5 tips for a healthy, relaxing sauna visit
4 October 2021
Are you looking for a place to relax in Tyrol? Then a break in the mountains with a healthy sauna visit is just the thing for you. Whatever your heart desires, whether as recovery after sport or simply as relaxation on cold days! We have put together a little guide for you that helps you find the right spa area and also explains why a sauna is such a special treat for body and soul.
5 tips for a relaxed sauna visit in the mountains
1. Health and wellness
That a sauna is good for wellbeing and the soul is no modern whim. More than 1,500 years ago people in Finland and the north of East Asia knew about its beneficial effect. In the Roman Empire, too, recovery through hot air was cultivated. The so-called Finnish sauna, at up to 100 degrees Celsius, is ideal for it!
2. Warmth for the body
In the sauna the skin surface and core body temperature rise, and the body reacts as it would to a mild fever.
3. Recovery after sport in the mountains
Sports enthusiasts and a spa area… You are probably wondering how on earth those go together? The answer is simple: a spa area offers plenty of ways to recover after sport. Be it the infrared cabin, where muscles and joints are gently warmed, or a soothing sauna infusion that helps prevent sore muscles or can even ease strains.
So exactly the right thing after an active day on foot, on the mountain bike or after a long day in the snow in the mountains. Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis offers summer and winter lovers a comprehensive alpine range of sporting activities, which is why it mattered to us at the GEBHARD to offer an ideally equipped spa area for recovery afterwards.
4. A restful holiday
But if you are simply looking for rest after a hard working week and want to treat yourself to a special break in the mountains, a hotel with a spa area is a special luxury, like our Hotel Gebhard, for example. And it is not only old sauna hands who get their money's worth with us.
For sauna newcomers, or if the hot Finnish sauna is simply a little too extreme for you, our organic herbal sauna is the perfect alternative we can offer you. At a pleasant 60 degrees Celsius, with natural herbs and a break in the quiet room afterwards, the relaxing sauna visit is rounded off. Everyday worries are soon forgotten!
5. Spa in Serfaus Fiss Ladis
A well-equipped spa area ideally also offers the chance to visit the steam bath. The high humidity and heady oils and scents have a cleansing effect not only on airways and pores, but above all on the soul. When calming music and relaxed lighting join in, everything comes together. The relaxing ambience mattered a great deal to us at Hotel Gebhard.
How about a short daydream? You have just had an active day full of fun on the snow-covered pistes of Tyrol. Your muscles are tired from all the movement and you are starting to feel a little cold now that the day is drawing to a close. The bright blue sky is turning into early evening. But you still have a good window before a delicious dinner. What now? Then you remember that your hotel also has a spa area for relaxing and recovering. Quickly into the fluffy bathrobe and you can let your soul unwind.
Did you enjoy that little mental excursion? If you would like to turn the thought experiment into reality, we at Hotel Gebhard very much look forward to your visit.
