How To Choose The Right Lanserhof Programme

There is a moment, familiar to anyone who has seriously looked into the Lanserhof group, when the decision stops being about whether to go and starts being about which one. The LANS Med Concept, the medical directors, the diagnostic frameworks, the Energy Cuisine: all of it is consistent across the portfolio. What changes is everything else. The landscape, the architecture, the clinical specialisms, the atmosphere and, ultimately, the way a particular environment will support your specific goals.

Healing Holidays has been the exclusive UK partner for the Lanserhof portfolio for many years. Our advisors have visited each of the three open properties, met the medical teams and spoken at length with guests before and after their programmes. The question we are asked more than any other is not whether Lanserhof is worth it. It is which one, and which programme, and for how long.

This guide is our answer. It is designed for people who are serious about choosing well, not just picking a name off a list, and who want the kind of contextual information that makes a meaningful difference to what they experience when they arrive.

Which Lanserhof property and programme should you choose?

Choose Lanserhof Lans in Austria if you want the most concentrated, classically Mayr-centred detox in the most intimate Alpine setting, with dedicated Hormone Balance and Mental Health programmes available. Choose Lanserhof Tegernsee in Bavaria if you want the broadest programme range, the deepest diagnostic capability and the widest choice of specialist physicians: it holds the World Spa Awards Best Medical Spa title for 2025. Choose Lanserhof Sylt on Germany's North Sea island if sleep restoration, coastal immersion, cardiovascular diagnostics or the group's only Neuro Sleep Reset programme is your primary goal. For all three, the minimum meaningful stay is seven nights, with 14 nights recommended for measurable results. All three properties are bookable exclusively through Healing Holidays, with combinable free-night and added-value offers valid through 2026.

Key Takeaways

• All three Lanserhof properties apply the same underlying medical philosophy: the LANS Med Concept, built on Modern Mayr Medicine, advanced diagnostics and deeply personalised programmes. The setting and specialist profile are what differ.
• Lanserhof Lans is the founding property, reopened after a EUR 25 million transformation in 2017. It is the most intimate, the most classically Mayr in character and the only property with dedicated Hormone Balance and Mental Health programmes.
• Lanserhof Tegernsee is the most programmatically comprehensive property in the group, the largest by facility, and the winner of the World Spa Awards Best Medical Spa 2025. Unique programmes include Brain Health, Rehabilitation, Weight and Sports, Energy Balance and Global Beauty.
• Lanserhof Sylt is the only property in the portfolio with a Neuro Sleep Reset programme, the strongest team for cardiovascular diagnostics and dermatology, and a coastal climate, with iodine-rich air, tidal rhythms and North Sea light, that is considered a therapeutic environment in its own right.
• Programme lengths range from four nights for compact assessments to 21-night transformational cures. Seven nights is the clinically recommended minimum for a full programme.
• Healing Holidays holds exclusive combinable offers across all three properties, including free nights, room upgrades, VIP gifts, early check-in, late check-out and, at Sylt, complimentary limousine and Hamburg Airport transfers.
• A fourth property, Lanserhof Marbella, opens in 2027 on the grounds of Finca Cortesin with 71 rooms and a total investment of EUR 93 million.

Understanding the Lanserhof Concept Before You Choose

Before comparing the three properties in detail, it is worth establishing what they share. The decision about which Lanserhof to visit will make much more sense once you understand the medical philosophy that underpins all of them, because it is precisely that shared foundation that makes the differences between locations so meaningful.

The LANS Med Concept

The Lanserhof Concept represents the pinnacle of excellence in preventative health, regeneration and optimisation. It integrates state-of-the-art medical science with proven alternative healing approaches: an intelligent balance between personalised fasting programmes and bespoke therapeutic solutions.

In practice, every stay begins with a detailed medical consultation and diagnostic assessment. Blood results, body composition and personal medical history shape the programme, not a generic menu of treatments. Each guest works with an interdisciplinary team of specialists, physicians, nutritionists, physiotherapists, movement coaches and psychologists, whose collective goal is to identify the root causes of depleted health rather than manage surface symptoms.

What began as a single medical health retreat in the Austrian Tyrol in 1984 has become, over four decades, one of the most consistently cited names in serious medical wellness internationally. The Conde Nast Traveller Wellness and Spa Awards 2026 included Lanserhof among its recognised properties, a reflection of the group's enduring influence within international medical wellness.

Modern Mayr Medicine and Why It Matters

The therapeutic backbone of all Lanserhof programmes is Modern Mayr Medicine, a clinical evolution of the principles developed by Austrian physician Dr. Franz Xaver Mayr in the early twentieth century. His foundational insight, that many chronic health conditions originate in the digestive system, has been refined through decades of clinical practice into the contemporary approach used at all three properties.

Modern Mayr Medicine rests on four pillars: rest, meaning the reduction of digestive burden through a medically prescribed, low-calorie diet; cleansing, the purging of toxins via the kidneys, liver and intestines through targeted hydration and therapeutic compounds; training, the development of conscious eating habits, careful chewing and greater awareness of the body's signals; and rhythm, the restoration of the body's natural acid-base balance and daily cycle.

At Lanserhof, this is not a simple detox protocol. It is a medically supervised process, tailored to each guest's specific physiology, and it forms the foundation from which all other diagnostic and therapeutic work extends. Our guide to the Mayr Cure explained provides the full clinical context. Lanserhof features prominently in any serious overview of fasting clinics in Europe, the best Mayr clinics guide and retreats for gut health.

The Three Lanserhof Properties: What Makes Each One Different

The LANS Med Concept is the same at Lans, Tegernsee and Sylt. The experience is not. Each property has a distinct setting, a different medical team profile, a particular programme identity and an atmosphere that will suit certain guests far better than others. Understanding those differences before you book is not a luxury: it is the difference between a stay that genuinely serves your goals and one that almost does.

Lanserhof Lans: The Original, in the Austrian Tyrol

Lanserhof Lans in Austria is the founding property of the group. Opened in 1984 and transformed by a EUR 25 million renovation before reopening in 2017, it occupies the Tyrol region near Innsbruck, approximately 20 minutes from the airport, in a landscape of rolling Alpine meadows, deep forests and mountain silence that has been deliberately chosen as a restorative environment.

The architecture respects building-biology principles throughout. Natural wood beds, loden and linen fabrics, gypsum walls, cherrywood parquet and mains cut-off switches in every room reflect a commitment to electrosmog reduction that extends well beyond aesthetic preference. Floor-to-ceiling windows in every room category make the surrounding Alpine scenery an integral part of the daily experience.

The medical team at Lanserhof Lans

Lanserhof Lans is led by Dr. Katharina Sandtner, Medical Director, whose specialisms include Mayr medicine, neural therapy and orthomolecular medicine. The full in-house medical team spans Mayr physicians specialised in abdominal diagnostics, internists focused on prevention and metabolic medicine, gastroenterologists, cardiovascular specialists, physiotherapists and movement therapists, nutrition and fasting specialists, and stress and regeneration practitioners. Dr. Theresa Thurner supports the cardiology function, Dr. Katharina Kurz leads post-viral and infectiology medicine, and the team also encompasses naturopathy and acupuncture expertise within the clinical offer.

This multidisciplinary depth allows Lanserhof Lans to address conditions that go well beyond a standard detox stay. It is the only property in the group with dedicated Hormone Balance and Mental Health programmes, and the only location where INUSpheresis, the advanced cellular plasma detox therapy, is currently available. For those interested in the mechanics of that specific treatment, our guide to apheresis and INUSpheresis cellular detox explains the full clinical process.

Treatments and diagnostics at Lanserhof Lans

The diagnostic range at Lans is extensive. Guests may undergo blood and biomarker analysis, digestive and metabolic assessments, cardiovascular screening, body composition analysis via bioimpedance, food intolerance testing, heart rate variability measurement for stress evaluation, laboratory screening, gastrointestinal diagnostics, nutritional and metabolic analysis, sonography and spiroergometry. Mental screening and neurobiological analysis are also available within selected programmes.

Treatment modalities span the full breadth of Modern Mayr Medicine and extend into specialist therapies. Manual abdominal treatment, performed by appropriately trained practitioners as part of the digestive-health strategy, is a cornerstone of the Mayr cure at Lans. Whole-body cryotherapy is available via the cold chamber, with applications for recovery, inflammation reduction and physical regeneration. CellGym simulated altitude training, which exposes the body to controlled variations in oxygen availability to optimise cellular energy production, features within the Longevity programme. Further treatments include colon hydrotherapy, osteopathy, acupuncture, HydraFacial, hypnosis, infusions, lymphatic drainage massage, alkaline and salt baths, craniosacral therapy, heavy metal analysis, dermatological examination and hormonal saliva testing, among many others.

The spa itself includes an indoor-outdoor saltwater pool, a steam and sauna complex, and a full-service fitness centre. The surrounding area offers Nordic walking, hiking, mountain biking and access to three nearby golf courses.

For a full expert breakdown, see our Lanserhof Lans guide and expert FAQ and our dedicated Lanserhof Lans Austria medical spa guide.

Best for: Classical Mayr detox, Hormone Balance, Mental Health programmes, INUSpheresis, intimate Alpine atmosphere, returning guests from Tegernsee.

Entry price: From GBP 3,189 per person sharing for a 4-night programme, including transfers, accommodation, full board and programme.

Lanserhof Tegernsee: The Most Comprehensive, in the Bavarian Alps

Lanserhof Tegernsee in Germany sits on the shores of a glacial Alpine lake above the Tegernsee valley in Bavaria, approximately 60 minutes from Munich Airport. It is the most programmatically comprehensive property in the group, the most extensively equipped and the winner of the World Spa Awards Best Medical Spa 2025, a title that reflects both its clinical depth and its scale.

The facility spans 21,000 m2 and offers 14 distinct programmes. Its architecture is modern and precise: generous rooms and suites ranging from 55 m2 to 100 m2, several with open fireplaces, private saunas and panoramic views over the Tegernsee valley or the surrounding forests. A standalone Pavilion Suite, adjacent to the main resort with its own driveway, private chef, personal gym, steam and sauna, and private treatment rooms, is available for guests requiring complete discretion or a fully self-contained programme environment.

The medical team at Lanserhof Tegernsee

Medical direction at Tegernsee is held by Dr. Elke Benedetto-Reisch, a specialist in preventive and integrative medicine. The depth of the clinical team here exceeds that of the other properties in breadth of specialisations. Dr. Korbinian Gauss covers naturopathy and acupuncture. Dr. Mathias Greiner leads rehabilitative medicine. Werner Schierl brings surgical capability, unique in the Lanserhof portfolio. The team also includes oncological rehabilitation support and practitioners specialised in Long COVID and post-viral recovery, making Tegernsee the only property in the group with a formal Long COVID programme. This range of specialisms, encompassing preventive medicine, integrative medicine, rehabilitation, surgery, oncological support, naturopathy and post-viral care, makes Tegernsee the recommended starting point for guests whose health presentations are complex or multi-system.

Treatments and diagnostics at Lanserhof Tegernsee

The diagnostic capabilities at Tegernsee are the most extensive in the portfolio. In addition to the standard Lanserhof diagnostic toolkit, blood and biomarker panels, cardiovascular screening, body composition analysis, metabolic assessments and gastrointestinal diagnostics, Tegernsee offers capsule endoscopy, whereby a swallowable pill camera records the intestinal tract in real time, and comprehensive gene and DNA testing with detailed expert analysis. The Cell Gym is available for mitochondrial and oxygen optimisation. Microbiome testing and full biomarker longevity panels are incorporated into selected Longevity and Brain Health programmes. Spiroergometry, lactate diagnostics and sensorimotor assessments form part of the Weight and Sports programme.

Therapeutic treatments span manual abdominal work, colon hydrotherapy, lymphatic drainage massage, shiatsu, craniosacral therapy, reflexology, mesotherapy, liver cleansing, alkaline baths, detox facials, hot stone massage, acupuncture, physiotherapy, sports-science personal training and Nuad Thai. The spa features an outdoor pool, sauna, an exercise and yoga area, and a sheltered atrium. The surrounding Tegernsee valley provides skiing in winter and hiking and walking trails in summer, and both are integrated as movement therapies within the programme structure.

The cuisine at Tegernsee reflects the Lanserhof Energy Cuisine concept, combining modern nutritional science with seasonal, organic and locally sourced ingredients. Meal plans are prescribed by the attending physician and calibrated to the programme stage, with the emphasis on digestive rest and metabolic recovery rather than conventional restaurant dining.

Read the full detail in our Lanserhof Tegernsee complete guide and FAQs and the Lanserhof Tegernsee Bavaria medical spa guide. Tegernsee also features in our top German spas selection.

Best for: The broadest diagnostic capability, widest programme range, most extensive specialist team, INUSpheresis, Long COVID, rehabilitation, oncological support, first-time Lanserhof guests.

Entry price: From GBP 4,399 per person sharing for a 7-night programme, including transfers, accommodation, full board and programme.

Lanserhof Sylt: The Coastal Medical Retreat on the North Sea

Lanserhof Sylt sits on one of the highest points of the island of Sylt, above the harbour of List, at the edge of a UNESCO-protected Wadden Sea landscape on Germany's North Sea coast. Known as the Hamptons of Germany, Sylt is celebrated for its healing climate and restorative sea air: qualities the Lanserhof team treat not as incidental backdrop, but as an active component of the therapeutic environment.

The building was designed by internationally renowned architect Christoph Ingenhoven using exclusively ecological and health-friendly materials. Its thatched rooflines, floor-to-ceiling glass, parquet flooring and Nordic palette create a setting that is simultaneously contemporary and deeply connected to its coastal surroundings. The facility spans 20,000 m2, with 5,000 m2 dedicated entirely to medical facilities and treatment, across 55 rooms and suites ranging from 29 m2 to 74 m2.

The medical team at Lanserhof Sylt

Medical leadership at Sylt sits with Dr. Jan Stritzke, Medical Director, a specialist in internal medicine and cardiology. This seniority in cardiovascular medicine makes Sylt the strongest property in the portfolio for cardiac diagnostics, with cardiovascular screening available at Medical Director level. The team also includes two specialist dermatologists, unique in the Lanserhof group, an occupational medicine physician, Dr. Stefanie Helmbrecht, and rehabilitative medicine support at deputy medical director level. This specialist configuration reflects the specific health presentations that Sylt is designed to address: stress-related cardiovascular strain, sleep disorders with neurological components, metabolic imbalance and skin health alongside the foundational Mayr-based detox offer.

Sylt is the only property in the Lanserhof group with a Neuro Sleep Reset programme, using neurofeedback and targeted theta-wave training to address sleep disorders at a neurological level, not simply as a symptom of stress or fatigue. No other property in the portfolio currently offers this intervention.

Treatments and diagnostics at Lanserhof Sylt

The diagnostic range at Sylt mirrors the strengths of its medical team. Cardiovascular assessments are available at an unusually deep level, with the Medical Director personally involved. Dermatological examination and skin diagnostics are conducted by two specialists. The standard Lanserhof diagnostic framework, including blood and biomarker panels, body composition analysis, metabolic assessments, heart rate variability measurement and gastrointestinal diagnostics, is available across all programmes. Neurofeedback diagnostics and sleep architecture analysis are incorporated into the Neuro Sleep programmes.

Therapeutic treatments include colon hydrotherapy, mesotherapy, cryotherapy, lymphatic drainage massage, infusions, medical checks, reflexology, hot stone massage, shiatsu, craniosacral therapy, acupuncture, liver cleansing, North Sea mud packs, detox facials, detoxifying connective tissue massage and Nuad Thai. The North Sea climate itself, with its iodine-rich air, contributes to respiratory and immune health in a way that is documented within thalassotherapy traditions and integrated here within the broader programme.

The spa facilities at Sylt include both indoor and outdoor saltwater pools, saunas, steam baths and a state-of-the-art fitness centre. Activities include cookery classes, yoga, walking, cycling, Pilates, Qi Gong, meditation and lectures and presentations from the clinical and nutritional team.

The iodine-rich sea air, tidal rhythms and quality of North Sea light are treated as part of the therapeutic environment, not a scenic backdrop.

For expert reading, see our Lanserhof Sylt complete guide and FAQs, our Lanserhof Sylt North Sea medical spa guide and our Lanserhof resorts compared article.

Best for: Sleep disorders and Neuro Sleep Reset, cardiovascular diagnostics, dermatology, stress and burnout recovery, coastal climate therapy, enforced island stillness.

Entry price: From GBP 2,999 per person sharing for a 4-night programme, including transfers, accommodation, full board and programme.

Comparative Table: Lanserhof Lans, Tegernsee and Sylt at a Glance

The table below summarises the key differentiating factors across the three open properties. It is designed to inform your initial shortlisting, not to replace personalised advice from a Healing Holidays specialist.

Choosing the Right Programme for Your Health Goals

Understanding the properties is only one part of the decision. The other is matching your specific health objectives to the right programme. The section below maps each major goal category to the most relevant programme options and property, followed by a comparative table of all major programmes across the three locations.

Gut Health, Detox and Digestive Reset

This is where Lanserhof's reputation was built and where all three properties perform at the highest level. The Cure Classic and Cure Classic Plus are available at Lans, Tegernsee and Sylt, delivered through the LANS Med Concept and Modern Mayr Medicine principles. Therapeutic nutrition, digestive rest, manual abdominal treatments, Kneipp therapies and personalised medical supervision form the consistent foundation.

For the most classically concentrated gut-health detox, Lanserhof Lans is often the first recommendation. Tegernsee offers the same clinical rigour with greater programme flexibility and broader diagnostic capability. Sylt provides the Cure Classic in a coastal environment, with the additional therapeutic dimension of the North Sea climate.

For guests who want to understand the full range of European options, our guides to the best retreats for gut health and fasting clinics in Europe provide useful comparative context.

Longevity and Preventive Medicine

All three properties offer dedicated Longevity programmes, using advanced diagnostics, cellular therapies, infusion protocols and highly targeted prevention strategies. Tegernsee's Longevity programme is the most extensive, incorporating Brain Health, gene and DNA testing, capsule endoscopy and the broadest biomarker panel. For guests focused specifically on cellular detoxification at the plasma level, INUSpheresis is available at Lanserhof Lans and Lanserhof Tegernsee.

Sleep Disorders and Neurological Restoration

This is where Lanserhof Sylt is uniquely positioned. The Neuro Sleep Reset programme, available for seven, ten, 14 or 21 nights, uses neurofeedback and theta-wave training to address sleep disorders at a neurological level. No other property in the group currently offers this intervention. The four-night Neuro Sleep Compact provides an introductory version for guests with limited time. The island environment, with its enforced quiet, absence of urban noise and quality of coastal light, supports this work in a way that is difficult to replicate elsewhere.

Stress, Burnout and Mental Health

For stress recovery and burnout with a pronounced psychological component, Lanserhof Lans carries the only dedicated Mental Health programme in the group. The Stress Resilience programme at Sylt, available from seven to 21 nights, is among the most clinically structured burnout recovery offerings in the portfolio. Tegernsee can accommodate complex presentations including Long COVID-related cognitive fatigue and post-viral exhaustion through its formal Long COVID programme.

Lanserhof properties also feature in our curated guide to retreats for solo travellers in Europe and among recommended options for trauma and PTSD healing retreats where medically guided emotional processing is part of the programme scope.

Weight Management and Metabolic Health

Dedicated weight management programmes are available at Tegernsee (Weight and Sports) and across all three properties through the Semaglutide Management programme, which provides medically supervised support for guests using GLP-1 medication. Tegernsee's Weight and Sports programme integrates sports science diagnostics, lactate testing, spiroergometry and physiotherapy within the weight management framework. All three properties also provide the Cure Classic Plus, which at 14 or 21 nights delivers the sustained clinical monitoring most effective for meaningful metabolic results.

Beauty, Aesthetics and Skin Health

The Beauty Boost programme is available at all three properties, combining highly effective non-invasive cosmetic treatments with restorative moments designed to revitalise skin and appearance. Tegernsee's Global Beauty programme extends this into aesthetic medicine. Sylt's dermatology team, unique in the portfolio, makes it the recommended choice for guests with specific skin health concerns requiring specialist assessment.

Comparative Table: Programmes by Health Objective

The table below maps the major Lanserhof programmes to health objectives across the three properties. It covers the core shared programmes and the property-specific offerings that define each location's clinical identity.

How Long Should You Stay at Lanserhof?

Programme length has a direct and documented relationship with outcomes at Lanserhof. The medical team's ability to monitor, adjust and progressively deepen the therapeutic work is meaningfully greater over 14 or 21 nights than over seven, and the body's capacity to genuinely regenerate, rather than simply begin the process, requires time that shorter stays cannot fully provide.

As a practical framework:

• 4 nights. Compact programmes, diagnostic assessments and targeted health checks. Beauty Boost, Longevity Check, Neuro Sleep Compact, Sport and Meditation, Essential Health Check-Up and Me Time all fall in this category. Best for first-time visitors wanting an introduction to the Lanserhof environment, or guests returning for a focused intervention.
• 7 nights. The clinically recommended minimum for a full programme. Suitable for a first-visit detox, a specific health concern or a structured reset. The free-night offers available through Healing Holidays make this the most cost-effective entry point.
• 14 nights. The most frequently chosen length among experienced guests. Allows the medical team to observe progress, refine the programme and deliver measurable results across gut health, weight, metabolic markers and general wellbeing.
• 21 nights. Recommended for deep transformation, significant weight loss, rehabilitation from chronic conditions, or comprehensive longevity work. The free-night offer structures this as the highest-value option in proportion to cost.

Why Book Lanserhof with Healing Holidays

Healing Holidays is the exclusive UK partner for all three open Lanserhof properties: Lans, Tegernsee and Sylt. This exclusivity is not simply a commercial arrangement. It means our advisors have visited each property, sat with the medical teams, reviewed the programmes in depth and spoken with guests throughout and after their stays. The guidance we provide is based on direct knowledge of the properties, not brochure descriptions.

When you book through Healing Holidays, you receive a level of pre-arrival support that is not available through direct booking. Our advisors will review your health goals, discuss your medical history where relevant, help you match your objectives to the right property and programme, and advise on the optimal length of stay. Where appropriate, we can facilitate pre-arrival medical liaison so that your programme begins as soon as you arrive rather than spending the first day in preliminary assessments.

Healing Holidays was named UK’s Best Wellness Travel Specialist by Conde Nast Traveller in 2026. This recognition reflects both the depth of our expertise and the rigour of our property selection: we represent only the properties our team has evaluated and believes in.

Alongside the practical advisory support, booking through Healing Holidays gives you access to exclusive offers across all three Lanserhof properties that are not available through any other channel. All three offer sets are combinable, meaning you can benefit from free nights, an upgrade, early check-in, late check-out and a VIP gift within a single booking. At Sylt, complimentary transfers are also available for qualifying stays.

Our advisors are also candid about what to expect. The Lanserhof therapeutic diet and structured daily routine represent a genuine adjustment, particularly in the first two or three days. Guests who are mentally prepared for the so-called detox crisis, the headaches and fatigue that accompany the early stages of digestive rest, manage the transition far more effectively and gain substantially more from the programme as a result. We explain this before you travel, so there are no surprises on arrival.

To speak with a Healing Holidays specialist, call 020 7843 3597, message via WhatsApp or email info@healingholidays.com. Our advice is personalised, independent and entirely free of charge.

Frequently Asked Questions About Choosing a Lanserhof Programme

Is Lanserhof a luxury spa or a medical clinic?

Lanserhof is first and foremost a medically supervised health retreat. While the hospitality, accommodation and cuisine are of a five-star standard, the defining purpose of any stay is medical: comprehensive diagnostics, personalised treatment plans, therapeutic nutrition and ongoing clinical supervision by a multidisciplinary team. Guests who arrive expecting a conventional spa experience will find Lanserhof a meaningfully different proposition. It is the right choice for people who want to take a genuinely proactive approach to their health, not simply a comfortable break.

What is the difference between the Cure Classic and the Cure Classic Plus?

The Cure Classic is the foundational Lanserhof programme, built around the LANS Med Concept and Modern Mayr Medicine. It includes comprehensive medical examinations, daily Kneipp therapies, therapeutic massages, manual abdominal treatments and a medically prescribed diet. The Cure Classic Plus adds enhanced diagnostic depth and a more intensive therapeutic programme, making it the recommended choice for guests with more complex health presentations, those seeking deeper metabolic results, or returning guests wanting to build on a previous stay. Both are available at seven, ten, 14 or 21 nights at all three properties.

Can I choose my own programme, or does the medical team decide?

Guests arrive with their health goals and medical history. The attending physician conducts a detailed consultation and initial diagnostics, including blood analysis and body composition assessment, and builds the programme around what they find. Guest preferences are taken into account, but the clinical team holds final authority on what is medically appropriate. This is precisely what makes Lanserhof programmes effective rather than simply comfortable. Healing Holidays advisors can help you select the programme most aligned with your goals before you travel.

Which Lanserhof property is best for a first-time visitor?

For a first visit, Lanserhof Tegernsee is most frequently recommended. It offers the broadest programme range, the most extensive diagnostic capability and the greatest flexibility on stay lengths, meaning it can accommodate a wide variety of goals. Guests whose primary goal is a classical gut-health detox in a quieter, more intimate setting may find Lanserhof Lans a better fit. Healing Holidays advisors will always recommend the option most suited to the individual rather than defaulting to the most prominent property.

What does the daily routine look like at Lanserhof?

Days at Lanserhof are structured around the medical programme. Mornings begin early with Kneipp cold-water treatments, guided movement sessions such as walking, yoga or Pilates, and medical appointments. Meals are prescribed by the attending physician and served at set times, with the quantity and type of food evolving as the programme progresses. Afternoons are occupied by therapeutic treatments: manual abdominal work, massages, infusions, physiotherapy or specialist diagnostics depending on the programme. Evenings are quiet by design. The rhythm is intentional. Guests who allow themselves to follow it consistently report that the structure itself becomes one of the most therapeutically significant aspects of the stay.

Is Lanserhof suitable for guests travelling alone?

All three properties are well suited to solo travellers. The structured daily programme, shared group activities such as morning walks and yoga sessions, and the communal atmosphere at mealtimes create a natural social context. At Tegernsee, guests travelling alone are encouraged to join the single table at mealtimes, which provides both companionship and what many describe as a significant source of support during the detox process. For broader guidance on solo wellness travel in Europe, our retreats for solo travellers in Europe provides a comprehensive overview.

What is INUSpheresis and where is it available?

INUSpheresis is an advanced form of apheresis, a blood purification therapy that filters plasma-bound proteins, inflammatory markers and environmental toxins from the bloodstream at a cellular level. It is one of the most intensive cellular detox treatments available in a clinical setting and is currently offered at Lanserhof Lans and Lanserhof Tegernsee. For guests with specific inflammatory conditions, high toxic load or chronic immune challenges, it can be a decisive factor in choosing Lans over the other properties. Our guide to apheresis and INUSpheresis cellular detox explains the full clinical process in detail.

How should I decide between Lanserhof Lans and Lanserhof Tegernsee?

Both properties share the same medical philosophy and the same exceptional standard of care. Tegernsee, on its Bavarian lake, offers a larger facility, a broader programme range, more specialist physicians across a wider set of disciplines and a more contemporary environment. Lans, in the Austrian Tyrol, carries a deeper classical Mayr tradition, a more intimate and concentrated atmosphere, the only Hormone Balance and Mental Health programmes in the group, and access to INUSpheresis. Many guests visit one and then, on a return stay, choose the other. For first-time visitors, Tegernsee is most commonly recommended. For guests already familiar with the Lanserhof experience, or those whose goals are specifically aligned with Lans's unique clinical offer, the founding property is often the more resonant choice. The full comparison is available in our Lanserhof resorts compared guide.
