A Curated Wellness Retreat Where Movement, Nourishment and Rest Come Together in Alpbach's Austrian Alps.
In a world that rarely slows down, finding genuine space to pause, breathe and reset can feel impossible. That's precisely what makes Hotel Böglerhof's new Finding Space programme so compelling. This carefully curated four-night wellness retreat in Austria is designed to give you exactly what its name promises: space - to move, to rest, to nourish, and to simply be.
Launched in collaboration with leading spa and wellness expert Suzanne Duckett, author of Bathe - The Art of Finding Rest, Relaxation and Rejuvenation in a Busy World (Lagom/Bonnier Books), this seasonal Alpine wellbeing programme runs from Tuesdays to Saturdays in Austria's beautiful Alpbach village. Available during Autumn/Winter (for reflection) and Spring/Summer (for rejuvenation), it's more than just a luxury spa retreat in Austria - it's a thoughtfully paced journey back to yourself.
A Programme Rooted in Place
What sets Finding Space at Böglerhof apart is how deeply it's connected to its Alpine setting. Duckett explains her approach: "I always like to create programmes that are rooted in a spa's geographic location and celebrate provenance. At this wonderful, calming hotel we've brought together healing natural attributes that include weaving water, heat, fresh mountain air, movement, hands-on therapies and quality food together as a joyful, effective experience to soothe an over stimulated mind, body and soul."
From the moment you arrive on Tuesday afternoon, the programme unfolds with a seamless rhythm that allows you to simply surrender to the experience. No planning, no stress - just a carefully designed schedule that guides you through four transformative days.
Movement That Restores
The wellness programme centres on daily yoga and meditation practices led by experienced instructor Juliana. Each morning begins with "Good Morning Yoga"- a conscious start to the day designed to bring new energy and an open heart. Sessions range from grounding Hatha yoga to a unique barefoot yoga experience on your final morning, each one carefully paced to match your body's natural rhythms throughout your stay at this luxury wellness hotel in Austria.
Beyond the yoga studio, you'll venture into nature itself. The forest bathing and breakfast picnic experience on Thursday morning is a highlight - combining guided meditation in the woods with a nourishing outdoor meal, it's a perfect example of how the programme weaves together different elements of wellbeing.
The Art of Sauna: Traditional Tyrolean Wellness
For many British guests, sauna culture can feel intimidating. Recognising this, Böglerhof has created a playful yet practical 'How to Sauna' guide, complete with a modesty-friendly Sauna Kilt. These thoughtful touches demystify traditional Tyrolean sauna rituals, making the spa experience accessible and comfortable for everyone.
Throughout your stay, you'll enjoy multiple sauna infusions led by expert Sauna Masters Andreas and Gabor. From the traditional Tyrolean infusion to creative experiences like the Wenik (Birch) ritual, Amore Tricolore infusion, and even a Mojito exfoliation in the steam bath, each session offers something different. With up to two opportunities daily, you can choose the experiences that appeal most to you.
Between heat experiences, the cold plunge, natural reed swimming pond and panoramic outdoor pool provide invigorating contrast - all while you're surrounded by mountain views.
Treatments That Release and Restore
The programme includes two deeply restorative spa treatments. The 80-minute Holistic Pulsing and Cranio-Sacral Therapy works gently with your central nervous system to release both physical and emotional tension. Then there's the 110-minute Full Body, Face and Head Massage with optional Ear Candling - a profoundly grounding sensory experience that leaves you feeling lighter and more balanced.
A dedicated spa therapist ensures seamless scheduling throughout your stay, so you never have to think about logistics. Everything is taken care of.
Nourishing Without Restriction
Mealtimes follow a 16/8 intermittent fasting rhythm—a nourishing late breakfast at 10:00am and dinner at 6:30pm. This gives your digestive system time to rest, repair and restore overnight, while still ensuring you feel completely satisfied.
The dedicated Finding Space menu showcases seasonal, regional produce in high-protein dishes that are both nutritionally rich and indulgently delicious. Think native Alpine char fillet pan-seared in brown butter, millet patties with fresh herbs and curd, black lentils with fermented Chinese cabbage, and small curd dumplings with plum ragout and buttermilk-oat milk ice cream. You're nourished, never deprived.
High-protein snacks and wellness buffet options remain available throughout the day for those who need them, along with complimentary non-alcoholic drinks, coffees and herbal teas at mealtimes.
A Complete Sanctuary
Each evening, you'll retreat to Böglerhof's spacious nature suites, designed with soothing neutral interiors, stand-alone bathtubs, and private balconies overlooking the Alps. Your exclusive amenity kit includes homemade protein bars, spa product samples, and that all-important 10% discount card for additional treatments.
The seamless schedule means you arrive Tuesday afternoon, check in with your in-room amenity kit and menu briefing, and immediately begin with afternoon yoga followed by your choice of sauna experiences. By Saturday morning's farewell barefoot yoga session and departure for Innsbruck Airport, you'll have experienced a complete wellbeing reset.
Why It Works
What makes Finding Space at Böglerhof so effective is how it removes all decision-making and planning from your experience. You don't need to figure out what to do next or when to book treatments. Everything flows naturally from one experience to another, creating space for something increasingly rare: genuine rest.
It's wellness without overwhelm, luxury without pretension, and structure without rigidity. Seasonal adjustments ensure each activity resonates with your body's natural rhythms - grounding in autumn and winter, uplifting in spring and summer.
