Alpine Sauna Village

ALPINE SAUNA VILLAGE

Finnish sauna

Due to the paintwork of the indoor thermal pool, it is clear to all of us that the Sauna Land is the entrance to a new world. The eye-catching picturesque of an alpine village hides the Finnish saunas.It’s unique and extraordinary at the same time. Two Finnish saunas with different temperatures, an infra sauna decorated with salt bricks, a bio sauna, a steam room cabin are all accessible for our guests. The breathing space has the exit to the veranda of a bigger outdoor sauna.

The sauna has both preventive and complementary functions in our lives.

It’s a place to find peace of mind, relaxation and contentment (especially in winter months). In other words, a way to deal with daily stress with a smile on your face and a spring in your step.

Some of the other benefits associated with saunas and steam baths include:

• Blood vessels become more flexible and there is increased circulation to the extremities. During a sauna, blood flow to the skin increases to as high as 50-70% of cardiac output (compared to the standard 5-10%). This brings nutrients to subcutaneous and surface tissue resulting in glowing healthy skin.
• Relief from the pain and stiffness of arthritis.
• Steam is an excellent treatment for respiratory problems, such as chest congestion, bronchitis, laryngitis and sinusitis.
• Revives tired and strained muscles after physical exertion.
• The cleansing effect of profuse perspiration helps provide healthy skin and a clear complexion.

The temperatures are 80-85 degree Centigrade and 95-100 degree Centigrade.

Steam bath

It has the benefits mentioned before (but with lower temperature 45-50 degree Centigrade and 100% steam content), it helps us maintaining our health and beauty. Steam baths also induce sweating to provide a comprehensive cleansing of the skin and sweat glands. Skin is the largest organ in the body and 30% of body wastes are passed through the skin.  Profuse sweating enhances the detoxifying capacity of the skin by opening pores and flushing impurities from the body.
