Pine Sauna
An interplay that works wonders
Swiss pine is a traditional wood native to the Alps, containing high levels of essential oils. The temperature in the Pine Sauna is in the range of 85 - 95° C, whilst the highlight of the session is an infusion with fresh water. The interplay of heat followed by a cool-down strengthens the cardiovascular and immune systems, and reenergizes. The infusion provides soothing relaxation, calms and gives you renewed strength.
Infrared Heat Cabin
Relaxation meets pain relief
Infrared deep-heat is a natural source of energy. The infrared radiation penetrates the various layers of skin evenly, to a depth of around five centimeters. Temperatures are between 40 and 50° C with low humidity.
Steam Bath & Brine Grotto
Power of water, fire and salt
The steam bath, with a temperature of around 45° C, has always been popular. Even the Ancient Greeks and Romans understood the beneficial effects of time spent in the hot water vapor. Tip: Refresh your skin with regular peels . infusion schedule
The brine steam bath (43 - 46° C) also has a long tradition. Warmth and high humidity strengthen the immune system, stimulate blood circulation and activate the body's own self-healing powers. The effects of the steam are further intensified by the addition of brine, penetrating deep into the skin - cleansing the skin and making it silky soft.
Starlight Sauna
Harmony for body & mind
The Sanarium offers a gloriously comfortable atmosphere. The temperature of 50 - 60° C is very high, though not hot. The humidity of no more than 55% creates a gentler climate. Alternation between heat and cooling strengthens the immune system, reenergizes and stimulates the metabolism. The skin is detoxified. Colored lights provide added harmony.
Glacier Ice Lounge
Refreshment for the senses
In the Glacier Ice Lounge, cooling off becomes an experience for all of the senses. The cool room temperature is a refreshing contrast for the skin right after a sauna session. By rubbing yourself down with the "Glacier Ice" which is constantly created right there before your eyes, you will give your cardiovascular system a real "jumpstart". The fragrance of icy mint refreshes the respiratory passages. Fascinating video presentations whisk you away to crispy-cold worlds.

The Water Bar is located in the middle of Sauna World at Alpentherme Gastein. Quench your thirst after a sauna session with chilled water, soda water or lukewarm water.
