Stay warm: saunas and more

Winter is here and if you're feeling the cold, i have some tips that will end your suffering, because i know some very nice and hot places in town. Here my list of the best saunas and hamams in Zurich.

At Seefeld

One of the latest additions to the spa world in town is Hammam Basar at Seefeld. An exclusive traditional hamam wich also hosts couples nights. 


Next to Langstrasse


Right next to, well actually under, Volkshaus you find the «Stadtbad mit Hammam und Spa», a hidden, oriental world. Here you can warm yourself up or just enjoy the stylish ambience. 


At Enge


The view of Zurich from the hot pool of «Thermalbad im Hürlimann-Areal» is unique. The Irish-Roman-Circuit i always find very enjoyable and i regularly hit my head while floating because i fall asleep. 


At the lake

The award for the very best view will remain at «Sauna am See». I'm sure there will never be one that can compete. The jump into the lake after the sauna is the best you can do for your immune system. Hot, cold, hot, cold - enjoy!


In the old town


The oasis in the old town was, at least i think, the first hamam in town. Here you find some peace and quiet, which might be needed at this time of the year. It's very popular - as it's part of Migros Fitness - so i recommend going there outside rush hour. 


At Zürichberg


The largest Saunagarden of the city is hidden on Zürichberg, where properties are large and people are beautiful, as are the different suanas and steam bath. Definitely worth a visit. 


On the hill


The Spa at Dolder is like a diamond within Zurich's spa-world. Designed by US-designer Sylvia Sepielli the spa includes several pools inside and outside, a sauna, a snow room and much more. Of course it also costs a bit more but it will be difficult to find more luxury in town. 


On the other side of the hill


Atlantis, at the other end of the town, also opened a wonderful spa above Triemli last year. The generous pool- and sauna world is also open to the public, not just hotel guests. It costs a bit, but it's beautiful. 


Women only

A steam bath and two saunas wait at Lady's Frist. Not just for hotel guests but for every woman who is looking for some pampering. There is also a quiet roof terrace. Wonderful!
