Highlights
Outing Highlights
Panoramic lake and mountain views
The tubs are positioned to deliver uninterrupted lake-and-mountain outlooks while you soak, making the setting as much a part of the experience as the water itself.
Private tubs for small groups with dedicated facilities
Each hot tub accommodates 2–4 people and includes its own toilet and changing area; towels and drinking water are provided, but there are no shower facilities.
Popular in winter — book in advance
The operator notes high demand during winter months; to avoid disappointment, reserve your one‑hour session ahead of time.

What a session feels like
You arrive, check in, change in your private area, then step into a gently heated tub for a 1‑hour session that includes changing time. The water is maintained at around 38°C (±1°C depending on outside temperature) and is intended for quiet soaking rather than vigorous jets; towels and drinking water are provided for the duration.
