A world-renowned Swiss clinic has been given its second prestigious accolade of 2006 following a win at The European Spa Awards in Monaco. Clinique La Prairie, situated in Montreux on the shores of Lake Geneva, was awarded the title of Best European Medical Spa on Saturday just a month after being named the ‘world’s best medical spa’ by a leading UK newspaper.
The awards took place as part of the second edition of the European Spa Exhibition from 21st -23rd January, at which major international professionals from the medical, wellbeing and spa industries were gathered.
Organisers said the awards rewarded the best achievements in these fields throughout the world with announcements of the winners taking place at a gala dinner at The Hotel Paris in Monaco.

Lighted underground passages connect all buildings within the complex, making it possible for patients to travel inconspicuously to check-ups and appointments in their robes and slippers.
Clinique La Prairie is best known for its unique Revitalisation cellular therapy, which is based on two injections that boost energy levels and strengthen the immune system.
