There is healing in the air

Welcome to Gais, Switzerland – the perfect place
for retreat, regeneration, and health

Gais is perfectly situated right in the center of the Appenzell region’s idyllic lake and Alpine landscape, known by original purity, tranquility, and breath taking views. It is here in 1748 the whey cure was first applied, and became popular for decades after. People from around the world who were seeking healing from chronic infections came to Gais, drank fresh whey from the Alpine farmers every day and enjoyed fresh Alpine air.

This unique place, surrounded by the Alpstein mountains and the Arlberg, a part of the Austrian Alps, is located on a plateau with an elevation of nearly 1,000 meters. Even if the whey cure is no longer as important as it once was, Gais still welcomes several thousands of tourists each year who are looking to relax, regenerate, and renew their strength. Alpstein Clinic, established in 2018, is enabling these curative activities once again, offering Swiss high-level holistic medicine.
