About
According to the operator, Eisbadi Arosa is the first public sauna in Arosa and the first ice-bathing spot in Switzerland and all of Europe. It stands at Lake Untersee, and in winter everything there revolves around ice bathing and sauna.
The 90 °C Finnish sauna holds up to 8 people and comes with a natural bathing spot in the lake and a rest room. The sauna can be booked as a public session or entirely for yourself; sauna guests enter the ice hole free of charge. It is run by the association Verein Eisbadi Arosa.
