How coldness strengthens body and mind
Tradition and Alpine spa in the Salzburger Land
At the Hotel Nesslerhof in Großarl, you can expect a unique sauna culture, created with passion and expertise by an experienced team of three sauna masters: Ignaz, Leo, and Julian. Each brings their own signature style and areas of expertise to the table, so that every infusion tells its own story and combines tradition from the Salzburg region with soothing scents from nature. We offer two guided sauna infusions every day.
Tradition, nature, and little moments of wonder at the Hotel Nesslerhofof
Alpine nature on a wellness vacation in the Salzburger Land
At Hotel Nesslerhof, Sauna infusions are celebrated as a holistic ritual. Traditional banya elements meet alpine nature and loving storytelling. Our sauna masters work with regional hydrolates, fragrant forest and meadow aromas, and hand-picked herbs. Much of this is collected by hand. The infusions activate the metabolism, support the respiratory tract and joints, and range from deeply relaxing meditative moments with singing bowls to energizing experiences with invigorating citrus and herbal scents. Scrubs made from milk, herbs, and natural oils pamper the skin. Short stories from the Grossarl Valley open a small window onto the local culture. Selected show infusions add a touch of entertainment. In this way, tranquility and strength, nature and region, knowledge and sensuality combine to create a harmonious wellness experience in the Salzburg region. Authentic, mindful, and with a lot of heart for our homeland.
Forest, warmth, and well-being on a wellness vacation in the Salzburger Land
At the same time, our infusions are always an invitation to feel the rhythm of the mountains: seasonally harvested herbs, hay, and resins meet carefully measured heat phases, conscious breathing, and refreshing cooling rituals—from cold pools to rest periods enveloped in fragrant warmth. The craftsmanship of our sauna masters is evident in subtle touches – from gentle tapping techniques to specially created scrubs – and in little stories that bring the connection to the region to life. The result is a sensual interplay of nature, knowledge, and mindfulness that nourishes the skin, clears the mind, and gently reenergizes the body.
