A “better-ageing destination spa” has debuted at the Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa in Interlaken, Switzerland, using Swiss-based skincare brand Nescens.

The Victoria-Jungfrau previously had a spa, but the spa has now become the second dedicated Nescens spa – following the opening of the first one at La Reserve Geneva in April of this year.

Overseeing the spa is Hans-Peter Veit, who joined as spa director following his tenure as head of spa for Oetker Collection. The 5,500sq m (59,201sq ft) Spa Nescens includes 16 treatment rooms, a fitness area, saunas, steam rooms, relaxation areas and tennis courts.

The Spa Nescens offers a range of tailor-made better-ageing programmes lasting four or seven days, and aims to provide solutions for changing personal habits that are enjoyable.

Personal fitness and nutrition are combined with specially designed treatments in the highly personalised programme, provided by a multidisciplinary team of therapists, coaches and medical specialists. Nescens better-ageing treatments are rooted in the philosophy of living well, in better shape, and for as long as possible.

The programmes start with sessions with a doctor, osteopath and dietician for a health and diet lifestyle assessment, as well as physical and joint-health evaluation, a preventative plan with nutritional advice and a fitness programme.

A typical day in the programme consists of physical activities and personalised treatments, including better-ageing massages, balneotherapy treatments, body wraps, body contouring or exfoliation. Three personalised healthy meals a day are also provided.

The five-star Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa is located amid the mountains of the Bernese Highlands, overlooking the Jungfrau.
