The joys of bathing

The HotTug is filled with water at 38 degrees centigrade and glides across Lake Brienz in the most tranquil way. All you have to do is decide where it goes. No test or licence is required to drive the tug, which is powered by an electric motor. Summer or winter, nothing stands in the way of this wonderful water-based experience.

Now here’s a great idea: relax and unwind in a hot tub with a view of Lake Brienz. Sit back in a round wooden bath – for two, six or even eight people – and enjoy the amazing panorama. And as a highlight, enjoy a tasty, creamy cheese fondue right there in the hot tub, before your bathing fun or even afterwards.

Alp Morgeten is 1,655 m.a.s.l. and cheese is still made here in the old tradition. It’s the perfect place to treat yourself to an Alpine bath in a wood-fired 3,000-litre cheese vat. To the sound of cowbells and under a starry sky, you bathe in all weathers – walled in by 60 million year old pinnacles – a marine & Alpine feeling all in one.

Soak up the mountain atmosphere on the Griesalp. Here at 1,400 m.a.s.l. there is an outdoor relaxation pool overlooking the Kiental and the Alps. The joys of nature await you at the hot tubs that complement the five hotels that are located next to each other.

At Chalet Hotel Adler in Kandersteg you can conveniently roll your whirlpool out onto the balcony at the touch of a button. Enjoy the unique luxury of gazing at the surrounding mountains from your private whirlpool as you sip champagne.

Just the sheer magnificence of the panorama of the Emmental and Bernese Alps makes a visit to Moosegg well worthwhile. And what’s more, here your mind and body will be pampered to the full, and there’s also a hot tub with amazing views. Fully relaxed, start or end your day here with a smile while enjoying champagne and tasty snacks.

The Berghaus Schwefelberg in Gantrisch Nature Park offers a special experience: relax and sweat in the sauna barrel before cooling off in the fresh mountain stream. Then enjoy a delicious fondue over an open fire. You have the whole place to yourself.

In the Gantrisch Nature Park, more precisely in Althaus, a wood-heated hot tub awaits you with an unrestricted view of the sunset and then the starry sky. You and up to four other people can choose the temperature and enjoy soup, cheese and homemade bread in the cosy greenhouse.

Set high above Zweisimmen, the Rinderberg Swiss Alpine Lodge exudes a unique atmosphere with its charm and its wooden construction. The wellness area provides deep relaxation options with sauna and hot tub, wood-fired of course. Surrounded by idyllic meadows and overlooking the valley, the outdoor hot tub is a must.

Enjoy a feeling of profound rejuvenation with the Zumsteins on the Alp Turnels above Gstaad. So much so, in fact, that you will almost feel as though you were being literally reborn. Despite the whey being over 40 degrees, the bath has a cooling effect and provides the body with a whole range of natural healing effects.

Combine your two greatest longings – relaxation and pleasure – at the Hotel Hof + Post in Innertkirchen. Bathe in a vat with a spicy scented beer brew before lying down on linen towels on a softly crackling bed of straw. With a freshly tapped beer in hand, you will find yourself redefining the very meaning of pleasure.
