It's the largest and most complete of the Lanserhof resorts, and the group describes it as its main destination for prevention, recovery and performance. The resort covers around 21,000 square meters, and the rooms and suites use clean lines, natural materials and lots of daylight. This is a medical resort first. You'll have a doctor, a schedule of therapies and a clear structure to each day, with free time in between for walks, rest and the views. The medical team includes specialists in internal medicine, naturopathy, rehabilitative medicine and anesthesiology, and there's a dedicated Brain Health Centre. The World Spa Awards named it World's Best Medical Spa 2025. ## The programs Programs are built around the Lanserhof Concept, the group's approach to health that combines medical diagnostics with natural therapies, movement and rest. Therapies are planned after you book, so there's limited room to change things once you arrive. - **Essential Health Check.** A four-night stay for taking stock of your health. It includes initial and final medical exams, lab tests, body composition measurement, a fitness assessment with grip strength and VO2 max, abdominal and thyroid ultrasound, plus massage, salt therapy, cryotherapy and daily group movement and relaxation sessions. - **Me-Time.** A four-night recovery break with one medical consultation and a mix of soothing therapies, such as a detox wrap and bath, marma point massage, foot reflexology, craniosacral therapy, singing bowl therapy and a guided relaxation session. - **Beauty Boost and Beauty Boost Intense.** Four-day retreats that focus on skin and regeneration. - **Longer stays.** Lanserhof's broader medical programs are offered here too, and the resort's team can advise on which suits your goals. Every program includes medical lectures, a cultural evening program and medical on-call cover at night. ## Food Food is part of the treatment at Lanserhof, and meals follow the group's own nutrition approach rather than a standard hotel menu. Expect lighter eating while you're here. Ask the team in advance about how your program shapes your meals. ## Who it suits (and who it doesn't) Lanserhof Tegernsee suits people who want real medical insight into their health, those recovering from burnout or a demanding stretch at work, and anyone who likes structure and clear results. It's also a good choice if you want a checkup that goes well beyond a standard physical. It's not the right place if you want a relaxed spa holiday with long lunches and wine. The days are planned, and the focus is on your health. ## Getting there The nearest major airport is Munich. Lake Tegernsee is roughly 90 kilometers from Munich airport, about an hour and a half by car. By public transport, you can take the S-Bahn from the airport to Munich's main station, then the regional BOB train toward Gmund and Tegernsee. The resort can help arrange a transfer. ## Frequently asked questions ### How long are the programs? The shortest set programs, such as the Essential Health Check and Me-Time, run for five days with four nights. Longer medical stays are available. ### Is it a hospital?
