Surrounded by picturesque mountains and inhaling the fresh mountain air, an Austria wellness holiday offers the ideal destination for getting away from it all. There are plenty of outdoor fitness activities to be enjoyed that take in the stunning scenery and panoramic mountain vistas, including walking, hiking, biking, and more – what more could you need for a healthy and active lifestyle!? 

The top wellness retreats in Austria are detoxes, and not just a digital detox from getting away from it all in the mountains. Austria is the home of the Mayr Cure detox method which was devised over 100 years ago by an Austrian nutritionist, FX Mayr. The saying ‘you are what you eat’, may be somewhat overused, however Mayr believes there is a lot of truth to it. It is not just about what you eat, but how you eat that is also critical. The belief of this detox method is that many ailments and chronic disorders – both physical and mental – start in the gut. Keeping a healthy gut promotes longevity and improved mental wellbeing. 

Park Igls in the Tyrolean Alps offers the original Mayr Cure – which focuses on a light diet, gentle exercise, and targeted spa treatments – with an added layer of options available such as Mayr and fitness, Mayr and an innovative post COVID-19 wellness retreat. Alongside the traditional Mayr detox, guests can also undergo diagnostics and medical spa services to do a deep dive of their health status. Armed with this knowledge, the dedicated team can then devise the most appropriate wellness program to tackle health concerns and prevent future illness.
