Sauna in the Swiss Alps

On the Magic Mountain

The municipality of Davos in the Swiss Alps is world-famous for its landscape, air and architecture. The outdoor sauna of these chalet owners pays homage to all three: on a hill in their garden, they built a free-standing sauna house out of logs. With a view of the neighbouring forest - but without a relaxation area. For refreshment, they simply go out into the fresh mountain air, into the dipping tub in front of the door or into the snow...

TIME-HONOURED TRADITIONS

Love of nature and craftsmanship

Sometimes time-honoured traditions are simply the best: for this Davos outdoor sauna, for example, the classic logs of Nordic spruce were interlocked. This makes the sauna free of cracks and requires no additional insulation. The walls, ceiling, doors and even the carved handles are also completely natural. The cast-iron sauna stove with its thick smoke outlet also radiates traditional values.

Rustic chalet with a view

To make this garden sauna look like something out of a winter fairy tale, it offers users a view of the mostly snow-covered garden and the white sheltered fir trees through a large window. The rectangular window, however, was set high enough so that it does not reveal too much of the cabin's interior. In the cosy interior of the sweat room, enveloped by hot air and the scent of the wood, the Davos landscape can then be particularly enjoyed...

On the outside, this solid wood sauna made of logs matches the chalet style of the main house. But also on the inside, the use of pine wood throughout is reminiscent of alpine living rooms. The panelled wood of the walls and ceiling, the wooden door and the wood-framed window complete the look. The only material exceptions are the aspen plank beds and the cast-iron stove.

Sometimes traditional traditions are simply the best: for this open-air sauna in Davos, for example, the classic Nordic fir logs have been wedged together. This means that the sauna is free of cracks and does not need any additional insulation. Even the walls, ceiling, doors and even the carved handles are completely natural. Even the cast-iron sauna stove, with its thick smoke output, exudes traditional values.
