Bright rooms, sunny moments, spacious panoramic glazing and views of the Gastein mountains. In our sauna world, not only your body but also your mind finds new energy.
Finnish sauna & infrared sauna
Saunas at Sonngastein
The world feels different after a sauna session. Lighter. Calmer. Clearer. The Finnish sauna at Sonngastein offers evenly intense heat and an authentic sauna experience with an automatic infusion system. The spacious infrared sauna, made from fine woods, has a gentle, soothing effect on the muscles and helps the mind unwind. Both saunas are available to you daily.
Warmth in another form
Designer steam bath
Anyone who has ever sat in a good steam bath knows: it is a world of its own. Moist, gentle warmth envelops the body and clears the airways. The designer steam bath at Sonngastein has an elegant black design and is also available to you daily.
More relaxation areas in the Water World
Peace by the water
On the sheltered sun terrace above the outdoor pools, the sun follows you from morning until late afternoon. The perfect setting to stretch out, enjoy a coffee, read or simply do nothing. The light-filled winter garden by the thermal indoor pool opens up views of the Hohe Tauern and creates a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. Find your favourite spot – and stay as long as you like.

Twice a week, a special family period allows younger children to discover the sauna world together with their accompanying adults.

The family sauna session takes place every Sunday and Thursday from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm.
During this period, children under 14 may also use the sauna world together with their parents or other accompanying adults.
The accompanying adults remain responsible for supervision. Children should be introduced gradually and in an age-appropriate way to heat, cooling and relaxation periods.
Is use of the sauna world included in the stay?
Yes. Overnight guests can use the entire sauna world as part of the room rate.
This includes the Finnish sauna, infrared sauna, design steam bath, experience showers and the associated relaxation rooms.
Massages, beauty treatments and thermal-water baths are not included and are booked and charged separately.
