Giardino Hotels – Longevity In The Mountains
Longevity is a term that you come across almost everywhere now. And when a hotel is involved, longevity meets lifestyle. Hotels are places of encounter. You meet other guests, other cultures – and sometimes also pioneering approaches. For example, those that can make it possible to live as long and healthy a life as possible. C&C author Nina Zeller gives an insight into the Luxury Longevity program at Giardino Hotels in Switzerland.
Longevity means living a healthy life for as long as possible. This is the approach taken by longevity research. It is primarily about lifestyle; what we eat, how often we exercise, how stressed we feel and how well we sleep. This individual part, together with modern medical methods, can extend our personal health span. So what counts is not getting as old as possible, but staying healthy for as long as possible.
What is the best way to support your own vitality? You can learn this at special retreats such as the Luxury Longevity program at the family-run Giardino Hotels. Two of the three Swiss hotels regularly welcome experts from the fields of biohacking, epigenetics, anti-ageing and metabolic medicine and invite guests to learn all about their health.

Further south, in the luxurious Giardino Ascona Giardino Ascona , not far from the picturesque Lake Maggiore, you are surrounded by Italian flair and a mild Mediterranean climate.
Both hotels also have a dipiù spa. A successful area where you can be pampered with massages and facials or enjoy holistic Ayurveda treatments. Pools and saunas complete the wellness offer and provide an extra dose of deep relaxation – true to the Italian name “dipiù”, which means “more”.
Movement, breathing, well-being
Daily yoga classes are also an integral part of the Giardino Longevity programs. Diana Nicoli. from Switzerland is an expert in this field. She has been practicing asanas for over 20 years and not only holds yoga and meditation classes as part of the multi-day retreats, but also lectures on breathing techniques. “Relaxing in everyday life is extremely important for our mental and physical health.… weiterlesen
