Health and well-being
Give yourself a treat
Sonnenburg’s spa oasis is the perfect place to rest and recover, especially after a long day’s skiing, when our guests can relax and recharge both body and mind in our spa area.
The Hoch family has thought of everything to ensure your comfort. You will find it easy to relax in the soothing atmosphere. Our guests have various possibilities to choose from, such as the swimming pool, the fitness centre, and the sauna. Our steam bath massage centre is also ideal for relaxation after a day of activity. Cool down after the sauna in our ‘Mist Cave’ with simulated fine rain.
Release tension and stress
As an alternative to a day’s skiing, we can also offer guests an individually tailored spa programme lasting several hours. Our varied health and beauty programme is perfectly designed for your personal well-being.
Select your personal daily programme. The following facilities are freely available:
- Swimming pool
- Fitness-Center
- Sauna (and separate Ladies' Sauna)
Sauna
More than ever, the pressures of daily life leave us crying out for balance. But muscle training alone is often not enough. The mind also needs to relax and recharge itself with fresh energy. Our traditional sauna allows for full relaxation of both body and mind.
- Steam bath
Steam bath
The benefits of high humidity and gentle heat were already known in ancient Rome and used in Caldariums (Roman steam baths). The feeling of well-being in both body and mind is further increased by adding perfumes or herbal extracts to the steam, which detoxifies the body, clears the breathing organs and gives vitality to skin and hair.
- Misty Grotto
Misty Grotto
The cold water pool in the ‘Mist Cave’ is just what you need after the sauna. Small pebbles in the pool provide an agreeable foot massage. For guests with poor circulation, we also have a gentle cooling option with spray jets from the ceiling of the grotto.
- Hay bath
Hay bath
Our special hay bath is the optimal bath to relieve and strengthen the immune system. By making mountain pasture hay warm and slightly damp, its active ingredients are gradually released. The special seats in the hay bath are designed for the best effects on the shoulders, neck and back.

NEW since 2010/11: ice grotto
After heating your body in the sauna or steam bath, you need to cool it down again. For this purpose we have designed an ice grotto for you.
The ice grotto also includes an ice fountain, where you can give yourself icy refreshments.
The ice activates the reactive hyperthermia in the body. This method was used in the past in the form of snow rubs. Due to brief exposure to the cold, the blood circulation is stimulated (a similar effect to that observed when you briefly put your hand in the snow in winter, after which your hand is still warm with good circulation).
By using this method the metabolism is activated. The body is encouraged to become “active“.
