On the shores of Lake Lucerne, facing Mount Rigi and Mount Pilatus, Chenot Palace Weggis is the flagship of a medical wellness method built on over fifty years of scientific research: the Chenot Method combines Chenot Lifestyle Biomarkers screening, bio-energetic diagnostics, epigenetic profiling, whole-body cryotherapy at -110°C, an altitude chamber, antigravity technologies and a world-class metabolic laboratory with six resident clinical departments spanning medicine, hydrotherapy, human performance, aesthetic medicine, medical aesthetics and sports science, all held together by the detoxifying Chenot Diet and the sustained attention of more than one hundred medical wellness experts. Five consecutive years as World’s Best Detox Programme confirm what guests already know: this is not a retreat that rests on its reputation.

The most scientifically rigorous detox and longevity retreat in Switzerland, where over fifty years of the Chenot Method meet a 5,000 m² medical spa on the shores of Lake Lucerne.
Henri Chenot began developing his approach to health and longevity in 1974, and what now operates from this historic lakeside Palace in Weggis is the fullest expression of that half century of work. The Chenot Method is not a wellness programme in the conventional sense. It is a medically structured protocol that begins with the Chenot Lifestyle Biomarkers screening, a proprietary diagnostic system that measures how a guest’s lifestyle choices are impacting their biological ageing process at the cellular level, and builds from there into a fully personalised programme. The 5,000 m² medical spa houses six clinical departments: Medical, Aesthetic, Human Performance, Hydrotherapy, Medical Aesthetic and Sports and Fitness. The facility includes a whole-body cryochamber at -110°C, an altitude chamber for hypoxic training, antigravity technologies, a world-class metabolic and sports laboratory, and epigenetic profiling that reveals how gene expression is being shaped by current lifestyle. The Chenot Diet, developed by creative chefs working in close partnership with nutritional scientists, is a reduced-calorie plant-based programme served in the lakeside dining room and designed to work in precise physiological synergy with the medical treatments underway. Over one hundred medical wellness experts are resident. Every programme runs a minimum of one week. The Advanced Detox programme has been awarded World’s Best Detox Programme for five consecutive years.
Advanced Detox (from CHF 5,500). Recover & Energise (from CHF 6,400). Prevention & Ageing Well (from CHF 7,100). Sleep Cycles (from CHF 7,960). Body Insights & Optimisation (from CHF 6,100). All programmes include the Chenot Lifestyle Biomarkers screening and are fully personalised from diagnostic results. Minimum one week stay.
The turn-of-the-century Palace building and its contemporary extension together offer 97 rooms and suites, all with views of Lake Lucerne and Mount Rigi, designed to support recovery through sleep and sensory calm. The private lake front beach is accessible year-round. The Body Insights & Optimisation programme, the newest addition, offers state-of-the-art medical diagnostics and functional testing as a standalone screening and optimisation stay, without requiring a full detox programme. The Sleep Cycles programme, built on the Recover & Energise framework and calibrated to each guest's chronotype, represents one of the most clinically sophisticated sleep medicine offers available at any wellness property in Europe.
For those who are ready to treat their health with the same seriousness they bring to every other significant decision in their lives, Chenot Palace Weggis is one of the very few places in the world equipped to meet that intention.
