London 26 July 2016 – With Summer just around the corner, Zurich's most iconic Grande Dame, Baur au Lac has a healthy regime to help guests maintain their fitness with their new Zurich Fit package. For many, the thought of detoxing and exercising whilst travelling might pose a serious challenge, but when your expert personal training session has Lake Zurich as a backdrop, the prospect of exercising is as exhilarating as it is easy.

From June to October, guests can enjoy a scenic personal training session beside beautiful Lake Zurich and take in the stunning surroundings of the hotel, followed by a supervised detox training session taking place in the hotel's fully equipped fitness centre

Take on vitamins and energy with fresh fruits and a delicious power bar, in your room on arrival; setting you up for a healthy and energetic stay. Start the day with a super-food laden 'Athlete's Breakfast' including a green-detox-smoothie featuring refreshing, cold-pressed green apple, ginger and celery, as well as gourmet spelt pumpernickel topped with smoked turkey breast and cherry tomatoes. Breakfast is served from 6.30am, ideal for those early morning training sessions with the sun rising over Lake Zurich.

After a morning of exercise, Chef Olivier Rais and his team at Rive Gauche will prepare a nutritious lunch, dishes include grilled turbot flavoured with a citron dressing, wild rice with sweet paprika and green garden vegetables which are ideal for refuelling.  Whether you're in Zurich for business or a lakeside getaway, maintaining your healthy lifestyle or kick-starting a new regime, Baur au Lac's thoughtful new package makes sticking to your life plan simply seamless.

NOTES TO EDITORS

Having been the Swiss location of choice for the world's elite and jet-set for over 170 years Baur au Lac remains one of the premier showcases of Swiss luxury hospitality.

Last year it unveiled a complete renovation of its central lobby lounge Le Hall, where Bertha von Suttner convinced industrial magnate Alfred Nobel there was a need for a world peace prize. Prior to that a refresh of their Michelin-starred Pavillon restaurant which has curated gourmet talents such as Daniel Humm of Eleven Madison Park was that.

Over the years it has welcomed a host of other notable visitors including Thomas Mann who wrote there, Marc Chagall who sketched there (he left his stamp in some of the rooms) and Franz Liszt who accompanied his son-in-law Richard Wagner on a piano for the world premiere of 'Die Walküre'.
