It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.

Mahatma Gandhi

At first sight it appears as if most men do not have any need of special care. This is because the percentage of their collagen and elastic fibres is a lot higher than of women, so their skin remains tight and wrinkle-free for longer. So men really just need soap and water after all? Far from it! Due to the increased secretion of sweat and sebum their skin tends to get more impurities and therefore needs special care.

Although the signs of time are less visible on men than women, after 40 their skin ages even faster and vehemently. Specific care with deep cleansing peelings does not just stimulate your senses and circulation, but also the process of skin purification. But also masks, relaxing facial and body massages or caring packages with marvellous essential oils will do wonders and provide regeneration and pure relaxation. All treatments in our spa are also suitable for men.

The miracle of the hay... and other true tales of beauty and well-being.

Life in the mountains of South Tyrol was austere. To make sure that the food for the livestock lasted through the winter, the farmers gathered every blade of grass from the Alpine meadows and steep slopes of the mountainsides and brought it all into the mountain hut. After the arduous work, they spent the night in the haystack. The hay makers soon noticed that they awoke the next morning feeling particularly refreshed and that all their exhaustion had vanished. The news of this spread. Very soon the first people from outside the region came „to bathe in the hay“. Servants even had bathing leave written into their contracts. For it was realised that the hay not only had a restorative effect, it also seemed to have healing properties - for example in cases of rheumatism or arthritis. Walking sticks, which guests had left behind after the cure, were proudly displayed.

Today, South Tyrolean mountain meadow hay is as good as ever. For only hay from untreated Alpine meadows high up the mountains with their wealth of types of Alpine grasses and herbs (more than 40 species per 50 square metres) may bear this name. The hay is harvested by hand, at enormous expense.

Relax for 20-30 minutes in warm, scented hay - the effect is impressive! Even if we leave aside the healing effect on the body - the soul emerges refreshed from the South Tyrolean hay bath.

This is due to the essential oils which reach the oldest part of our brain through the nose. There, in the limbic system, feelings and memories are stored, to which we have no access. Scents activate them, well-being and lightness of spirit are radiated and we feel as light-hearted as a child in summer in the country.

Sheep‘s wool | 23

„A handful of sheep‘s wool makes up half the family medicine cabinet“ declares an old saying.

Sheep‘s wool and herb packing | is beneficial in cases of headache, lumbago, back and neck pain, sleep disturbances, migraine and rheumatism. It harmonises the circulation.

40 min.

55 €

Sheep‘s wool is a wonderful heat cushion as only Nature can produce: the warming effect of the natural wool mobilises the body‘s self-healing properties.

Sheep‘s wool can be used gently and naturally for complaints such as back pain, lumbago, migraine, neck pain, rheumatism etc.

Since the texture of fleece consists of 80% air, the fibres are always in motion and provide a gentle massage. Circulation to the skin is improved and the skin is better able to breathe; new energy is awoken. The grease from the fleece also has a very healing effect and is thus an unsurpassed source of health. It is very similar to our own body fat: it cleanses, detoxifies, prevents germs. Perspiration and moisture are included. The grease from the fleece and the lanolin obtained from it can cure infections and aid healing. Wool has been used since ancient times to protect the body from cold, rain and damp.

In short, protection for the most precious human gift, that of health.

Finnish sauna | with a high room temperature of 85°C and low atmospheric humidity for the classic sauna experience.

In the combination of warmth, steam and essential oils, your body and soul enter beneficial surroundings.

Mediterraneo | dry sauna at 40°C, Aufguss every four minutes with Mediterranean herbs. The pleasantly dry warmth stimulates perspiration with beneficial effect.

Please observe the following points for the correct use of the sauna: • Do not use the sauna when you are hungry, nor when you have a full stomach • We recommend that you warm up your body before going into the sauna • Do not stay in the sauna for more than 10-15 minutes, depending on your state of health • It is extremely important to cool down after using the sauna: first clear the air passages in the fresh air area, then spray cold water directly onto various parts of the body, starting with the arms and legs up to the back and torso, from the extremities towards the heart, finishing with the head • Wrap yourself in your bathrobe and rest for at least half an hour • The sauna can be used for maximum of 3 visits • The sauna is a nude area - we are happy to provide you with your own sauna kilt • Children under the age of 16 are forbidden to use the sauna

Sauna | 31

Taking a sauna increases resistance to colds and chills and strengthens the immune system. The increase in body temperature during the sweating phase (artificial fever) has the same effect on the body as if you were running a temperature: it stimulates increased activity in the immune cells, which in turn is important for warding off infections.

Pouring water on the hot lava stones engenders the „scorching heat“, which rises, first of all, to the ceiling of the sauna cabin and which can then be distributed throughout the cabin by waving your towel. The effect of this is that the air layer on the skin, which acts as insulation, is mixed with warmer air and this heats the body further. Pouring water on the stones thus increases the experience of heat in the sauna. The sequence of heat followed by the cold bath relaxes the muscles, stimulates the metabolism and circulation and retards skin ageing.

Aufguss in the Finnish sauna | Traditional with essential oils: for example arrolla pine, eucalyptus, lemon grass etc.

Typically Finnish: with birch twigs (Vasta). the sauna master „ beats“ the whole body with twigs. This process has the same effect as massaging the skin and stimulates the circulation of the blood.

Typically South Tyrol: Tyrolean Aufguss - with snappy Alpine music Peelings in the steam sauna | Salt peeling: The mountain crystal salt is enriched with various essential oils e.g. aloe vera, lotus, mint. The salt encourages perspiration, disinfects and dead skin cells are rubbed off (peeled).

Honey peeling: a honey peeling cleanses and cares for the skin. The result is soft, silky skin.

Each Aufguss usually last about 10 minutes.
