FORESTIS | Dolomites, Italy
Daily Aufgüsse (Sauna Ritual) is offered in two daily sessions—the ritual begins in the 90 degree celsius FORESTIS forest sauna. Hot stones set in the center of the sauna produce a dry heat as a sauna ritual specialist continuously pours water over the hot stones, releasing aromatic steam as the specialist uses a towel to waft the steam about the room in dancelike movements inspired by traditional Wyda practices. After 12 minutes, guests are directed outside to breathe in the fresh mountain air before entering a spring-fed cold plunge to finish the ritual—allowing the human body to deeply regenerate.
