Spa

The Finnish sauna, offering a splendid panoramic view, is entirely clad with Swiss pine wood. An aufguss on heated stones produces very high temperatures in the Finnish sauna. In general, they are between 85 and 90°C; the humidity is 10%. The heat is followed by a cooling off in the cold pool or under the ice rain shower. A resting phase is followed by another sauna visit. 

In the bio-sauna, temperatures are lower than in the classic (Finnish) sauna, usually about 50-60° with a humidity of about 50%. The bio-sauna is considered to be gentler on the circulation, and the length of stay is usually longer than in the normal sauna, at around 10-15 minutes.

Like a sauna visit, a steam bath strengthens the immune system, cleanses the skin and is excellent for asthma patients. Unlike the sauna, a steam room is not built of wood, but mostly out of solid rock. The air temperature in the steam bath is 45-50°C with a humidity of 100%.

In the shower zone, you can choose between different applications. Others prefer tropical rain with aromatic fragrance and special effects lighting. For those who prefer a traditional shower, other cabins are available with a variety of nozzles.

The cold water basin provides the necessary cooling after a sauna visit. Caution: at 10°C, the cold water basin is very cold. Daredevils take a quick shower under the waterfall.
 

Guests like to linger in the 32°C heated pool. Fine nozzles make for a gentle massage of arms, legs and back.

Treading water, also known as Kneipp, is a hydrotherapy treatment method developed by Sebastian Kneipp. In Bellavita Spa, guests wade on stones in a Kneipp spiral. The practice involves one leg always remaining completely out of the water, and the toes bent slightly downwards – the so-called “stork walk”. After approximately 30 seconds, you feel an intense cold sensation in the feet and lower legs. After this,  you briefly exit the cold water to warm your feet again.
