Massage:
Mayatiita, Lolita, Ivana or Igor
During your stay at Monte Rosa you can indulge yourself with a massage. We offer various types of massages. Some guests like a firm approach that loosens the muscles, for example after a long day of hiking. Others prefer a gentle, relaxing, more intuitive massage. A third may enjoy a pressure point massage, to elimate energy blockages and let the energy flow freely through the body.
