains. Appeasement guaranteed from the balcony of your room, the spa terraces or even under the trees in the park.

The whole complex dedicated to well-being (spaces of 2000 m2) includes a large indoor swimming pool, a generous outdoor saltwater pool with always a breathtaking view of the lake and the mountains, a Vitalita spa with many massages (relaxation, or medical) and beauty treatments, two sauna areas. “Classic” sauna with Kneipp basin, three different saunas and steam baths: steam bath with essences of flowers and herbs, bio sauna, with light therapy, Finnish sauna with applications of honey .... The second space of sauna, the "Bamboo", is entirely decorated in an Asian style. Magnificent ! It is Milo who watches with great pride these two spaces. To rest afterwards, head to “le petit oubli”, a rest room upstairs, with beds with water mattresses, individual relaxation music in the headphones!

As the Vitalita spa at the Beatus managed by Jutta Unterberger has an efficient team, don't forget to book massages and selected treatments before coming. Most therapists like Ornello Bennardo have training in medical massage, supplemented with many options (osteopathy, reflexology, etc.) They don't even have to ask where it hurts, their expert fingers immediately find the areas with problems that they then work without mercy ... Difficult to make a choice. It is therefore also possible to reserve time and then decide with the therapist on the most suitable massage.

Here are just a few proposals, apart from the classic massage which provides relaxation and appeasement:

Lymphatic drainage: helps prevent water retention, drives away fatigue.

Acidosana massage: activates deacidification, stimulates the flow of liquids in the body, helps to regulate the metabolism

Breuss-Dorn massage: to relax the spine

Stone Therapy: the “real one”, works the chakras with hot basalt stones and cold marble. Provides total relaxation of body and mind.

Balinese Boreh treatment: sovereign in case of fever, muscle aches, headaches, arthritis and colds.

Aquamotion: to experience at least once! We are carried in hot saline water, the joints soften, the muscles are lengthened and massaged, the spine regains all its mobility. All meridians are stimulated. The therapist can correct bad postures in the body; A real joy !

Wrap with hay, pine needles, peat, flowers; different formulas of bath, hammam treatment, skin and beauty treatments, the choice is very wide.

Two lines of skincare products deserve to be mentioned: Cellcosmet (and Cellmen especially for male skin), products which call upon cellulotherapy with the application to the skin of bio-integral cells (plant and marine extracts, oils essential natural).

And Alpienne, a range of products made from old mountain recipes. All the materials come from controlled wild harvesting in the Alps. Without chemicals or artificial substances, these herbs and plants are transformed into natural care products.

All treatments are also suitable for men who no longer hesitate to take advantage of these benefits!
