Things To Do

Mountain Trek’s classically beautiful timber frame lodge is the perfect accommodation for rediscovering your wellness. Each cosy bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, luxury linens, bathrobe and organic, natural bath products to enjoy. Some rooms offer private patios with lake views, and daily housekeeping and laundry service is available to all. The bed sizes vary but each room is finely appointed although spartan because they’re intended to be slept in – the rest of the time you’ll be Nordic Fitness Trekking outdoors, working out in the fitness rooms, eating delicious spa cuisine meals or relaxing in the outdoor hot tub, in the sauna or steam room or in the massage rooms.

The lodge boasts many common areas, including a vast yoga room and gymnasium that look out over the lake and the mountains. The custom-made table in the large dining room seats 16 and the living room has a wood-burning stove and library to encourage evening relaxation.

The comprehensive spa area includes an outdoor hot tub, cold plunge pool and waterfall, while indoors there is a steam room, infrared sauna and massage room.

Each retreat programme includes all meals. Mountain Trek is not a diet retreat, but aims to promote healthier eating habits and natural detoxification through a clean, unprocessed menu. By encouraging an anabolic (active) metabolism, the cuisine lays the groundwork for positive changes in your life, including detoxification, better sleep and alleviating stress. The food uses locally farmed organic vegetables, fruit, and meat for a calorie-controlled spa menu expertly prepared by professional chefs.

You will wake up to a protein shake, enjoy a savoury breakfast, eat snacks and a nutritious lunch on the trail, then relax at dinner over a satisfying, mouth-watering entrée. The cuisine is designed to provide you with all the energy you need for hiking and fitness activities while meeting your health and weight loss goals. Dietary requirements can be catered to - just ask.
