Vitalia - the wellness oasis for all senses in the alpine residence

Alternating hot and cold baths.

The history of the saunas is a very old one.

Already long time ago people bathed in rooms in which they also had hot stones which were sprinkled with water again and again. Already then people knew about the wellness effects of warmth and steam. The temperatures of 60° C to 90° C are typical for the Sauna so that we are able to keep the air dry which is necessary that our sweat can evaporate. This evaporation cools your body and ensures that the skin does not get too hot. A speciality offered is the "Saunaaufguss" (pouring of water onto the hot stones to create steam) which creates an additional heat attraction. However, this oes not last for long and you have to cool down your body abruptly. In the alpine residence Ballunspitze the starry grotto is the best place to enjoy the "Aufguss" This repeated sequence of heating and cooling down is called "Saunagang". You have to repeat this at least once!

There is first of all the "alm" herbal steam bath with its broad starry sky and the strengthening effect for the immune system and caring effects for skin and hair. And secondly the classical herbal steam bath.
In both baths - or Laconia as the Romans called it - you can enjoy a pleasant heat of 42° C to 45° C which is particularly good for the respiratory organs and which also support the purification of your body.

All this is introduced very harmoniously by the slow heating up of the body. Particularly if the classical sauna is too hot, you should try the steam baths in the alpine residence Ballunspitze. Enjoy the steam baths for about an hour and then you can either have a hot or cold shower. Whatever you decide to do you will feel a revitalising tingling on your body. Do not forget to lead the water jet from the outermost part of the body to your heart! Thus your blood circulation and purifying process are accelerated. In the steam baths in our Vitalia these effects are supported by special herbs from our meadows and by natural substances. You will feel totally renewed.

The water bubbles have affects on your muscles and reduce head and neck pain. We offer you a hot whirlpool in the middle of the Vitalia. As soon as you feel really warm your body starts regenerating.

Our Vitalia stands for vitality and naturally for relaxing, wellness and joy. The starry grotto is an essential part in our wellness area. It is a tingling experience in a very special way.

After having enjoyed the sauna, after purifying, nice smelling steam baths in the Laconium or after being in the whirlpool the grotto offers you an inspiring room where your body can cool down and you blood circulation can accelerate.

It is so simple to react to stress and a weak immune system.

The united strength of the mountain herbs supports a relaxing effect and helps the blood circulation.

Gentle steams in our "Heukraxenbad" (hay bath) and the fresh smell strengthen and animate the body. Cramps and tenseness are relaxed and rheumatic pain weakened. The "Heukraxenbad" in our Vitalia is pure alpine recovery! You will see…

This precious water does not only taste special but it is also softer than the normal water and supplies the body with important energy.
