What this actually is
The programme
A diagnostic and metabolic week built on the Mayr method: bloods, body composition, cardiovascular assessment and a graded diet, with unhurried physician consultations that are the reason people choose this house over its glossier neighbours.
At roughly 900 m above Innsbruck, with the graded walking the cure depends on directly outside the door — prescribed rather than suggested.
Intensity: Moderate — you will notice it. Every programme here carries this line, because "restorative" and "demanding" are sold with the same photographs.
Read this part twice
Who this is for, and who it is wrong for
Read the right-hand column as carefully as the left. It is the half that decides whether this is a good fortnight or a wasted one, and it is published before the price for that reason.
✓Book this if
- A metabolic baseline you will actually act on — insulin resistance, lipids, visceral fat
- Anyone who wants the medicine without the destination-spa dressing
- Guests comparing Mayr houses on clinical quality rather than architecture
- A first cure, where value matters
✗Do not book this if
- Any history of an eating disorder
- Anyone expecting a luxury hotel — it is a comfortable Alpine house and no more
- Pregnancy, and diabetes on insulin without your own doctor’s written plan

A day, hour by hour
What a Tuesday actually looks like
Three hours are fixed. The consultations are unhurried, which is the main reason regulars choose this house.
- Wake, weigh, and bloods on assessment days
- BreakfastGraded to your assignment; chewing training from day one.
- Physician consultationUnhurried — twenty minutes, not five.
- Manual abdominal treatment
- Prescribed walk on the hill
- Lunch
- Rest or diagnosticsCardio-pulmonary testing and body composition fall here.
- Treatment or the thermal suite
- Supper, and the eating window closes
Where you stay
Park Igls
The most clinically serious and least resort-like of the famous Austrian Mayr houses — and consistently the best value among them.
Park IglsIgls, above Innsbruck · Austria
It looks like a comfortable Alpine hotel rather than a destination spa, and guests expecting Lanserhof’s architecture are briefly disappointed. Then the medicine turns out to be at least as good and about half the price. If you want to be photographed, go elsewhere; if you want the cure, this is the one we would take ourselves.
The full profile →Who looks after you
Supervision, by qualification and number
You will not find a physician's name on this site. Staff move, and a page that names one is a page that quietly goes out of date — worse, it invites you to book a person no house can promise will be on shift. Assignment is made on arrival, from your examination, at every serious property here.
- Clinical supervision
- Physicians trained in modern Mayr medicine, with diagnostics and laboratory work on site and therapists for manual abdominal treatment.
- The team around you
- The medical density here is comparable to its better-known neighbours; the difference is in the building, not the medicine.
- Consultations
- An opening examination, reviews through the cure and a closing consultation with laboratory work repeated.
Your consultation is with our clinical desk, not a salesperson. The free call before you book is about whether this programme is right for you at all — and often enough it ends with a recommendation to go shorter, later, or somewhere we do not sell.
Counted, so you can compare
What is actually in it
Most of this industry publishes inclusions as a bulleted list, which cannot be compared between two programmes at two prices. These can.
- 10days of prescribed diet
In stages, from the medical examination, revised as the cure progresses.
- 5+medical examinations
With laboratory work at the start and the end, so the result is measured rather than felt.
- 8+manual treatments
Abdominal treatment, the core of the method.
- 1genuine single-room house
A large proportion of the rooms here are real singles rather than doubles sold for sole use — which for a solo guest is a material difference in the price.
The money
Prices, by season and occupancy
Both occupancies in every band, before you enquire rather than after. Sole occupancy is not half a double and never has been — publishing only the sharing rate quotes the minority of this market and surprises the rest.
Long enough for the laboratory work at the end to mean something against the work at the start.
| Season | Sharing | Single |
|---|---|---|
| Low seasonNovember to February | US$4,690 | US$5,670 |
| ShoulderMarch and April | US$5,340 | US$6,430 |
| High seasonMay to October | US$6,210 | US$7,520 |
- Low season. Short days and snow. Both Mayr houses run all winter and it is the least expensive time to take a cure — which, given you will be indoors and fasting, is worth thinking about seriously.
- Shoulder. The thaw. Changeable föhn weather, and the quietest weeks of the year at both houses.
- High season. Alpine walking from the door, long light evenings, and the months everybody wants. Book six months out.
What the price is. Per person for ten nights, including the room, the prescribed Mayr diet at every stage, medical examinations and diagnostics, manual abdominal treatment, the movement programme and the sauna and pool. Transfers from Innsbruck and flights are quoted separately.
Illustrative, and held for seven days once we have quoted you in writing. Nothing on this site costs more for booking it through us.

Questions
The ones we are actually asked
Is this really "longevity"?
It is metabolic medicine, which is the part of the longevity conversation that has evidence behind it. Nobody here will sell you an infusion or a cell therapy, and if that is what you were looking for we would rather lose the booking.
Lanserhof or Park Igls?
Park Igls if you want the most clinical tone and the best value; Lanserhof if you want the diagnostics and the architecture and do not mind paying for both. We will tell you plainly which one your answers point at.
