Lanserhof

What Lanserhof is

Lanserhof runs medical health resorts and nothing else. It is very serious about medical excellence, and every stay is built around doctors, diagnostics and a programme, not a spa menu.

So if you are looking for a healthy holiday with a glass of wine at dinner, Lanserhof is not the place. We can recommend softer alternatives.

The Lanserhof Method

The doctors know Mayr medicine in depth, and they feel free to leave it aside when it does not make sense for you. Western medicine, Mayr medicine, traditional medicines and alternative approaches are all on the table, if they make sense for your case.

GLP-1 microdosing is one example: Lanserhof uses it to accompany some guests, when the doctors think it is right. If you already take a GLP-1 drug, tell us early, so the team can plan around it.

Guests rarely complain about hunger. Some find the stay challenging, and some expected to lose more weight than they did, because health comes first here, not the scales. If weight loss is your main aim, we can discuss which programme fits.

How the three resorts compare

The core spirit is the same in all three. The atmosphere and the medical specialities differ, and that is usually what decides. To compare like for like, each price below is the Lanserhof Classic, the core programme, with a room.

• Lans, Tyrol. Lanserhof Lans is where Lanserhof started, about 15 minutes from Innsbruck airport. It is the most laid-back of the three, and the most open to energy medicine and alternative practices. Lanserhof Classic: From €4,970 for 7 nights.
• Tegernsee. Lanserhof Tegernsee is the most chic of the three, the deepest in medical focus, and the shortest transfer from an international airport, Munich. A number of our guests combine their stay with golf. Lanserhof Classic: From €8,435 for 7 nights.
• Sylt. Lanserhof Sylt has an island atmosphere, remarkable landscapes and the most beautiful design of the three. Its guests are the most international, and it is the quietest, most soothing stay for the mind. Lanserhof Classic: From €5,180 for 7 nights.

It is no surprise that Sylt is where Lanserhof runs its sleep programme, the Neuro Sleep Reset. From €9,634 for 7 nights.

Lans gets slightly more requests than the other two. With Sylt, it has the most affordable entry-level rooms, and many guests find it easier to reach than Sylt. Once you know the route, Sylt is not hard to get to either.

In practice, we send clients to all three, easy cases and complicated ones, and we have happy guests in each. A fourth resort, in Marbella, is due in 2027, and our clients already ask about it.

What guests talk about afterwards

Almost every guest mentions the friendly atmosphere. You meet like-minded people of every generation, the group activities break the ice, and the facilities are genuinely well designed for it.

Guests also praise their practitioners, and rarely the same ones. Interestingly, it is very rarely someone in a speciality they expected to like. The practitioners are good enough to make guests open up to practices they had never considered.

There is a spiritual dimension too. Lanserhof does not advertise it, but it matters to the owners. Some guests find it, some look for it and do not, and it really depends on the person.

Lanserhof or another clinic

At entry-level prices, our clients usually compare Lanserhof with VIVAMAYR. Higher up, they compare it with Chenot, although Chenot does something quite different. Grand Resort Bad Ragaz is the closer comparison, and it is rarely made.

Many repeat guests grow fond of Mayr medicine and go on to try the other Mayr clinics, Original Mayr included. Many also know Buchinger Wilhelmi well. Clients travelling from further afield, the US in particular, tend to weigh Lanserhof against SHA, Clinique La Prairie (which costs considerably more), Chiva-Som and Ananda.
