Welcome » Relax » Sauna

A holiday apartment with a sauna, or a hotel with wellness in the Dolomites?
The Hirben is both!

Perspiration means inspiration!

Just perfect. Put your feet up after a summer’s hike or a giant day out in the snow. Put your feet up and get 90° horizontal. And 90° is what the sauna thermometer reads too. Just perfect. Sizzling water drops on hot stone, gentle breathing, eyes closed and mind switched to “off”. Just perfect.

Daily from 2 pm to 7.30 pm: bathrobes and bath towels are ready and waiting for you!

1,000 m2 sauna areaTake the plunge!

Finnish sauna

Not only will you work up quite a sweat in here, you’ll also feel completely at one with yourself. Your immune system will be boosted all while your mind is soothed. Around 80-100°C, 10-25% humidity, spruce wood, views of the garden and the mountains.

Bio-sauna

Gentle on the body, gentle on the soul. Lightly sweating, completely relaxed and effective – and not just for the sensitive! Around 60°C, 50-60 % humidity, spruce wood, soft light.

Hay sauna

Close your eyes, open your nostrils and take a deep breath! A touch of the mountain hut, a whole heap of relaxation. Around 60°C, 60-70% humidity, spruce wood, views of the mountains and the garden.

Infrared cabin

Warmth that gets right under your skin, working from the inside outwards, that feels like being wrapped in a ray of sunshine! Around 40°C, 20-30 % humidity, spruce wood.

Steam bath

Breathe in deeply, breathe out deeply and feel how good it all is – almost like being on holiday, but with a somewhat mistier outlook. Around 45°C, 85-90 % humidity, natural stone.

And we like to go one better: four times a week, aromatic water is sprinkled onto the stones: crushed ice is available free of charge for all DIY sprinklers, with a wonderful scrub offered each day in the steam bath.

And don’t forget: our sauna area is textile-free, which is healthier for the skin, lets you sweat better and, rest assured, no one here has ever been bothered by it!
#versprochen!

And perhaps you are asking:

A retreat in the midst of the natural world. Our wellness area is a place of tranquillity, designed with careful attention to detail, using natural materials and harmoniously integrated into the landscape.

Look forward to a hay sauna as you enjoy breathtaking panoramic views, or a classic Finnish sauna, a gentle bio-sauna, a soothing steam bath or a relaxing infrared cabin. There are two inviting quiet rooms with comfortable wooden loungers that offer space to unwind; and, from our small but delightful wellness bar, you can savour aromatic herbal teas, fresh fruit and homemade juices.

Outside, the sunbathing lawn lets you breathe in deeply and let go, with just the gentle sounds of nature – no irritating music or hustle and bustle. It’s not about quantity here, but rather the essentials: quality, conscious tranquillity and genuine relaxation – a place where you can switch off, let go and find yourself again.

Our 25-metre outdoor pool, heated all year round to a pleasant 30°C, is perfect both for swimming and relaxing. There is a covered, heated indoor entrance for pleasurable access even on cooler days. Whether for swimming a few lengths in the morning, or just floating in the warm water – here you can combine exercise with well-being.

It’s clear: it’s the combination of space, tranquillity and comfort. Our pool is 25 metres long, meaning that you can really swim instead of just splashing about. The indoor entrance, pleasantly heated to 30°C, makes jumping into the water a gentle experience – ideal for in the morning, after a hike or simply in between.

There are wooden decks, a sunbathing lawn and plenty of nature all around you. And no hustle and bustle – just water, space and summer or winter sun. 

It’s a place for clearing your mind, where you can swim a few lengths, switch off and enjoy views of the mountains.

The hay sauna is a real highlight of our natural wellness area. It is made from local wood and not only has a wonderful scent; it also has beneficial effects on body and mind. The special feature is the certified mountain hay, which smells particularly good thanks to the many flowers and grasses it contains. Our hay sauna has a temperature of around 60°C and a humidity level of 35 to 50%, producing strengthening and cleansing effects.

We only use natural, high-quality care products from South Tyrol that match our sustainability concept. We carefully select our partners, who work with local plant extracts, Alpine herbs, mountain pine, arnica and hay flowers, without no unnecessary additives. No frills – just pure, effective, nature-based items that produce noticeable, genuine and deep-working results.

Yes, we recommend that you book treatments or massages prior to arriving or upon arrival. 
This allows us to meet your individual wishes and schedule the appropriate treatments at the desired time. Our massage therapist takes time for each treatment – quality is always our top priority.

Yes – the entire wellness area, with its five saunas, quiet room, wellness bar and pool are all included in the price. Bathrobes and towels are also of course provided.
