How to enjoy your perfect wellness day
Arrive & breathe deeply
Arrive with a cup of tea, breathe consciously, loosen the shoulder girdle. Light stretching to gently awaken the body.
Activate in the water
A few relaxing lengths in the sports pool or floating weightlessly - ideal for getting your circulation and muscles into wellness mode.
Heat phase I - start gently
Choose a herbal or organic sauna, breathe deeply, then take a lukewarm shower and relax in a relaxation lounge for 10-15 minutes.
Cool down & rest
Refresh at the natural bathing pond or Kneipp, then snuggle up and rest. Drink water and tea, replenish minerals.
Signature treatment
A massage or a personalised beauty ritual deepens relaxation, relieves tension and prolongs the effects of the sauna.
Sky moments
To the rooftop: let your gaze wander over the Ahrntal mountains in the infinity pool and whirlpool - pure head-clearing pleasure.
Heat phase II - intensive enjoyment
Event sauna with infusion for the "wow" effect. Then get some fresh air in the outdoor sauna lounge, cool down again and rest.
Floating & sensing
Alternate between the hot whirlpool and quiet relaxation zones. Read, doze, "re-sort" your body to soft music.
Indulgence & aperitivo
Light snacks, lots to drink. Later, a fine aperitivo - the perfect bridge to dinner.
End the evening
A last quiet warmth (infrared or steam bath) or a quick dip in the water. Wrap up warm and bring the day to a grateful close.
Small tips for a big impact
- 2-3 sauna sessions with a 10-15 minute break each.
- Drink plenty before and after infusions.
- After intense heat, finish with gentle warmth (herbs/infra).
- Eat lightly, enjoy weightlessly - your body will thank you.
Useful tips for a perfect sauna session
Some like it hot… With these sauna tips, we hope to guide our guests through their first sauna session and help them enjoy this experience here at Hotel Schwarzenstein in the Dolomites. There are some important rules for sauna that we recommend following to make it a pleasurable and safe experience.
- Before starting a sauna session, please shower and dry thoroughly. Then, your first sauna experience may begin!
- Sit or lie down on a towel – if possible, with your legs raised.
- Have a healthy sweat and enjoy your sauna session! Once you are done, stand up slowly and go outdoors.
- Take a deep breath of fresh air. This way you can cool off your airways!
- Now it’s time to shower! Start by setting the water temperature to lukewarm and gradually proceed to colder temperatures. Use the overhead or dousing shower, the lateral shower heads or the rain shower.
- If you wish, you can rub your body with crushed ice from the Ice lion.
- Rest and relax for ca. 15 minutes. We highly recommend that you keep your legs raised.
- Depending on how you feel, you can repeat the sauna session twice to three times.
