Join a Tibetan Healing Retreat at the Six Senses Spa
When you’re at The Alpina Gstaad, you cannot miss visiting the Six Senses Spa.

This retreat is available to you as a guest of The Alpina Gstaad throughout the year.
Wellness matters because it encompasses the holistic state of physical, mental and emotional well-being. Taking proactive steps towards wellness means acknowledging the interconnectedness of these aspects and understanding that a balanced and healthy lifestyle contributes to a more fulfilling life. In Tibet, people follow an esoteric philosophy that touches every aspect of life, emphasising the interconnectedness of the body, mind and nature. According to this tradition, the universe is formed by the primary five elements: Air, Water, Fire, Earth, and Space. These elements give rise to three humours, namely Wind, Bile and Phlegm. Achieving well-being, prosperity and spiritual fulfilment in Tibetan culture involves maintaining a balance among these humours. This equilibrium is achieved through proper nourishment, lifestyle choices, herbal remedies and external treatments. The Tibetan Healing Retreat at Six Senses Spa is a soothing experience that promises unparalleled peace and rejuvenation in the heart of the Swiss Alps. When you consult with a practitioner, they typically assess your body constitution through visual observation, pulse reading and questioning. Based on this evaluation, they recommend specific treatments and lifestyle adjustments tailored to your individual needs. You'll kick off the retreat with a 60-minute wellness screening based on Tibetan healing knowledge, followed by a session of Tibetan sound healing and a Kunye massage incorporating Hor-Me, small warm herbal poultices. On the final day, you'll experience Tsalung therapy, aimed at restoring your subtle wind and energy flow system and normalising any blocked channels. Throughout the program, you'll engage in daily sessions of meditation and Tibetan Yoga breathing to foster a sense of calm. The itinerary also includes a Six Senses Signature Massage called Tension Soother, a Yoga Nidra session and an indulgent Alchemy facial. Each element is thoughtfully curated to contribute to your overall relaxation and rejuvenation during this three-day retreat.
