Which sauna is best?
At Pfösl, one of the best spa hotels in the Italian Alps, we are devoted entirely to nature-inspired wellness. In our eight different saunas you will not only be strengthened by the power of heat and steam, but also by the precious essences of our herbs: mountain pine, chamomile, lemon balm, lavender, thyme and hay infuse our saunas, offering a wide range of benefits for both body and mind. Take a break in our spa in Italy!
The naturaspa
Our naturaspa wellness area, spanning 2,000 m² across indoor and outdoor spaces, is part of the Pfösl regeneration 360° concept.
Nestled within an almost boundless natural landscape are our 25-metre panoramic saltwater infinity pool (35°C), the refreshing natural biopool, a natural pond rich in alpine plants, and a hot whirlpool with views of the Dolomites. You can also experience the power of water in the new plunge pool and along the various watercourses.
For rest and regeneration, our garden landscape with alpine plants and fragrant herbs, along with spacious relaxation areas and quiet retreats indoors overlooking the Dolomites, invite you to unwind.
Which sauna is best? 8 unique experiences
Pinus
70-80 °C, 15%
The Pinus combines the effects of intense heat with the essential oils of mountain pine. The invigorating, woody scent relieves stress and clears the airways – ideal after active days in nature or for consciously unwinding.
Lavender
65 °C, 45%
Lavender has a deeply relaxing and calming effect in this gentle sauna with moderate temperature and humidity. It relieves stress and tension and prepares you for a better night’s sleep.
Salt-Lemon balm
45 °C, 95%
The salt and lemon balm steam bath exudes freshness and lightness – like a soothing walk along the coast. The mineral-rich, saline air supports deep, steady breathing, while lemon balm gently relaxes and restores balance.
Chamomile
50 °C
The gentle temperature in our chamomile sauna is particularly kind to the circulation. The soft, floral scent has a balancing effect and promotes a sense of calm – ideal for a gentle introduction to the sauna or as a soothing alternative.
Thyme
45 °C, 95%
Thyme is known for its rich, aromatic scent, which has an invigorating effect without being overstimulating. We recommend visiting this steam bath when you are tired or after physical activity for gentle regeneration.
Fienile
45°
In South Tyrol, fienile refers to a hay barn where valuable dried grasses are stored. The scent of alpine meadows in the hay sauna instantly evokes a sense of comfort and calm. The moderate temperature makes this sauna suitable for everyone.
The Ritual
90 °C, 10%
This is our classic Finnish sauna, with the highest temperature and low humidity. Enjoy the view of our alpine meadows and the forest while taking in the varied sauna infusions.
Pfösl's natural sauna in the forest
If asked which sauna is best, many would choose the natural sauna. Experience our handcrafted sauna right on the edge of the forest. Nestled in the darkness of a willow dome wrapped in blankets, you sit directly on the earth. The scent of the herbs, which glitter and glow on the hot stones, and the hissing steam envelop you and make you sweat. Accompanied by lively sounds and songs, this extraordinary wellness experience awakens all the senses.
