1001 Nights - The Sultanate of Oman

The Sultanate of Oman, located on the Arabian Peninsula, offers beautiful, multifaceted impressions of different landscapes. Experience the beauty of this country, encompassed by deserts, river beds with emerald green oases and beautiful, long, fine sandy beaches along the coast of the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman. The Rimal Al Wahiba dune region impresses with its golden sandy deserts. The capital Muscat invites you to visit the traditional souk with its colorful, traditional stalls. A visit to the imposing Sultan Quabus Mosque, named after the long-time ruler Sultan Quabus bin Said, is a must when visiting the capital.

Outdoor butler in the Engadin - Aleksandra reports on her dream job at the Carlton Hotel in St. Moritz

The "Moving Mountains" concept of The Tschuggen Collection hotel group is a wonderful program for me. It goes back to the roots of man being "one with nature". We have a very extensive range of activities at the Carlton Hotel. Many activities are offered individually for our guests. We want to create wonderful memories for our guests with the Moving Mountains concept. For example, we have "forest bathing", which takes place early in the morning before everyone else wakes up. We go into the forest depending on the time of sunrise. Today it would have been 7:38 am. It changes a little depending on the season. I like watching the first sunrise through the trees. I like to see the squirrels wake up and the birds start singing. That's an activity I really enjoy doing with the guests." Or our offer to go ice swimming in Lake St. Moritz. An activity that clears your head. Many guests often say: "No, I won't try it, it's too cold for me". But once you get over yourself, the experience is great. In that moment, the focus is only on yourself and so many happiness hormones are released in a short space of time. Most people only dare to do it for a few minutes, maybe five. Last year, we even did a photo shoot while ice swimming for fun. It was a wonderful experience. I myself go ice swimming at least once a week. It gives me a lot of energy and it simply means pure happiness - an endorphin rush!
