MOUNT MED RESORT: NEW RETREAT SERIES

Mount Med Resort in Tyrol presents a new series of exclusive weekend retreats that combine regeneration protocols from the film industry with refined, high-end cuisine. The Alpine Performance Retreat weekend series launches on February 20, 2026.

The retreats bring two specialists together under one roof. Viera developed his methodology over 30 years of practice and 15 years of preparing actors for major international film productions such as Aquaman, SEE, Chief of War, The Wrecking Crew and Dune – projects where physical performance is critical to keeping production schedules on track. Schnabel contributes his culinary expertise, creating menus designed to support regeneration and performance: protein-focused, recovery-oriented and conceived as an integral part of the programme rather than a mere accompaniment.

‘What we are building here is fundamentally different from a classic spa weekend,’ says Viera. ‘You have a coach who understands what it takes to keep a body performing under pressure. A chef who understands that food is medicine. And a resort with the spatial and medical infrastructure required for serious work – training rooms, saunas, therapists, medical programmes. This is not relaxation. This is reconstruction.’

Each weekend follows a carefully designed structure. Arrival begins with assessment and orientation. Strength, mobility, outdoor activities, recovery, and nutrition are deliberately combined to support alpine performance – tailored to the individual interests of each guest. At the conclusion, the weekend’s elements are brought together, and every participant receives a 30-day follow-up plan to continue the protocols at home.

The combination of kettlebell training and athletic power yoga is rare in the European luxury wellness segment, where strength training and movement practices are usually offered separately. Viera’s approach integrates kettlebell protocols for hip stabilisation and cardiovascular conditioning with yoga sequences for spinal mobilisation and parasympathetic activation – an integration that helps his high-profile clients remain resilient and injury-free even under demanding schedules.

Mount Med Resort is a medical wellness destination built on the foundations of an 850-year-old monastic tithe barn in the Wildschönau region. The Mylife Changer® methodology applied here combines diagnostics, personalised medicine, and regenerative therapies. The resort features 46 rooms and suites, as well as 14 chalet suites.
