Cosy and calming in a way only a classic Alpine abode knows how, The Capra has the kind of welcoming atmosphere you want when it comes to a well-being break. Encompassing a range of focus areas, the hotel’s on-site Peak Health Retreat programmes emphasise five ‘pillars of vitality’ and help guests with everything from nutritional balance to a good night’s rest. They also host Partner Retreats that highlight slightly more nuanced topics, from yoga and aromatherapy to creative writing and mindful movement.
With flower-blanketed hiking trails in summer and snow-sure terrain in winter, the mountains of the wider Saas-Fee Resort are put to good use on these retreats too, but what’s on the doorstep shouldn’t be neglected. Nestled below the tallest peaksin Switzerland in an area known as the ‘Pearl of the Alps’, during downtime, there’s freedom to roam the car-free village and bask in the historic village centre and its feeling of high-altitude aloneness.
Something special Whether in the summer sun or winter frost, The Capra’s Personalised Peak Health Retreats allow guests to zero in on an area of their life they’d like to improve and how to get there. From providing guidance to help break bad habits and strengthening mental resistance to resetting sleep cycles, each programme combines holistic practices and experiences in the beautiful Swiss landscape, featuring curated menus and expert direction in order for guests to leave changed for the better.
We recommend Sought after for its out-of-the-way location, to reach The Capra, it’s best to travel in style in a first-class coach on the train from Geneva to Visp. Taking about two and a half hours in total, the journey passes through some breathtaking Alpine landscapes, so it’s a pleasure to just sit back and watch them unfold before the window. From Visp, a private car will then whisk you up into the Saas Valley.
Extraordinary experiences
Our hand-picked well-being activities to make the most of your stay at The Capra...
Embrace the well-being benefits of creative writing As part of the hotel’s group retreat programme, absolutely no experience is needed on this five-day long journey of self-discovery. Guided by expressive arts therapist Elitsa Velikova, mornings consist of a three-hour writing workshop in the mountain-facing library. Afternoons then feature either more time to continuing writing or finding inspiration on guided walks and spa treatments, while evenings are reserved for group readings and reflection to allow growth in both skillset and confidence.
Revel in the exclusivity of The Capra’s Private Spa Fulfilling the dream of many a spa lover, this perfectly private space can be reserved just for one. With a Finnish sauna, steam bath and hydrotherapy pool, it’s easy to occupy time in here, but to sweeten the deal there is the option to enhance the experience. Think spa treatments like body polishes and facials chosen from the main spa menu, and little treats like fruit and smoothies to savour between dips in the pools.
Tickle taste buds with wholesome local cuisine Balancing the traditional indulgence of Swiss favourites with fresh and nourishing farm-to-table ingredients, the fare at The Capra is both fulfilling and heart-warming. On a Peak Health Retreat focused on nutrition, seasonal full-board menus focus on balancing blood sugar without any restrictive dieting. Allowing guests to stay energised and make the most of the active outdoor pursuits on offer and teaching them a nutrition trick or two to take home.
