Small corporate groups of up to seven people will be able to pick from four themed spa programmes – as part of a package called ‘Meet in Balance’ – to help attendees leave at the end of the day feeling energised rather than drained. The four programmes are named Relax, Beauty, Vitality and Detox.
Attendees will be taken on a tour of the facility before meeting for two hours in the site’s spa library for business dis- cussions. This will be followed by a tailored bootcamp session in the hill- side forests surrounding the resort. Themed spa treatments will be pro- vided for these business guests along with lunch in the spa café. Dolder Grand Spa director Therese
