FESTIVE PROGRAMME EVERY YEAR AGAIN
Our festive programme includes a variety of activities and exclusive culinary treats to make your Christmas and New Year‘s Eve break even more enjoyable. There is plenty to discover at the Lenkerhof gourmet spa resort and at Lenk in the picturesque Simmental.
The festive programme is subject to change.
It is difficult to describe the Advent and Christmas period as the quietest time of the year in the hustle and bustle of the big cities. It‘s a completely different story on holiday at Lenk in the Simmental, where the winter landscape between the snow-covered peaks at the end of the most beautiful valley in the Alps brings back the peace and tranquillity of the Advent season. Inner peace, finding yourself and enjoying Christmas with all your senses is possible at the Lenkerhof gourmet spa resort.
