Which sauna is right for you?

Three saunas, three effects in the wellness & spa area

Not every sauna is the same. Finnish sauna, steam bath and infrared have different effects on the body.

Finnish sauna:
intense heat for body and mind

The Finnish sauna is the classic among sauna types. Temperatures between 80 and 100 degrees Celsius, low humidity, short infusions of water on the hot stones. The body sweats intensely, the muscles relax, and circulation gets going.

Anyone who goes to the Finnish sauna in the evening after a long day at the lake or on the bike will sleep more deeply and wake more refreshed. Many sauna-goers report a noticeable improvement in sleep after a sauna session.

The Finnish sauna strengthens the immune system, promotes circulation and reduces stress. Anyone who uses the sauna regularly does something good for their cardiovascular system.

Steam bath:
gentle, moist heat that works from within

The steam bath uses moist heat at around 40 to 50 degrees Celsius. Gentler than the Finnish sauna, but just as effective.

The high humidity of almost 100% opens the airways, moisturises the skin and relieves tension in the body.

Especially suitable for anyone with sensitive airways or who does not like intense heat. You sit down, breathe deeply, and after a few minutes you can feel everything easing.

Infrared cabin:
deep heat that goes straight into the muscles.

The infrared cabin works differently from a classic sauna. No hot air, but heat rays that penetrate directly into the body and warm the muscles from within.

This type of heat is particularly beneficial for athletes, as it helps relieve muscle and joint pain and relax the muscles.

The temperatures are lower than in the Finnish sauna, which means you can stay in longer. Ideal after a long day of cycling, a yoga session or an extended hike at Lake Wörthersee. Step in, sit down, and let the warmth do its work.

Outdoor pool at Lake Wörthersee

Wellness at Lake Wörthersee:
Being by the lake without being in the lake

Not everyone wants to swim in Lake Wörthersee. Sometimes the water is too cold, the beach is too crowded, or you simply want some peace and quiet.

Giulia Slow Residence’s stainless-steel outdoor pool measures 6.3 by 10 metres and has a generous sunbathing area around it.

Cool down after the sauna, float in the water, or simply enjoy the sun on a lounger.

At the pool, hotel guests will find peace and space even in peak season.

Frequently asked questions about wellness at Lake Wörthersee

No, Giulia Slow Residence’s wellness & spa area is exclusively accessible to hotel guests. This keeps the atmosphere calm and relaxed.

In Giulia Slow Residence’s wellness & spa area, three types of sauna are available:
  • Finnish sauna
  • Steam bath
  • Infrared

Yes, access to the wellness & spa area is included free of charge for all guests of Giulia Slow Residence. Finnish sauna, steam bath, infrared and outdoor pool are available at no extra cost.

That depends on the type of sauna. In the Finnish sauna, 8 to 15 minutes per session is ideal. In the steam bath, you can stay a little longer, around 15 to 20 minutes. In the infrared cabin, 20 to 30 minutes is recommended. Your own wellbeing is always what matters most.

Two to three sauna visits per week are considered ideal for your health. If you use the sauna daily while on holiday, you are also doing something good for your body.

Two to three sauna sessions per visit are optimal. The rule is: take a cooling break between each session and give your body time to recover.

Before your sauna session, take a quick shower and dry your body well—dry skin sweats faster. Drink enough and do not go into the sauna on a full stomach. Place a towel underneath you so your skin does not come into contact with the wood.

Alternating between heat and cold stimulates circulation and strengthens the immune system. After your sauna session, take a quick cool shower, then rest. Only then should you do the next sauna session.

The Finnish sauna uses dry heat between 80 and 100 degrees, while the steam bath uses moist heat at around 40 to 50 degrees. Both have different effects on the body. In Giulia’s wellness & spa area, both are available—ideal for trying both.

Giulia Slow Residence in Schiefling am Wörthersee features a stainless-steel outdoor pool measuring 6.3 by 10 metres, as well as a wellness & spa area of around 200 m², exclusively for hotel guests.

Most large wellness areas at Lake Wörthersee are also accessible to day guests. Giulia Slow Residence’s wellness & spa area is intentionally different: exclusively for hotel guests. This guarantees peace and space without prior booking.

Giulia Slow Residence’s wellness area is ideal for anyone who truly wants to switch off: couples, solo travellers and active holidaymakers looking to recover after cycling tours or hikes.
