A temperature of 45 - 50 degrees reproduces the conditions prevalent in a state of fever. Such conditions are ideal for strengthening the immune system and for ridding the body of impurities, enabling you to maximise your body's natural resistance. This process begins to work as soon you feel the gentle heat pleasantly warming your skin. Such temperatures are also extremely beneficial psychologically.

For the Finns, the sauna has always been the source of all goodness. A Finnish proverb says "In the sauna anger goes up in smoke" In our climes, however, the sauna is prized first and foremost for its health-giving properties.

Our"Montafoner hot sauna" works in the same way as the Finnish sauna. The only difference lies in the welcoming rustic decor. We Montafoners have a similar proverb to that of the Finns : "Let not the sun go down on thy wrath!"

Subjected to the cleansing properties of radiated heat, the body begins to sweat profusely. As you gradually warm up, your body is able to gently rid itself of impurities and excess fluid. Those guests who find the traditional "Finnish sauna" too hot and aggressive will feel much more comfortable here. You can choose between the following aromas : hayfield flowers, eucalyptus, mint, birch wood and pine.

Looking at the chamomile, with its yellow centre surrounded by radiating white pointed petals, it's hardly surprising that the ancient Egyptians worshipped it as the flower of the Sun God. And the ancient Romans were well aware of the therapeutic effect of combining high air humidity with gently radiated heat. The addition of perfume or herbal essences to the air is effective in clearing the respiratory passages and inducing a greater sense of psychological well-being.
