What awaits you at our wellness hotel in Locarno?

Did you know that the word wellness is a blend of the two English words 'well-being' and 'fitness'? Wellness therefore puts well-being and physical health centre stage. The range of wellness treatments and activities is vast.

What wellness means to each individual can therefore vary considerably. We've put together a few ideas for what the perfect wellness evening might look like – moments of comfort and happiness included. For us, wellness rests on three pillars:

• regular exercise
• a healthy diet
• relaxation

Each pillar plays its part in helping you feel good in your own body.

Getting active in the mountains around Locarno

Activities on foot or by bike are twice as much fun in beautiful surroundings. If you'd like to experience an enchanting and varied landscape, Ticino is just the place for you. Hundreds of kilometres of natural-surface mountain bike trails are waiting to be explored here.

Hikers particularly love the unique mountain landscape, with peaks such as Monte Gambarogno and Rosso di Ribia. Spectacular views, some from over 2,000 metres, reward summiteers after a strenuous climb. Here in Ticino, hikers will find challenging summit tours as well as family-friendly walking trails and easy hikes.

On a trip into the mountains, physical exercise gives you a sense of achievement. Afterwards, hikers and cyclists have earned a relaxing break in a mountain hut or on an alpine pasture. And this brings us back to the pillars of wellness we mentioned earlier – because in the mountains, exercise, healthy eating and relaxation go perfectly together.

Time in the mountains is pure wellness. In the mountains, we become one with nature, and the view from the summit gives us a fresh perspective. That's why it's so easy to relax in the mountains and forget all our everyday worries for a moment. Why not try it for yourself?

Does wellness mean being active in nature for you? Then we have a special tip for an active wellness evening: discover Ticino's mountains with the Locarno-Madonna del Sasso funicular.

In the summer months, the ride up is especially worthwhile in the evening, as you can round off the day in the mountains with a view of the lake. As the sun sinks behind the mountains, the moment feels almost magical. If you plan to come back down after dark, it's best to check the funicular's operating hours in advance.

A wellness hotel in Locarno right on the water

We also like to associate wellness with activities in the water. And where better to enjoy water sports than on a lake? That's why it's perfect that Lake Maggiore lies right on our hotel's doorstep. Swimming, boating, relaxing on the shore, lakeside walks – the list of activities is long.

A stroll along the shore is particularly rewarding in the evening, when countless lights illuminate the lake. The promenades are especially busy in the evening, but there are also well-lit stretches of lakeshore where only a few people are out and about. Here, you can spend a quiet evening away from the hustle and bustle.

What culinary delights do we serve at our wellness hotel in Locarno?

As the saying goes: 'Eating and drinking hold body and soul together.' We all need a little chocolate for comfort every now and then. Or we love raising a glass in good company. A delicious, freshly prepared meal in a special setting is wellness for our sense of taste.

Here at La Palma au Lac, you can look forward to cuisine that works with Ticino producers and follows the seasons. Our kitchen team prepares every dish for you fresh and with loving care. Above all, the dishes are one thing: delicious.

But our food isn't just about offering a taste experience. We also want to help you give your body important nutrients and vitamins – so that you're perfectly equipped to explore and discover Ticino.

It isn't just the food that makes an evening in our restaurant a wellness experience. Dine on our terrace above the lake and enjoy a particularly impressive view of Lake Maggiore. On cooler evenings, we'll be delighted to pamper you inside the restaurant.

Relaxation and rest at our wellness hotel in Locarno

An evening at the spa is the ultimate wellness dream. Our hotel's spa area features saunas and a whirlpool, plus a terrace overlooking the lake. For massages, there's Palm Leaf SPA by Gold Elephant: traditional Thai massage is synonymous with harmony, relaxation and well-being.

The traditional Thai massages by Palm Leaf SPA by Gold Elephant help to release tension and restore your energy. The spa team or our reception will be happy to tell you about the current range of treatments.

The perfect end to a wellness evening at our wellness hotel in Locarno

Look forward to spacious rooms. High-quality furnishings with every comfort go without saying. Some rooms have a balcony, where you can enjoy the view of Lake Maggiore over a glass of wine.
