Kneipp pool at the Olympica in Brig-Glis

Kneipp basin

Our Kneipp treading pool is a small medical sensation. It regulates the circulation, stabilizes the nervous system and revitalizes mental well-being.

Special round stones massage the soles of your feet (reflex zones) during treading water and thus influence all areas of your body.

Cold water basin

Natural water, which comes out of the tap at a temperature of around 8 to 10 degrees Celsius, has the strongest effect on the body.

This mainly stimulates blood circulation and increases blood pressure, activating the nervous, metabolic and immune functions (hardening). Before each of these cold baths, the visitor must be well warmed up. This happens after a heat treatment (sauna, steam bath, bio sauna, etc.)

After each cold application, it is essential to reheat the product. Relax on the heated loungers, in the relaxation room, in the tepidarium or in our pools.

All cold baths usually only last a few moments and put an enormous strain on the entire circulatory system. Caution is therefore advised when leaving the diving pool.

Whirlpools

Salt content 5g salt per liter = ½ as salty as tear fluid or 10% of the salt content of seawater.

Salt water creates a strong feeling of warmth. It promotes the blood circulation of the skin and the general reorganization of the vegetative reaction. The body also excretes more nitrogen and the protein build-up in the skin is strongly stimulated. Light salt water is also considered ideal by doctors. Therapeutically very effective against neurodermatitis and other allergic skin diseases.

Compared to chlorinated water, salt water is much silkier, softer and contains more oxygen. Water jets lead to a general release of tension and individual areas of tension can also be stimulated.

The stimulation of the reflex zones is passed on to the internal organs, which in turn has an effect on the whole organism. It does not irritate the skin or sting the eyes.

Salt water pools promote and normalize blood circulation in general, especially in the legs. But it also helps to reduce feelings of anxiety and stress and thus has a stabilizing effect on the psyche.

The fragrances in the hamam follow the principles of naturopathy (phytotherapy).

It aims to awaken and strengthen the vitality and self-healing of the visitor. The fragrance essences bring about a change of mood, regulate what has become out of balance and remove the actual breeding ground for illness.

Aroma grotto at the Olympica in Brig-Glis

Aroma grotto

Our warmest steam bath with 48° and its own aroma!

Our world is full of fascinating scents, and fragrances in particular often captivate our senses.

But the aromas of plants can do more than just flatter our noses. They help to heal illnesses, promote general relaxation and effectively prevent many diseases. The aroma grotto is a holistic healing method that can influence physical, mental and spiritual processes with the help of essential oils.

Aromatic oils are natural, therapeutic remedies that come exclusively from the plant world. The aroma grotto is effective against mucus in the upper airways, sinuses and nasal cavities, etc.

All steam and inhalation baths are ideal for the prevention of colds/illnesses and gentle skin care.

Tepidarium

The tepidarium is a regeneration bath based on the Roman model. In the ancient thermal baths, the tepidarium was positioned as a lukewarm room between the cold and hot baths. The tepidarium with its pleasantly gentle radiant heat is an integral part of healthy relaxation in our modern bathing facilities.

The seat, foot and back areas are heated in the regeneration bath. The well-tempered room climate, the scent of essential oils, soothing music and the temperature of 37 to 39 degrees provide a variety of health benefits.

Particularly noteworthy is the gentle strengthening of the immune system. There is no time limit on your stay in the tepidarium and you can enjoy the revitalizing and soothing effect for hours if you wish.

Scented steam bath

Purify your airways, throat, pharynx or sinuses in the fragrant scented steam bath at 43°.

Steam baths simulate the fever situation. Toxins in the body are dissolved and finally excreted with the provoked sweat. Steam baths are one of the most important detoxification therapies. For example: eucalyptus, camomile, peppermint, etc. Inhaled hot vapors with suitable plant oils disinfect the respiratory tract. These are relieved, freed, inhibit inflammation and have a preventive effect, so that rapid healing occurs.

Fever is one of the body's most effective reactions. It stimulates various mechanisms of the immune system that contribute to the elimination of toxins that have entered the body.

Bio sauna

The bio-sauna is the gentle version of the Finnish sauna. The room temperature is only around 55 degrees. Sweating and cooling down are carried out alternately. This type of sauna is beneficial to health and skin care.

Finnish sauna

The sauna is an excellent way to stay healthy, but also to speed up recovery processes. Large Finnish sauna with light therapy, automatic infusion and soothing music. (temperature 85° to 90°C)

Effect
The sauna influences the vegetative reaction of the whole organism. It accelerates the metabolism and ensures a powerful detoxification of the body through heavy sweating. Through the sophisticated alternating heat and cold stimulus (cold water pool) and the corresponding body reactions, it acclimatizes the body to extremely changing temperature conditions. It is an excellent hardening agent.

Color light therapy
Color light therapy gives us the opportunity to intervene in the energetic and subtle healing process in order to balance disharmonies of body and soul.

Infrared sauna

A new technology with infrared heating foils in the walls is a pioneering step into the future.

Radiant heat not only makes flowers blossom in icy conditions. All living beings - including us humans - are inextricably linked to this law of nature and exhibit the same patterns of behavior.

Every year in spring, we revive and feel a fresh zest for action within us. Light and warmth change us during this time and give us new vitality after a relatively long period of cold and darkness. It is not the heat and strong light of summer that inspire us, but the gentle warmth and soft, colorful light of spring that invigorates us humans and makes us feel new energy.

We have revived an age-old Roman idea and produce gentle, spring-like radiant heat in our cabins rather than hot air. Warmth that gets under your skin, revitalizes you and provides you with new life energy.

Solarium

A solarium offers numerous benefits, including the promotion of vitamin D production, the improvement of the skin's appearance and the possibility of increasing well-being through the stimulating effect of UV rays.

The advantage of our solariums is that the sunbeds are positioned individually in the rooms. So you are all to yourself and can relax and get a tan.
Our sunbeds are now also BAG-compliant. Clear safety instructions and tanning time recommendations now adorn the outside. And inside there are control sheets for you to record your times yourself.

IR Sauna Deluxe

If you would like to enjoy an infrared sauna together, our new Deluxe infrared sauna is probably the most comfortable way to relax completely. It's not just custom lighting scenarios or an integrated music player that are available. Thanks to the SOLIS® TWS® deep heat radiator in the couch, the entire spinal column area is warmed through. The lying position relieves pressure on the muscles, which increases the health benefits. The new artificial leather lounger with viscoelastic AtroSoft® foam adapts to your body shape for maximum comfort. Pressure points are avoided.

Thanks to the adjustable footrest, the lounger is suitable for both short and tall people (up to a height of approx. 195 cm). The new infrared sauna Deluxe has padded armrests on the loungers to offer you the greatest possible comfort.

Note: Special towels are required to feel the heat on your back. These can be purchased separately on the manufacturer's website.
