Which room for your fasting week: From chambers to cabin towers
How choosing the right room shapes your fasting week – from the minimalist "Kammerl" to a hillside cabin tower.

At Tannerhof, choosing your room is a meaningful decision, not just a matter of price. From the simple "Kammerl" to our cabin towers, air huts, and the rooms in the Old and New Tann, every guest fasting with us will find the perfect setting for their retreat.
The essentials at a glance
- A conscious retreat in the "Kammerl": In just eleven square meters, the mind focuses entirely on the essentials and inner reflection.
- Hillside cabin towers and air huts offer an absolute connection to nature – completely free from the distractions of Wi-Fi and television.
- Choosing your room is a meaningful decision: it defines the physical and mental framework for your Body Detox fasting retreat.
- A low-stimulus environment deepens the experience by minimizing distractions and encouraging inner arrival.
The conscious retreat: The minimalist "Kammerl"
Choosing to fast is a choice to let go. At the Tannerhof nature hotel, we see the choice of room not as a mere price consideration, but as a meaningful decision that actively shapes your personal path of retreat. The spaces we inhabit influence our thoughts, especially during phases of physical and mental cleansing. If you want to radically shed the baggage of everyday life, the "Kammerl" in the New Tann offers the purest setting for this healing process.
At just eleven square meters, the Kammerl reduces living to the essentials. Here, you won't find loud decor, but rather fine, tactile materials, warm wood, and a focused silence. A comfortable bed, a table, a chair, an armchair, and just enough space for a single suitcase—nothing more is needed to feel your way back to your center. This radical simplicity frees the mind from constant consumption and supports deep physical regeneration during your fast.
- Consistent reduction to eleven square meters of living space in the New Tann
- Simple, honest furnishings with a bed, table, chair, armchair, and space for a suitcase
- Conscious omission of a television in the room to allow the mind to find rest
- Available with either a small private wooden terrace or a cozy wooden balcony
This conscious simplicity is not a painful sacrifice, but a deep sigh of relief for an overstimulated nervous system. Without the usual visual distractions, the small room becomes a protective cocoon that naturally deepens the effect of our Body Detox fasting program. When you close the door behind you, you leave the outside world behind and enter a space that belongs entirely to your own being.
Retreat on the hillside: Cabin towers and air huts
Choosing the right room for your Body Detox fast is about much more than just your budget. It forms the foundation for your personal journey of regeneration. On the wooded slope above our historic ensemble lie two categories that will intensely support your time away: our modern cabin towers and our historic air huts.
Our four cabin towers, designed in 2011 by architect Florian Nagler, rise gently from the mountain meadows. Their construction follows our deep respect for the landscape: verticality instead of surface sealing, built from fragrant solid wood and local larch shingles. Inside, you are enveloped in pure clarity across three levels. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open up views across the wide valley, while your own private outdoor area connects you directly to the rustling of the forest.
Just a few meters further, you can breathe in living history. Our five air huts dating back to our founding year of 1905 are the cradle of the Tannerhof fasting tradition. Designed as single or double huts, their private verandas offer that untouched, rustic character that once inspired and grounded the pioneers of the life reform movement.
Both categories demand and grant freedom in equal measure. Since they are located on a hillside, short inclines are part of daily life: a natural, healthy way to activate your heart and circulation when walking to meals or treatments. Furthermore, we follow a conscious principle of analog retreat here: we deliberately do not provide Wi-Fi or televisions in the huts and towers. While some see this as the epitome of a restful digital break, others may find it a deal-breaker. We value both perspectives, but those who embrace this freedom often find the very silence in which fasting truly unfolds.

| Accommodation | Character & Location | Suitability for those fasting |
|---|---|---|
| Hut Towers | Modern wooden architecture on three levels, 26 m², expansive valley view. | For those seeking timeless aesthetics and the cozy security of a wooden refuge on the hillside. |
| Air Huts | Historic wooden huts from 1905, 16–22 m², private veranda, near the forest. | Perfect for traditionalists who want to feel nature directly and desire a radical retreat. |
Alte Tann, Neue Tann, Baumallee: Rooms with a story
Choosing your room for a conscious getaway at the Tannerhof is about much more than just price. It is about which space best supports your individual path of retreat during our Body Detox fasting program. Whether it is historic timber framing or vibrant colors, every building on our spacious grounds supports your personal regeneration in its own unique way.
The heart of our ensemble is the Alte Tann, a venerable 17th-century farmhouse. Here you will find Alm rooms, which radiate a deep, grounding calm with their reclaimed wood floors, soft linen curtains, and rustic balcony galleries. A conscious counterpoint to this is the Neue Tann, our charming turn-of-the-century house. The Mountain & Lake rooms there feature a cheerful play of colors on the walls, fine oak parquet, and lovingly selected farmhouse furniture that brightens the inner perspective.
Those looking for a fine balance between retro charm and modern comfort will find it above the Orangerie in the stylish Baumallee rooms. Named after native tree species like spruce or beech, these rooms impress with a unique design flair featuring colorful Missoni textiles and vintage designer armchairs. From the spacious west-facing balconies, a wide view opens up over the Leitzach Valley in the evening, allowing the day to come to a peaceful close.
- Alm rooms in the Alte Tann provide a sense of permanence with their historic reclaimed wood floors and the rustic coziness of a centuries-old farmhouse.
- Mountain & Lake rooms in the Neue Tann offer a bright, inspiring living experience through natural oak parquet floors and a clear, colorful design.
- Baumallee rooms combine stylish retro design on two levels with a west-facing balcony for relaxing evenings in the mild light of the valley.

Paths, nature, and conscious disconnection: criteria for those fasting
The retreat begins in the mind, but it finds its concrete place within your own four walls. Those who choose the Body Detox fasting program do not select their accommodation based on status, but on resonance. Experience from our fasting practice shows the deep power of this reduction: in a low-stimulus, protected environment, feelings of hunger often subside more quickly as the body and mind come to rest. In this way, the architecture becomes a therapeutic companion for your inner process of clarification.
This decision depends entirely on your personal needs. While some guests prefer to avoid the physical exertion of longer paths on the hillside and opt for short walks to the therapy rooms in the main buildings, others seek deliberate seclusion. This also includes the topic of connectivity. In our cabins and cabin towers, we intentionally forgo Wi-Fi, LAN, and televisions as standard. What is a valuable gift of digital detox for some is an obstacle for others. We respect both preferences equally.
- Physical terrain: Do you prefer short, level paths between meals and treatments, or do you appreciate a short climb up the hillside as a way to get moving first thing in the morning?
- Connectivity and focus: Would you like to use a discreet Wi-Fi connection in the historic main buildings, or are you looking for the radical, screen-free simplicity of the great outdoors?
- The booking process: At the Tannerhof nature hotel, you always book your room and your desired health program as two separate components. You can customize your personal getaway on our Tannerhof room overview page and our program pages.
