Sauna World Enjoy hot shows & relaxing infusions
Pleasantly warm or invigoratingly hot – with 12 different sauna chambers in Sauna World to choose from, everyone is certain to find their own favorite place. And as a special highlight: daily infusions in the Cascadia – where our sauna attendants will astonish you with their expertise and artistry. Infusions also become a form of aroma therapy, integrating pure essential oils as well as blends of natural herbs and incense. After a good healthy sweat, it will be time to cool off under the dousing shower, in the Glacier Ice Lounge or in the marvelous Crystal Lake.
Spacious quiet rooms and a room with waterbeds provide ample opportunity to unwind between your sauna sessions. The free Water Bar is available to quench your thirst, or treat yourself to a refreshing drink and a small snack in the sauna bar.
Incidentally:
In Ladies World, women are able to sauna completely to themselves :)

Discover the Cascadia Event Sauna, where saunas become memorable experiences.
What brings Bob Marley, Elvis Presley, Egyptian pharaohs and Captain Jack Sparrow to a spacious sauna chamber with spaces for up to 60 people? A show, of course.
Special Infusions & Show Infusions
Our sauna attendants regularly slip into costumes as they host show infusions with enthralling lighting effects, fascinating towel-twirling techniques and atmospheric music.
For those who prefer things a little mellower, we also offer extraordinarily peaceful infusions, even with singing bowls as an accompaniment from time to time. For the ideal fragrance experience, we use a perfect blend of essential oils and incense mixtures.

Tips for greater comfort during your sauna session
- Prior to entering the sauna, take a shower and dry off well.
- A sauna session shouldn't last more than 15 minutes. Tip for beginners: Slowly increase the length of time you spend in the sauna.
- Upon leaving the sauna, ideally go out into the fresh air, cool off completely, e.g. using a hose or under the shower, or rub ice on your body in the Glacier Ice Lounge. You will absolutely need to take a shower before entering pools or thermal lakes.
- Replenish lost fluids by drinking mineral water or fruit juices – refreshments are available at the Water Bar (Tip: Bring your own drinks bottle or buy one from the sauna attendant) or pay a visit to the Sauna Bar.
- Afterwards, enjoy a phase of peaceful relaxation in our quiet rooms or in the sauna garden, perhaps browsing the infusion schedule for the next infusion you would like to attend.
