Many of us are “digital addicts”. Addicted to information of any kind. How much time do you think Germans spend on their cell phones? According to a study by German television, it’s an average of three and a half hours a day! Don’t you believe it? Then do the math: just checking your e-mails or WhatsApp, looking for the latest trends or streaming the latest series in the evening. And don’t forget the home office with video conferences, endless phone calls and work on the computer. For many people, this leads to stress, which in turn leads to feeling empty and burnt out.

Our green pearls are ‘THE Places to be’ to switch off and come down and enjoy digital detox.

High up without a cell phone

Hand on heart – can you put your cell phone away during your vacation and simply not be reachable? The Hubertus Mountain Refugio Allgäu makes it easy for you. You switch off your cell phone and hand it in on arrival. A specially created digital silence program supports you in your withdrawal symptoms. Yoga, meditation, Tai Chi and a huge wellness and massage program await you. The HUBERTUS Mountain Refugio Allgäu makes you “want to live” – without your cell phone! Try it out.

Radiation free in the city

In Paris, too, you’ll find places like Hôtel le Pavillon Paris where you can relax radiation-free after a long day. The hotel is a small oasis in the middle of the vibrant city. It is located in the premises of a former monastery and welcomes you with a mixture of historical charm and a holistic sustainable design concept. Barbara, the wonderful hostess, wants to enable guests to live and sleep radiation-free. All windows are designed to protect against high-frequency radiation, and for electro-sensitive people there are three specially shielded rooms with protection against low and high-frequency radiation.

No cell phone reception at Okelmann’s

The small family-run boutique hotel Okelmann’s supports you in giving up your cell phone. There is no cell phone reception. Instead, you can use the telephone in your room free of charge and, if you wish, you can connect to the WLAN in all buildings. So digital detox is effortless here.

Hiking without an app

Maria and Wolfgang, the hosts at Aufatmen, also support you in giving up your mobile device. During the guided meditation hikes and also during yoga, you leave your cell phone in the room. The Wi-Fi remains switched off at night and so that you don’t have to rely on apps when hiking, there are hiking or cross-country skiing maps printed on recycled paper. You experience nature more intensively; without selfies you store your impressions in yourself instead of pictures on your cell phone.

The Lichtnelken rooms at Berghotel Rehlegg

The Lichtnelken rooms at the hotel are specially designed for digital detox: You won’t find a TV, tablet or minibar there. In special rocking beds, you will experience an entirely new sleeping experience. Nele reported about it on our blog. Instead of watching the latest series, you can look up at the stars with a telescope; the star book makes it easy to find the individual constellations. Who needs the cell phone here?

Matterhorn instead of TV

At CERVO Mountain Resort Zermatt, you have a spectacular view of the Matterhorn, so it’s not hard to do without a TV. (If you still want to watch TV, there are portable devices). Our tip for the CERVO, enjoy the great location above the town center, the view of the Matterhorn, the nature – and turn off the cell phone.

“Always on” – decide against it on vacation! It is a decision for more mindfulness and for your health. In this sense, see you soon without cell phone in one of our green pearls!
