Culinary Nutritionist & Innovation Chef 80-100%
CERENEO PREVENTION operates a center for neuroprevention and longevity.

Our location in Vitznau is a unique ecosystem for health. Situated on the shores of Lake Lucerne at the foot of Mount Rigi, we offer our guests prevention programs tailored to their individual needs. Through these programs, we support them in developing healthy habits in the areas of nutrition, exercise, sleep, and recovery that can be integrated into daily life in an enjoyable and sustainable way.
