Leider nicht viel Hintergrundinfo...
Aus einer Touristenbroschüre über einen Ort in den Alpen: Mildes ***Reizklima*** - das tut gut!
Dann kommt nur noch Information über Infrastruktur etc.

: Tho' I'd prefer "mild and bracing" // I see what you mean, but I agree with Kenneth that mildly bracing sounds rather wishy washy. Maybe it's mild in summer, but bracing when the elements really get going?

Thanks Claire; but don't they tend to contradict each other?

: Klima, das therapeutisch nutzbare Reizfaktoren enthält, z.B. eine erhöhte Abkühlungsgröße mit ausgeprägten Intensitätsschwankungen, erhöhte Intensität der Global- u. UV-Strahlung, verringerter Sauerstoffpartialdruck, verstärkte Tages- u. Jahresschwankunge

Ken Cox
: To my ear, 'mildly bracing' is rather faint praise (like 'mildly attractive' -- i.e., nothing special)

mmm, yes, true, but it's also a way of ensuring that those who cannot take too much invigoration (or bracing!) are not frightened off...Otherwise, we send them to Skegness!!!!

A gently invigorating climate
—feels sooo good!

Lori Dendy-Molz
: Maybe combine the two answers for "mildly invigorating." Somehow "bracing" makes me think of aftershave.

Ken Cox
: The perfect tone for a PR text, and it sounds much closer to the original meaning -- it's not a 'mild reizendes Klima', but a 'mildes Reizklima' -- see Kathi's explanation.
