Chenot Palace Weggis: how to choose the right program

At Chenot Palace Weggis, science-backed wellness meets luxury and tranquility. It's the ideal retreat to detox, regain energy, have an in-depth health check, and invest in your longevity.

Whether you’re seeking deep cleansing, stress relief, or a proactive approach to aging well, the three Chenot programs are designed to reset your body and mind using the renowned Chenot Method. Each program is tailored to distinct goals, and it is important to select the right one for your condition and objectives.

Let’s break it down to help you find the perfect fit for your wellness journey.

The Chenot Method: The Core of Every Program

At the heart of all the Chenot programs is the Chenot Method, a holistic approach developed over 50 years by Henri Chenot and his teams. This method integrates advanced diagnostics, personalized treatments, and the Chenot Diet to detoxify, rebalance, and revitalize.

Each program begins with in-depth assessments, measuring Chenot Lifestyle Biomarkers, body composition analysis, and more. The test results are interpreted to customize your program and your experience. From there, treatments like hydrotherapy, energetic massages, and cutting-edge therapies work in synergy to unlock your vitality.

The difference lies in the focus and treatments included in each program. Here’s a closer look at the 3 flagship 7-night programs of Chenot:

Advanced Detox
Recover & Energise (with an optional Sleep Cycles module)
Prevention & Ageing Well

I hope this guide helps you decide which aligns with your needs. I remain at your disposal for a confidential consultation to discuss your needs and advise you on the ideal retreat (use the contact form under this post).

Duration & Commitment

All programs are 7 nights minimum, ensuring meaningful results. Extensions are available. 7 nights is really great, because the Chenot programs are designed to give you optimal results in such a short duration. 10 nights gives you more time to anchor the results and make sure you can easily transition back to normal life. 14 nights is also possible and allows for the deepest cleanse.

Prices at Chenot Palace Weggis

At Chenot, programs and rooms / suites are priced separately, and you can add optional treatments on top of it if you wish (medical aesthetics, massages, etc.), but the programs are already optimized as they are.

The 3 Chenot programs start at varying rates (e.g., Recover & Energise with Sleep Cycles is CHF 8,200, excluding accommodation starting at CHF 410/night for a Nest room).
