What this actually is

The programme

Lanserhof Lans says the Lanserhof Classic package forms the basis of a stay. With their attending physician, guests develop a diagnostic and therapy strategy for their own needs and goals. Prices are published for stays from 7–8 nights to 17–21 nights, and the property recommends two weeks.

What is included depends on the length of stay. The Classic page lists medical examinations with abdominal treatment, reflexology and therapeutic massages, detox drainage, detox algae packs with a liver wrap and detox foot baths, with bioimpedance, resting-lactate and urine diagnostics. A resort fee of €63 per person per night is charged on top, and accommodation is priced separately.

The 2026 Lans brochure says a stay can only be arranged with the Lanserhof fasting therapy, which the concept page calls the core of its method — though the German FAQ says fasting is not required and the guest Q&A calls it optional. The nutrition page says chewing training is taught at the start of a stay, with each bite chewed 30 to 40 times while fasting.


Is this your kind of stay?

Who it may suit, and when to consider another option

Use both columns as travel-planning guidance. Final medical suitability must be discussed with your own doctor and the qualified team at the property.

Consider this if

  • Guests who want a diagnostic and therapy strategy agreed with a physician as the basis of a stay
  • Stays of at least seven nights — the property recommends two weeks

Consider another option if

  • Stays shorter than seven nights — the minimum for Lanserhof Classic; the property’s 4-day retreats are separate programmes
  • Children — the German FAQ says a stay with children is not possible; the guest Q&A says under-16s are generally not accommodated
  • Day-spa or outpatient visits — the German FAQ and Q&A say no; the Q&A says exceptions may be made for recent guests back for follow-up care
  • Guests travelling with pets — the brochure says cats and dogs cannot be accommodated; the German FAQ says to ask about exceptions

Where you stay

Lanserhof Lans

The Lans page says the first Lanserhof opened here in 1984 and calls it "the origin of the Lanserhof Method". An interview on the group’s site says a hotel built in 1974 became a health hotel in 1984, starting with F.X. Mayr medicine.

Lanserhof’s method centres on its fasting therapy. The room and a binding EUR 63 fee per person a night, not refunded if unused, are extra. Outpatient stays are not offered, and the first days may bring headaches, dizziness or fatigue. Cancelling under four weeks out can cost 50% of the room rate.

Who looks after you

Supervision, by qualification and number

Clinical and practitioner teams are described by role and qualification rather than by individual name, because staffing changes. The property will confirm the current team and explain how practitioners are assigned before or on arrival.

Clinical supervision
The programme page says guests develop a diagnostic and therapy strategy with their attending physician. The Classic page lists a 24-hour on-call physician; the 2026 Lans brochure lists an on-call doctor, duty and night service.
The team around you
Lanserhof’s German FAQ says its team of doctors looks after guests throughout the stay, working closely with therapists and with movement and nutrition experts.
Consultations
For 12–16 nights: a 50-minute initial examination, 6 examinations with abdominal treatment, a findings discussion and a final one.
Your call with us is for travel planning. We can help compare the programme, destination, length, season and journey logistics. Medical questions belong with your own doctor and the qualified practitioners at the property.

Questions

Before you ask

How long should a stay be?
The Classic page sets the minimum stay at seven nights and recommends two weeks. Lanserhof’s German FAQ says many guests choose ten to fourteen nights.
Do I have to fast?
The diet is set with your attending physician, from gentle digestive relief to reduced-calorie programmes, and the guest Q&A says fasting is optional. Lanserhof’s method centres on its fasting therapy, so we confirm what your stay includes when we quote.
What does the daily programme look like?
Lanserhof’s guest Q&A, in an answer that does not name Lans or Lanserhof Classic, says a typical day might bring morning exercise or meditation and medical check-ins, then personalised therapies and movement sessions, relaxation or hydrotherapy, and dinner from Lanserhof Energy Cuisine. It says guests can usually adjust or skip sessions.
Is there medical care throughout the stay?
The German FAQ says its team of doctors looks after guests for the whole stay, with therapists and movement and nutrition experts. The Classic page lists a 24-hour on-call physician under the resort fee; the brochure ties the €63 flat rate to on-call and night-time medical services.
How many meals are served each day?
The German FAQ says three meals a day of Lanserhof Energy Cuisine, set to your health goal and therapy plan with your attending physician. The guest Q&A says the room rate includes doctor-prescribed meals, medicinal herbal teas, mineral water and alkaline broth.
Do I need to book treatments in advance?
The German FAQ says no: basic treatments are reserved when you book, and more can be added after the first consultation. The guest Q&A recommends booking the Lanserhof Advanced or Longevity Cure in advance, and says additional treatments can be booked during the stay, subject to availability.
Will health insurance pay for the stay?
The German FAQ says insurance does not usually cover the full cost, though some medical, diagnostic or therapy services may be reimbursable, and offers a detailed invoice of medical services. The brochure says reimbursement by private insurance cannot be guaranteed. The guest Q&A says a cost estimate can be prepared for the insurer.
When should I arrive and leave?
The 2026 Lans brochure asks guests to arrive on a Sunday by 5 p.m. if they can, with rooms available from 3 p.m., and gives check-out as 11 a.m. The German FAQ and the guest Q&A give check-out as 12:00 noon.
What are the cancellation terms?
The brochure says the property reserves the right to charge 50% of the room rate for cancelled nights less than four weeks before arrival, and 90% less than seven days before if the room cannot be given to another guest. The guest Q&A says these fees will apply. Both say the terms apply to everyone booked in the same room.
Can someone share my room without the programme?
Yes, arranged in advance. A companion without medical care can share the main guest’s room for an additional fee; we confirm the length and terms when we quote.
Can the programme be done as an outpatient?
No, according to the German FAQ and the guest Q&A. The Q&A says guests may have side effects such as headaches, dizziness or fatigue in the first days, and should stay on site where the medical team is available.
How can I prepare for the stay?
The German FAQ says no special preparation is needed, beyond thinking about your goals and slowing down beforehand. The guest Q&A suggests cutting back on coffee, alcohol and sugar, eating lighter and sleeping well for a few days before arrival. The brochure suggests tea instead of coffee.
