Salt Water Pool
The salt-water pool is the basis of your well-being. Daily baths relax and detoxify your body.

Furthermore, salt-water baths have also proven to be beneficial for your health in times of convalescence and rehabilitation, after illness and injury, for problems of the musculoskeletal system, for metabolic diseases, and for diseases of the respiratory and cardiovascular organs.

The natural salt water used in our salt-water pool comes from the United Rhine Salt Works in Schweizerhalle, formed millions of years ago in an internal sea, today lying at a depth of 140-400 m. The natural salt water is added to spring water heated to 35°C at the perfect concentration.

Indoor Pool
Our indoor sports pool is 8 metres wide and 16 metres long and the temperature is a pleasant and constant 29°C.

Sauna World
Alternating between the heat of the sauna and a subsequent cold shower not only boosts the circulation, but also improves the body’s immune and respiratory systems.

The heat leads to more intense blood circulation in the skin, possibly alleviating skin problems. The muscles relax and healing is promoted for pulled muscles or tendons. The heat also relaxes and has a positive effect on the respiratory system.

BEATUS is redefining the definition of ‘wellness on the lake’! Available nowhere else in the Bernese Oberland, this treatment is available from June to September whenever the temperatures and weather permit.

Our tip for an exciting summer

A visit to the Rosenlaui Glacier Gorge – a UNESCO World Heritage site. A well maintained and secured trail takes you past mighty waterfalls, romantic grottoes and bizarre rock formations. The irrepressible energy of the glacial melt water can be seen and felt everywhere.

Your experience in the Diemtigtal Nature Park passes through snowy woods, alongside icy streams and over snow-covered meadows. Either skating or classical, the 22-km network of trails offers different levels of difficulty and a variety of starting points (between Schwenden and Zwischenflüh).

In the Justistal side valley, ski the 12-km trail along the Grönbach stream, past the site of the popular Chästeilete (cheese festival), up to the Hindersberg and back. A winter paradise with guaranteed snow, the starting point at the Niederhorn is clearly signposted.

How about a ski tour on the Lombachalp towards Hohgant or from Niederhorn to the Gemmenalphorn? Both descents pass through deep snow to the pretty village of Habkern. In winter you can also tour fromAeschiried to Alp Brunni or on the Stockhorn.

The Jungfrau region is easily reached from Interlaken. Here we recommend the routes from First station to the Faulhorn (2,682 m) or from the Schilthorn to the Hundshorn (2,929 m).

The Diemtigtal (Diemtig valley) is well known among touring skiers. Thanks to its easy accessibility, the nature park is also ideal for a day tour.

A tour on the Galmschibe or Rauflihorn is especially popular and rewarding. The Drümännler (2,436 m) is an alternative to the Galmschibe if there isn’t enough snow. Both the Turnen and Wiriehorn offer good opportunities for training.

Always take note of the avalanche and weather conditions when undertaking ski and snow tours.

Current avalanche and snow conditions are regularly published by the Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research. To be able to experience the freedom of the mountains in full, we recommend accompanying a local mountain guide.
