Ice bathing in Gastein
It has long been known that there are several cool hotspots
around the Blü in Gastein for a cool down on hot summer days.
There is also a fresh offer directly on the roof of the casual hotel in Bad Hofgastein - in the Himmelblü Garden with a wonderful panoramic view of the Gastein mountains: The hotel's own ice bath has recently been used to cool off.
Ice bathing is an ancient practice that is rooted in many cultures around the world. Originally, it was mainly used in Scandinavia, Russia and the Alpine regions to promote health and increase well-being. Today, cold water is becoming more and more popular as it has numerous positive effects on the body and mind and also provides a nice cool-down on hot summer days. However, ice bathing is not only practised in summer, but all year round and of course also in winter. At the Hotel Blü in Bad Hofgastein, for example, you can bathe in ice-cold water all year round - under supervision.
