Forsthofgut Nature Hotel (Leogang, Austria) recently debuted WaldSPA Health, a new health-promoting area within its 61,000-square-foot WaldSPA (forest spa). Designed to serve as a dedicated space for longevity-focused offerings, this addition marks a new chapter for Forsthofgut, bringing a deeper focus to long-term vitality and preventive care. Created in collaboration with a team of physicians, and wellness experts, the WaldSPA Health features advanced diagnostics, therapeutic movement, tailored nutrition, and mental clarity practices.
“We are excited to launch our WaldSPA Health concept as our guests continue to seek places that allow for inner balance, recovery, and mindful living far from the fast pace of everyday life,” say owners Christophe and Christina Schmuck. “Blending cutting-edge longevity insights with new therapies, gentle movement, and rest, we are confident that we’ve created a space that supports the need not just for relaxation, but for meaningful lasting wellbeing. This is health redefined—for today, tomorrow, and beyond.”
Inspired by the forest that surrounds the property, the WaldSPA Health philosophy is based on four pillars: Roots, supporting digestive health and metabolic function through tools like the uVida metabolic analysis, nutrient detox programs, and more; Strength, addressing the musculoskeletal system with Technogym assessments, movement analysis, personal training, and strength diagnostics to improve mobility, stability, and overall performance; Breath, enhancing the respiratory system and cellular regeneration through yoga, breathwork sessions, oxygen-reduced altitude training, cryotherapy, and ice bathing; and Mind, enhancing emotional balance and mental clarity with meditation, forest bathing, cognitive testing, and expert-led talks.
The new space, designed by A2 Architektur, includes two high-tech treatment rooms, an infusion therapy lounge, and a cryotherapy chamber. Cryotherapy is used for pain management, cell regeneration, and immune system support. An altitude-training suite is designed to increase endurance and stimulate recovery by mimicking reduced oxygen conditions. Overseen by a dedicated health concierge, WaldSPA Health offers services rooted in evidence-based practices, with medical supervision from a board of experts who offer nutrient infusions and oversee health screenings.
Integrated into the overall guest experience, WaldSPA Health is available for guests to sample individualized health measures into their stays, from a single breathwork session to a multi-day retreat.
