Treatments and Wellness Activities
The mission of Six Senses focuses heavily on wellness and well-being. The Austrian Alps are highly regarded for their amazing skiing slopes, and Six Senses plans to use this in their winter wellness activities. However, the landscape remains just as beautiful in the summer allowing for guests to partake in swimming, hiking, cycling, golf and other activities.
The spa at the property will provide a wide array of spa treatments including: signature massages, restorative therapies, facials and body treatments. The spa will also be using the preventative aspects of Eastern medicine combined with Western influences. Meaning, in-house experts will be able to provide guests with lifestyle and nutritional advice as well as design a personalized program of spa treatments, fitness and wellness activities.

Traditional Austrian design
The overall design concept of Six Senses Kitzbühel Alps could best be described as a modern interpretation of traditional Austrian design. Warm natural finishes incorporate wood and stone with the introduction of rough-hewn exposed timber beams in public areas. Glorious swaths of natural light wed the seasons to the interiors and the restrained use of art and craft features subtly define the setting.
