Your private sauna
New at Venostis: a sauna just for you – never shared with other guests and at no extra charge. Here is our little guide to sauna etiquette and how to get the most out of it. The sauna runs daily from 5 pm to 9 pm (17:00–21:00) and is yours to use freely during that time.
How it works
Step by step: the perfect sauna session
A few simple rules make all the difference – for relaxation, for your circulation and for a good night’s sleep.
Prepare
Don’t go in on an empty or a full stomach – ideally 1–2 hours after a light meal. Take off jewellery, your watch and glasses.
Shower and dry off
Take a warm shower first and dry yourself thoroughly: dry skin starts sweating sooner.
Sweat
8–15 minutes per round. Lie down or sit with your feet up so your whole body warms evenly. Listen to your body and leave as soon as you feel uncomfortable. Sit upright for the last 1–2 minutes so your circulation can adjust.
Cool down
First a few minutes of fresh air – your terrace with mountain views is perfect for this. Then a cold shower in the bathroom, always starting at the feet and moving towards the heart.
Rest
Lie down for at least 15–20 minutes, wrap up warmly and let your body come to rest.
Repeat
2–3 rounds are ideal. Drink water or herbal tea between rounds and afterwards – no alcohol.
Etiquette
The little sauna etiquette
Even in your own private sauna, a few classic rules keep it hygienic, safe and pleasant – for you and for the next guests.
- A towel under your whole body – including your feet. No sweat on the wood.
- This is a nude sauna: no swimwear – but always with a towel underneath you.
- Keep it calm and quiet – the sauna is a place to switch off.
- No creams, oils or perfume before the sauna.
- The sauna may only be used from the age of 16.
- A timer switches the sauna on and off automatically – you don’t need to do anything. After your last round, open the air vent (outlet) further so the sauna can dry out, close the door and take your towels with you.
Timing
When it does you the most good
Saunas are good for you at any time – but these moments get the most out of it.
In the evening
The best time for most people: after a day outdoors, finish your last round about 1–2 hours before bed. Your body temperature then drops, which helps you fall asleep.
After activity
After skiing, ski touring, hiking or biking, the heat relaxes tired muscles. Have a drink and a short rest first, then into the sauna.
Regularly
The effect builds up: 1–3 sauna days a week train your body and circulation far better than a single long session.
In the cold season
Especially in autumn and winter, regular saunas help your body get used to changes in temperature.
Benefits
What the sauna does for you
Heat, cold and rest – the classic sauna cycle has been valued for centuries, and studies confirm many of its effects.
Deep relaxation
Stress hormones drop and your mind switches off.
Better sleep
An evening sauna often helps you fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply.
Trained blood vessels
Switching between heat and cold trains your blood vessels and circulation.
Stronger defences
Studies show that people who use a sauna regularly catch fewer colds.
Relaxed muscles
The heat boosts blood flow and eases tension after sport.
Healthy skin
Sweating cleanses the pores and improves blood flow to the skin.
