A typical day starts with a guided hike in the mountains around Saas-Fee. The hikes are described as pleasant rather than punishing, but at this altitude even a steady walk gets your heart rate up, which is the point: cardio fitness, leg strength and a faster metabolism. The hikes also double as a kind of walking meditation, with time to switch off from screens and work.

Afternoons are slower. There's yoga to work on posture, flexibility and balance, meditation sessions, and talks and discussions on topics like stress, resilience and sleep. Yoga closes out each day to help your body recover from the morning's walking. Before bed you get time in The Capra Private Spa.

What sets this apart from a standard spa week is the structure behind it. The programme works through how habits form and how to swap bad ones for better ones, so a lot of the focus is on what happens after you leave. Sleep gets real attention too: there are sleep-friendly menus, evening spa time and meditation aimed at getting you a proper night's rest.

The seasons change the feel of the week. In winter you're in deep snow with tobogganing and skiing on the doorstep; in summer the hiking trails open up and the days are long. Family weeks run at set times of year, with children getting their own programme of activities matched to their age and interests.

Saas-Fee itself is a big part of the appeal. It's a car-free village surrounded by glaciers and high peaks, and it holds Switzerland's 'Family Destination' certification, which means themed trails, playgrounds, organised kids' activities and plenty of untouched nature close by.

The Capra is a luxury hotel, so this is a comfortable stay rather than a bootcamp. If you want more intensity, one-to-one personal training sessions are available on top of the core programme.
