Wellness & Cooling Down on Warm Days

On very hot days the spa rhythm changes. Less heat, more water. Less exertion, more conscious pausing. High summer in South Tyrol brings temperatures where recovery follows its own logic. At Lindenhof in Naturns the offering is tailored precisely to this.

Water as the most important element

In high summer, almost everything at the spa revolves around water. Not hot water, but the contrast. The brine bath at Lindenhof is especially pleasant on warm days. The salty water cools the body gently, nourishes the skin and calms the nervous system. No effort, no strain. Simply let yourself float.

Alongside it, the cold-water basin offers deliberate cooling after a heat treatment. Those who wish can activate the circulation with a brief plunge and then cool down calmly in the fresh air. The wellbeing oases at Lindenhof offer exactly the right repertoire on hot days.

Rethinking the sauna

People who think of the sauna in summer usually think: too hot. Yet the sauna is particularly interesting at summer temperatures. The body is already pre-warmed by the outside heat. This means the sauna works faster and deeper. A shorter stay of six to eight minutes is enough to achieve the same effect as a long winter session. The sauna landscape at Lindenhof offers several cabins with different temperatures. The bio sauna at around 60 degrees is especially well suited to summer. Gentle warmth, high humidity and the move into the cool outdoor air afterwards clear the mind and leave the body feeling light.

Treatments that suit the season

On hot days the treatment plan at the spa changes too. Heavy oil applications and intensive heat treatments move into the background. In their place come light, cooling applications. Cooling face masks with aloe vera or mint, gentle lymphatic drainage and refreshing full-body massages with menthol-based products.

Among the beauty and massage treatments at Lindenhof the applications are adapted to the season. Those who book in August receive a programme attuned to what the time of year calls for. Lighter, fresher and focused on what the body really needs in summer warmth.

Quiet zones and shade

A good wellness day in high summer needs breaks too. Lindenhof has several relaxation zones that are deliberately kept cool. The indoor relaxation areas of the spa, the air-conditioned quiet rooms and the shaded terraces all offer the chance to simply be. No programme, no effort.

Guests staying in one of the rooms and suites at Lindenhof with a private balcony or terrace have a cool corner there too, with a view of the mountains. In high summer, the evenings on the balcony are often the finest part of the day.

Nutrition as part of cooling down

On hot days the kitchen plays a role of its own. Light dishes, plenty of water and fresh regional produce. The culinary offering at Lindenhof delivers exactly that. Seasonal menus with vegetables and herbs from the surrounding area, cool starters and light main courses that do not weigh the body down.

After the meal an espresso on the shaded terrace, then a short nap. That is not luxury but South Tyrolean way of life. And it fits Lindenhof better than anywhere else.

Staying active despite the heat

Those who do not want to give up movement entirely on hot days adjust the timing. Early morning hikes while the valley is still cool, or a quiet walk along the Waal paths in the evening. The activity holiday around Naturns offers plenty even in high summer, as long as the hot midday hours are spent at the spa and by the pool.

The fitness centre at Lindenhof is air-conditioned and suits a short workout on hot days too. Those who prefer to stay outside often find a fresh breeze from the mountains on the high trails early in the morning.

Wellness & cooling down at Lindenhof

High summer in South Tyrol is intense. To enjoy it properly you need a place that can do both. Experience the heat outside and stay cool and calm inside. Lindenhof in Naturns is exactly that.
