Ice Bathing in the Natural Lake
Dive cooly into your relaxation
Do you love the rush of adrenaline and the feeling of letting go? Are you looking for a new experience that revitalizes body and mind in a unique way? Then you should definitely try ice bathing in our unheated, ice-free natural lake at the Crystal & GardenSPA!
Benefits of Ice Bathing
The dance of the endorphins
At first glance, ice bathing may seem like a dare, but the benefits for body and mind are many. The cold water stimulates circulation, strengthens the immune system, and boosts the release of endorphins that create feelings of euphoria and overall well-being.
Beyond that, ice bathing enhances the body’s ability to handle stress, improves focus on breathing, and helps you relax more deeply. Although it means pure stress for the body, ice bathing leads to immense relaxation – fascinating, isn’t it?
A Fresh Date with Nature
Ice bathing is far more than just a trend.
The very first winter with our emerald-green natural lake was special. We had no idea how the water would behave without additives. Ice bathing hadn’t even crossed our minds – until guests asked if they could break a hole in the ice sheet to plunge in. That’s when it became clear: they wanted to dive into the icy water.
Of course, we agreed. After all, ice bathing isn’t just a trend – it encourages people to test their limits, enhance their well-being, boost health, and gift themselves with a revitalizing experience.
The Preparation
Breathe in, breathe out, let go
Before you dare to plunge into the ice-cold water, thorough preparation is essential. Start with a warm-up ritual to loosen your muscles and ready your body for the challenge. Many of our guests first visit the panoramic sauna and then step into the natural lake.
Take a few deep breaths before ice bathing to relax and clear your mind. Wear swimwear that keeps you comfortable, then enter the water entirely at your own pace.
The Ice Bath
Immerse and submerge
The moment you feel the icy water around you, you’ll encounter an extraordinary sensory experience. Ice bathing can be both challenging and incredibly refreshing – each time a little different. Pay attention to how your body reacts and only go as far as feels right for you.
Breathe deeply and calmly as you embrace the cold and let it invigorate you. Focus completely on yourself, perhaps push your limits just a little, and enjoy this incomparable feeling.
The warmth afterward
Beautifully relaxed and cozy
Once you’ve enjoyed your ice bath, your well-deserved downtime awaits at Hotel Gassner. Relax in our stylish relaxation room, take a nap, enjoy an infrared treatment, or let the colorful play of lights in the indoor pool with whirlpool deepen your relaxation.
Feel how the warmth slowly returns after ice bathing, spreading satisfaction, lightness, and well-being through your body.
Our Conclusion:
