Packing list for the perfect holiday in a wellness hotel

You've finally booked your stay at one of the Best Alpine Wellness Hotels, the anticipation is great, the desire to pack is quite small. No matter how long you put off packing, at some point you will ask yourself what you need to take with you. This partly depends on the time of year, the length of your holiday and the activities you want to do. Nevertheless, there are certain aspects that can be considered for every wellness holiday.

If you are dependent on medication, you should make sure you have enough before you set off. Basically, it is not a bad idea to have something in your toiletry bag for typical ailments such as stomach aches, general pain or fever.

The choice of clothing contributes to relaxation, so it is important to pack clothes that you feel comfortable in.

If you want to spend your holiday not only in the wellness area but also enjoy outdoor activities, you should pack suitable sportswear for the weather so that you can enjoy nature to the full. As all Best Alpine Wellness Hotels are located in idyllic natural settings, they are perfect for year-round outdoor activities, whether golfing, hiking, winter sports, biking, swimming or yoga, there is something for everyone.

In addition, many of the resorts of the Best Alpine Wellness Hotels provide equipment for various activities (rucksacks, hiking poles, etc.). This can save space in your suitcase or you can do your favourite sports despite having forgotten your equipment. To be on the safe side, it is best to call the hotel before departure and ask exactly what can be provided by the hotel.

After an eventful day in the mountains or a relaxing wellness day, you can look forward to an excellent dinner. As the Best Alpine Wellness Hotels often organise evening programmes such as gala dinners, aperitif receptions or similar, it is advisable to pack elegant/casual clothing.

On arrival in the rooms of the best wellness hotels, you will find a bathing bag containing disposable slippers, towels and bathrobes. As everything needed in the wellness area is provided, you only need to pack your swimming trunks or bikini. For the sake of the environment, we recommend that you either bring your own disposable slippers or take the ones in the bathing bag home with you and use them again. Shampoo, shower gel, body lotion and a hairdryer do not need to be brought along either, as these are also provided in the rooms.

To maximise the relaxation effect, you should leave your everyday life, work and associated devices such as laptops and tablets at home. You are also welcome to leave your mobile phone in your room so as not to disturb other guests, especially in the textile-free area and in the relaxation rooms. For the breaks between infusions, sauna sessions and treatments, we recommend packing an exciting book that you have wanted to read for a long time but haven't found the time.

This is no problem in all 4-star superior to 5-star superior hotels of the Best Alpine Wellness Hotels! Hygiene articles such as toothbrushes, razors, creams etc. are of course available at reception. The more than 2000 employees of the wellness hotels always endeavour to make your wellness holiday as unforgettable and relaxing as possible. Anything that has been forgotten and is not available on site can be organised.
