Where alpine nature meets advanced recovery science, the Villars Palace Biohacking Lab offers a new approach to regeneration, longevity and human performance.
Exclusively available to guests of Villars Palace, the Lab brings together six carefully selected technologies, including hyperbaric oxygen, whole-body cryotherapy, photobiomodulation, SensoPro sensorimotor training, the AlterG anti-gravity treadmill and the Human Regenerator.
During the Alpine Training Taster, you will enjoy a guided introduction to selected technologies and discover how they can support recovery, balance, mobility and performance.
This is an introductory tasting experience—not the complete Biohacking Experience or a personalised clinical programme. It is designed to give you an inspiring first look at the science-led approach behind the longer recovery and performance journeys available at Villars Palace.
Balance the thrill of alpine cycling with time on the fairways at Golf Club Villars. Surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery, this experience offers a relaxed change of pace after your ride and a memorable way to enjoy another side of Villars.
Your weekend golf experience can include access to the course and practice facilities, equipment rental and unlimited driving-range balls, with the final format tailored to the group and confirmed before arrival.
Discover Villars through the eyes of cyclists who know these roads best. Our local guides lead you beyond the obvious routes, sharing quiet climbs, panoramic roads, favourite cafés and the stories that make this region special.
There is no need to travel with your own bike. Premium Bianchi road bikes are available to rent in Villars and will be prepared for your ride before you arrive. Simply share your height, preferred frame size and pedal system when booking, and our team will take care of the rest.
