Sauna and relaxation at Hotel Eden: four saunas in Tux
Wellness after a day in the Zillertal Alps
You breathe in. And out again. Warmth slowly finds its way into your muscles, and you feel your heart lighten and your thoughts clear. What you experience here in our sauna in the Tux mountains is one of the oldest rituals in human history.
Already in the Stone Age, people in East Asia placed glowing stones into pits in the ground, poured water over them, and enjoyed the rising steam. In ancient Rome, thermal baths were built from marble. In the Orient, the legendary hammams emerged. And in Finland, people eventually gave it a name: sauna.
What has remained through all centuries and cultures is the same basic human need: after a day outdoors in nature, to return to warmth and rest. And that is exactly what you find here at Hotel Eden. Whether you’ve come down from the Rastkogel, finished your first cross-country ski loop, or simply need stillness for your soul: our four saunas and the hot whirlpool are here for you.
Four saunas and whirlpool: your sauna area in the Zillertal”
The Tyrolean sweat sauna
Our Tyrolean sweat sauna at Hotel Eden in Tux is for everyone who likes it really hot. At 90°C and low humidity, you’ll work up a proper sweat. We use infusions made from valuable natural essences sourced from the mountain landscape. Ten to fifteen minutes are enough, and you can feel every bit of tension release. The Tyrolean sweat sauna has a long tradition in our region: on alpine farmsteads in the Zillertal Alps, the sweat room has been a fixed part of life for centuries.
Herbal bio sauna
If 90°C is a bit too much for you, the herbal bio sauna is your place at Hotel Eden in Tux. At a mild 60°C and around 45% humidity, you sit in a fragrant inhalation sauna infused with natural herbal aromas. Breathing becomes easier, the warmth gently penetrates the body and stimulates circulation. Especially after a day in the fresh mountain air of the Zillertal Alps, this is particularly beneficial for the respiratory system.
Infrared sauna cabin
The infrared cabin at Hotel Eden in Tux works differently from a traditional sauna. At a pleasant 40°C, infrared light gently warms the body from the inside, reaching deep tissue layers. This may improve circulation, relax muscles, and support the immune system. Especially after a summit hike in the Zillertal Alps, when your muscles start to feel it, the infrared cabin is an ideal choice.
Aroma steam bath
Our aroma steam bath at Hotel Eden in Tux envelops you in warm eucalyptus mist at 46°C and 95% humidity. Ten to twenty minutes are enough to clear the airways and stimulate circulation. It is the gentlest of our four saunas and reflects a tradition that goes back thousands of years: in the hammams of the Orient, people already knew about the beneficial power of warm steam.
Hot whirlpool
Between sauna sessions—or simply whenever you feel like it—at Hotel Eden in Tux, the hot whirlpool surrounds you with 36°C warm water that gently relaxes your muscles. It helps release tension, supports circulation, and is also very good at taking away the feeling that you should actually be doing something else right now.
Sustainable relaxation: good for you. Good for the planet.
Because Mother Nature is important to us, we have consciously adapted our sauna hours:
Daily from 3:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
On request, also from 1:00 p.m.
Did you know that the heat generated by our cold storage rooms is used to warm our wellness area and whirlpool? This way, energy that would otherwise be wasted becomes your soothing sauna warmth. You can also help protect the mountain world of the Zillertal Alps very easily: please bring your own bathing slippers and use owels and bathrobes mindfully. Thank you from the heart!
