AusZeit - das Sauna-Bergdorf

Excellent authentic Austrian sauna village with lots of different ways and areas to relax. Multiple sauna places designed in the very artistic and special way. Each has a skin care or tasting shows every hour. Basically your can be entertained the entire day. Everything is clean and in a excellent shape. If you like sauna this is the place to go. The sauna shows supplied with excellent performance full of humor, but you have to speak German. One improvement would be to ban the smoking in the public places.It is very annoying and disturbing if you are not smoker. This is the well known long term pending issue in Austria.

Saunas: lots of saunas, all but one of them "soft" saunas (mild temperatures of between 55 and 85 degrees). Only one proper sauna (95-100 degrees) which is pretty decent. A few of the saunas are led by staff, though only once per hour for each sauna, and you will have to queue for about 10-15 minutes even on a quiet day to be guaranteed a place. Please note this queuing may be outside in sub-zero temperatures - in a towel and dressing gown. The portions of cream they give you to rub yourself in are totally inadequate, and the quality is also very chemical (I tried several, true for all except the honey which actually seems to be just honey). You will never enjoy a quiet sauna in this place; there is a constant buzz of (not remotely) "witty" banter, something which the staff only encourage. The one plunge pool they have is no-where near the saunas - why? Do you know what a plunge pool is for? In general, this a place for people who want to say they've been to a sauna but don't really like saunas. Steam rooms: good but almost constantly full, even on weekdays. Salt tubs, etc: good but almost constantly full, even on weekdays. Capacity: this place runs almost permanently at over-capacity, and always has. This is really, really not cool. I've been a couple of times, both on weekdays and not during the school holidays, and it is STILL way too full. Aesthetics: full marks. Fairly believable Alpine feel to everything.

Gets quite busy, and there’s not THAT many options to choose from. Great marketing, but not what you’d expect.

Nice sauna. In summer you can lie outside.
