Mount Med Resort, Oberau, Austria
Mount Med Resort is in a quiet valley about an hour from Innsbruck in the village of Oberau. Designed by architects Mach Architektur in a traditional Austrian chalet style, it comprises seven monastic heritage rooms, 39 rooms and suites and 14 chalet suites boasting incredible views. Interiors are by Weber Interior Design.
In soothing shades of green, the wellness spa spreads out across one floor with an indoor-outdoor pool, three saunas and two steam rooms. Four relaxation areas provide loungers overlooking the distant mountains.
The medical-led resort is overseen by brothers Dr Alexander Papp, a plastic surgeon and Dr Stephan Papp, an orthopaedic specialist. The concept is based on their MyLife Changer programme, originally developed to assist people undergoing surgery and now the heart of the guest journey at this property.
“The method was originally designed to enhance general health and postoperative recovery for breast cancer patients, aiming to improve and accelerate the healing process. However, it has also proven highly effective in improving overall health and positively influencing biological age in healthy individuals, particularly in the area of prevention,” says Dr Alexander Papp.
Diet-based recovery
Guests are put on a high-protein, low-carb and low-fat food regime, eating five times a day to stimulate autophagy, cleaning the cells and revitalising the body. The keto-like diet has been used to aid post-surgery recovery in
Papp & Papp’s private clinic. The programmes are supported by tests (bloods, metabolism and 3D body scan) to determine the guest’s true health profile. Heart and lung function and gait analysis can also be included, as well as MRI and ultrasound scans at a local clinic.
