Alpine Dry Sauna
Finnish-style cedar room with tiered benches and a soapstone heater. Temperature runs 80–90°C (176–194°F) with low humidity. Fits eight; hourly sessions on the half-hour.
Heat, steam, and creek-cold water.
Sauna & Thermal
The wellness wing sits behind the lodge, separated from guest rooms by a moss path and a wall of stacked stone. Cedar scent, low light, and the sound of the plunge spring — built for recovery after mountain walks or long drives up the valley.
Three Thermal Spaces
Cedar Steam House
Soft steam at 45–55°C (113–131°F) infused with eucalyptus on request. Benches in a circular layout; ceiling drips condensation that smells of resin.
Cold Plunge Spring
Spring-fed basin at 8°C (46°F), stone-lined, three steps deep. Outdoor access from both sauna rooms via a covered walkway — robes and sandals provided.

First-time visitors often push the heat too hard on the opening round. Start shorter than you think you should, sit on the lower bench, and leave the moment the warmth stops feeling pleasant. The circuit works through repetition rather than endurance, and there is no benefit to staying in longer than your body wants.
