Locatedon the shores of Lake Lucerne, the Chenot Palace Weggis is much more than just a wellness center. It’s a sanctuary dedicated to the regeneration of body and mind. With its 5,000 m² of state-of-the-art medical facilities, the palace offers an immersive experience where every detail is designed to promote rejuvenation and relaxation.

The “Prevention & Ageing Well” program is also available at Chenot Palace Gabalain Azerbaijan, for those who wish to enjoy this experience in another exceptional setting.

A scientific approach to well-being

The “Prevention & Ageing Well” program begins with an extremely comprehensive health assessment, at the crossroads of preventive medicine and cutting-edge technology. The aim: to better understand how your body works today, so you can take targeted action to enhance your vitality tomorrow.

It all starts with an analysis of Chenot’s Lifestyle Biomarkers, an exclusive tool that assesses the impact of your daily life (diet, stress, sleep, activity level) on your cellular health. These precious data reveal the state of your detoxification, inflammation and oxidation mechanisms, the three main pillars of biological aging.

This is complemented by infrared thermal mapping, a non-invasive process that highlights the body’s energetic imbalances, visualizing areas of stress, tension or inflammation invisible to the naked eye. It’s an innovative way of spotting weak signals before they become symptoms.

The analysis is complemented by a detailed study of body composition (fat mass, muscle mass, hydration), blood pressure and basal metabolic rate, as well as physical performance and posture tests. The whole process is supervised by a multidisciplinary team of doctors, nutritionists, therapists and sports coaches.

By cross-referencing all these results, the experts at Chenot Palace Weggis draw up an ultra-personalized health check-up that is both precise and preventive. This assessment is then used to tailor every treatment, every meal, every activity to your unique needs. Because here, it’s not a question of following a generic protocol, but of living a tailor-made experience that takes into account the individual in his or her entirety: his or her body, lifestyle, rhythm and emotions.

The Chenot Diet®: a diet for longevity

At the heart of the “Prevention & Ageing Well” program lies a fundamental pillar of the Chenot method: the Chenot Diet®. Much more than just a diet, it’s a therapeutic nutritional approach designed to activate the body’s natural detoxification and regeneration mechanisms.

This low-calorie plant-based diet (around 850 kcal per day) is based on the principles of intermittent fasting, without the constraints. It places the body in a particular metabolic state, known as “fasting mimicry”, enabling it to cleanse itself thoroughly without depriving the patient of essential nutrients. As a result, cells are activated to eliminate toxins, repair damaged tissue, regulate inflammation and stimulate cell renewal – key processes in slowing the effects of aging.

But make no mistake about it: even with calorie restriction, the pleasure of eating is still there. Each dish is created by chefs in collaboration with nutritionists, in a quest for harmony between taste, texture and benefits. The plates are beautiful, colorful and inventive, celebrating the naturalness of the products while respecting the specific metabolic needs of each phase of the program.

The Chenot Diet® therefore acts as a treatment from within, in perfect synergy with external therapeutic treatments. It’s not simply a matter of losing weight, but of reconnecting the body to a state of optimal balance, where energy is fluid, digestion light, sleep deeper, and vitality naturally regained.

Therapeutic treatments to revitalize the body

The “Prevention & Ageing Well” program doesn’t just analyze and advise: it acts. Each day is punctuated by targeted treatments, selected to stimulate the body’s key functions and strengthen its self-regenerative capacities.

Chenot energetic massages: Six sessions combining manual techniques and Chinese energetic principles to reactivate vital flows and improve blood and lymph circulation. The result: more energy, less tension and a new-found sense of lightness.
Hydro-aromatherapy: These therapeutic baths, enriched with essential oils selected according to your needs, support the detoxification process while providing real physical and mental well-being.
Phyto-mud wraps: A natural treatment that uses heat and medicinal plants to revitalize the skin, stimulate metabolism and deeply relax muscles.
Whole-body Cryotherapy: Six sessions at -110°C for an immediate metabolic boost, reduced inflammation, natural pain relief and a positive impact on mood and sleep.
Hypoxic training: Performed in a chamber simulating altitude, this type of exercise improvesendurance, promotes fat burning and stimulates cellular oxygenation. It’s an effective way of building fitness without overtaxing the body.

Each treatment is coherently integrated into the program to optimize overall results and guide the body towards a healthier, more stable and longer-lasting state.

A holistic approach to well-being

According to Chenot, ageing well is not just about the physical dimension. It’s a holistic approach that takes into account the whole person: the body, of course, but also the mind, stress levels and lifestyle habits. That’s why the “Prevention & Ageing Well” program incorporates essential elements for reconnecting body and mind.

Medical and nutritional consultations
Two sessions with a doctor and two with a nutritionist enable us to monitor your progress precisely. These appointments are an opportunity to adjust care, diet and recommendations to your real needs – because good support is above all personalized follow-up.

Daily activities
Every day, you’re invited to move gently, with sessions of yoga, stretching, aquagym or supervised hikes. These activities improve mobility, breathing and balance, and help you manage stress more effectively. They contribute fully to the effectiveness of the program, without ever pushing the body beyond its limits.

Educational lectures
Twice a week, workshops and lectures enable you to learn more about key topics such as nutrition, how fasting works and mental health. The idea: leave with concrete tools and a better understanding of your own health.

Rest areas designed for sleep
Sleep is one of the pillars of better living. The soundproofed rooms at Chenot Palace Weggis are equipped with technologies that promote recovery: optimal temperature, mattresses and lighting designed to support circadian rhythms… Everything is designed to ensure that your nights are as restorative as your days.

Tangible, lasting results

In just one week, the effects can be felt. Participants leave with more energy, a clearer mind, a tangible reduction in stress and a renewed sense of lightness. Much more than a wellness interlude, the Prevention & Ageing Well program acts as a real reboot of the system, both physical and mental.

But its impact goes far beyond the short term. Thanks to the diagnostics, targeted treatments and advice provided throughout the stay, the foundations for a healthier, more conscious lifestyle are laid. The program gives everyone the keys to sustainably maintain their vitality, prevent future imbalances and face the future with confidence.
