The Tschuggen Hotel Group has created Moving Mountains, a holistic lifestyle programme to help people reconnect with nature and celebrate joy.

The Swiss-based group, which incorporates Tschuggen Grand Hotel Arosa, Carlton Hotel St. Moritz, Hotel Eden Roc Ascona and Valsana Hotel Arosa,has a corporate vision to ‘restore the value of time’ for its guests.

“The interpretation of luxury has changed dramatically in recent years and the element of time is irreplaceable. Through our Moving Mountains approach, we are able to restore time’s true value.”

To inspire conscientious travel, its dedicated team worked with external experts to develop the new offering based on five pillars of wellness: Move, Play, Nourish, Rest; and Give.

Five pillars of 'Moving Mountains'

MOVE

Inspired by the natural environments of the group’s four hotels, functional fitness and yoga sessions prepare guests for the outdoor pursuits available at each location. The expert team can train and guide experiences including hiking, skiing, cycling and climbing.

PLAY

Central to this pillar is the concept of fun, brought to life through empowering expeditions that enable guests to challenge themselves physically, or to master a new skill, while immersed in the surrounding nature. Curated adventures also introduce guests to local artisans and producers so they can become immersed in the area’s tradition and culture.

NOURISH

In collaboration with renowned London nutritionist, Rhaya Jordan, the Tschuggen Hotel Group’s Michelin-starred chefs have created locally sourced, plant-based ‘Moving Mountains’ menus, prepared with nutrient-dense ingredients.

REST

Working closely with Hofklinik, a leading sleep centre in Lucerne, the Group has developed the optimal sleep experience, with in-room evening yoga complemented by a series of wellness treatments using organic products. A special food menu to help induce sleep can also be ordered.

GIVE

The Group supports a number of local sustainability initiatives, and partners with local foundations to support artists.
