“The refuge is named Bella Vista, which means “beautiful view” for a very good reason: wherever you look, there are nothing limiting your vision. In these moments, all thoughts dissolve. And then the revival process can begin.”
Paul Grüner
The crunch of ice. Clouds of steam. Being. Sweating. A sauna-ritual transforms into a simple yet unforgettable experience when gazing out over the Hochjoch Pass, surrounded by glacial ice, and contemplating the course of the stars in the heavens. We built the highest outdoor sauna in Europe in order to allow our guests to unleash elemental forces. And have a mind-blowing experience to boot.
Delicate threads of steam rise up towards the mountains. The sun is sinking. Soak in the hot water, and take in vistas that sweep over the Ötztal Alps. This is the essence of being alive. We brought our wooden hot tub all the way from Lapland in order to give visitors an extraordinary experience under the twinkling stars. An open-air soak on a mountaintop? What’s not to love? - (IN WINTER ONLY)
