There is a uniquely serene spa in the heart of the Swiss Alps, where luxury and wellbeing come together to create an ideal atmosphere for relaxation of mind and body.
Chedi Andermatt Resort & Spa
At The Spa in The Chedi Andermatt resort, visitors will not only enjoy a broad range of treatments and services in an elegant setting, but they can also enjoy the exuberance of a natural landscape that makes it unique.
Subtle Asian touches complement the alpine chalet style to create a harmonious integration of tradition and modernity set within in a vast space that manages to be surprisingly well organized and welcoming. Covering 2,400 square meters (26,000 square feet), the building’s design pays careful attention to detail through the use of a variety of textures and noble materials such as wood and stone.

Warm and cozy despite its vastness
The resort has a fantastic 35-meter-long pool (115 feet), covered by a glass roof that allows guests to admire the majesty of the Swiss Alps in all their splendor.
The Spa also has a 12-meter (40 feet) long heated outdoor swimming pool, and a gym equipped with last generation equipment, where yoga and Pilates sessions are held. The hydrotherapy area features hot and cold baths, a steam room, bio sauna and Finnish sauna.
Asian Philosophy
The Spa at Chedi offers a broad range of treatments focused on Zen philosophy, inspired by Asian culture and traditions of physical, mental and spiritual balance. Some of the blissful services offered by the spa include therapeutic massages, Asian rituals, romantic ceremonial baths, and facials, using products from British labels such as Ila and REN. The Alpine Mountain Massage is especially noteworthy. The exclusive treatment brings relief to tight and tired muscles through massage techniques tailored to the needs of each client with products from Alpienne, a brand from Tyrol.
This year, the spa will emphasize on the enjoyment of “experiences” for visitors to the resort. For example, starting March 2016, they will introduce a package for pregnant women and their partners to relax them before the baby arrives.
