Ultimate Mental Retreat Hotspot at Lake Constance!

All roads lead to the I: In the MentalSpa of Thomas Fritsch and his wife Diana, located on the idyllic Pfänder mountain above Lake Constance, you learn to find yourself and a healthy lifestyle. The ways to get there are playful.

Es gibt viele Gründe, das Hotel Fritsch am Berg zu besuchen. Da ist zum einen die fantastische Lage am Pfänder, dem Hausberg von Bregenz, der einen Blick übers Dreiländereck Deutschland/Österreich/Schweiz und den Lake Constance erlaubt, oder die fantastische Küche von Franz Fritsch, die mit regionalen und saisonalen Köstlichkeiten verführt. Vor allem findet man hier aber eine Oase des Friedens und der Ruhe – die natürlichen Voraussetzungen der Umgebung und das lukullische Setting unterstützen das, was Hoteliersgattin Diana Sicher-Fritsch vor einigen Jahren initiierte und mittlerweile zu einem richtungsweisenden Modell in der gesamten Spa-Landschaft aus arbeitete: eine Auszeit-Insel mit einmaligen Anwendungen und Behandlungen, die es den Gästen ermöglicht, nachhaltig Lebensgewohnheiten zu ändern.

"There is a connection between landscape and emotions, but it is the unique combination of the place, the environment, the advice and the food that gives our guests a basis for opening up here," Diana Sicher-Fritsch explains in conversation, referring to her concept, which includes individual methods for getting fit for everyday life - true to her motto: "Wellness goes hand in hand with body and emotions. We offer here the possibility of acquiring knowledge over healthy Lebensführung. Mental wellness is designed to help people cope better with everyday life." Above all, it's about a change in perspective that reverberates in jobs and lifestyles. For example, stress resilience and regenerative capacity are measured using medical biofeedback measurements. As a result, the guest learns during the training to actively and without aids positively change his vital functions and can thus find out his individually most effective relaxation method. Coaching appointments are supplemented by individually tailored spa treatments, breathing training is paired with education: "The mind must not fall by the wayside at a time when you are doing something for your body," emphasizes Sicher-Fritsch.

So bietet das Konzept des MentalSpa nicht nur einen geschützten Raum für Gäste, wieder zu sich zu finden, sondern auch einen Wissensschatz, der seinesgleichen sucht. Alle Angebote haben einen ganzheitlichen Mehrwert für die Gäste, den sie sofort abfragen können – etwa das Forest bathing, dem man natürlich im hauseigenen Forst frönen kann: Die blutdrucksenkende Wirkung ist nachgewiesen. Hier ist eben alles wissenschaftlich untermauert – Frau Sicher-Fritsch, die diplomierte Lebens- und Unternehmensberaterin ist, kennt keine halben Sachen. So betreibt sie auch stets intensiv Grundlagenforschung und hat jetzt auch eine Masterarbeit zum Thema Mental Wellness nachgereicht; bald wird auch ein Buch dazu erscheinen. Technisch ist das alles trotzdem nicht, Freude und Genuss kommen hier niemals zu kurz. Nur: Davon muss man sich persönlich überzeugen. Unbedingt.
