(Hong Kong, November 12, 2008) – Trendsetting new Swiss lifestyle destination Post Hotel Weggis is offering a three-night festive experience including a dawn sailing on Lake Lucerne and adventure into the alpine snow.

The x-mas@POHO package is designed to showcase the 45-room boutique retreat nicknamed POHO, which combines "cool design with pure pleasure" targeting the 20-45 age group with the promise of "chilling-out in style".

Amid breathtaking alpine scenery, it is on offer between December 23 – 30 priced at CHF 1,299 for couples and CHF 799 for singles.

The festive package also includes daily buffet breakfast plus nightly dinners -- two at the avant garde POHO Dining Lounge and one at the rustic Weggiser Stübli, in a converted 125-year-old ancestral gallery.

The early morning outing on Lake Lucerne is on board a romantic solar-catamaran, with hot mulled wine, a traditional spiced drink served to warm guests against the frosty winter chill.

A second outing is to the summit of nearby Mount Rigi, high up in the alpine snowfields.

The package also includes free access to the POHO Gym & Spa and free rental of DVDs and PS3 games.
