The process for guests from Hopferau

How it works!

Before you set off from Hopferau, it's worth looking at how it works: the session itself takes just three minutes, with changing, a briefing and a short rest period around it. On site we explain every step in person – no one steps into the chamber unprepared.

Arrival & briefing

Arrive relaxed

We calmly explain the process and answer all your questions before your first session.

Getting ready

Change & get ready

Swimwear, hat, gloves, socks and a face mask – your skin stays dry and free of creams.

3 minutes at -110 °C

Into the cold

Dry cold down to -110 °C, evenly distributed by our eddy-current cooling (Cyclon).

Step out & feel it

Done. Now feel it.

Warmth, tingling, freshness: many feel the effect right after the very first session.

Chamber temperature

Duration

03:00 MIN

Good to know

Session lasting 3 minutes of dry cold at -110°C.

The difference: whole-body cryotherapy with eddy-current cooling (Cyclon) that circulates the cold air evenly around the body.

The cold penetrates about 1mm into the skin and stimulates the nerve endings – including the vagus nerve, which runs along the cervical spine, is positively stimulated by the cold.

The stimulus on the skin travels to the brain and can trigger the positive effects.

Dry cold in general triggers the release of adrenaline and the happiness hormone dopamine, as well as corticoids, for regeneration.

Blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides can gradually normalize.

Even after the very first session you feel better, more at ease – a true mood booster. Already inside the cold chamber you can sense something happening in your body, and afterwards you feel reborn – an indescribable tingling on the skin, a feeling of warmth and a wonderful sense of relaxation follow.

You are professionally supervised throughout the session: we discuss your health situation beforehand, explain the process and stay in visual and verbal contact. We recommend 2–3 sessions per week.

Focus: Pain & Joints

Cold therapy for joint and back pain – for guests from Hopferau

Back pain, stiff joints, rheumatic complaints or tension after long working days are among the most common reasons guests from Hopferau and Ostallgäu district try whole-body cryotherapy. The dry cold at -110 °C dampens the transmission of pain signals and has an anti-inflammatory effect – without medication, without side effects in the classic sense. Many describe a noticeably lighter body feeling and greater freedom of movement after the session, which, depending on the starting point, can last several hours to days. Important: the cold chamber does not replace medical treatment, it complements it. If you have an existing condition, please talk to your doctor first.

Getting here from Hopferau is simple: über die B12 bzw. die B16 Richtung Memmingen, 62 kilometres, roughly 52 minutes. Anyone coming regularly from Hopferau saves noticeably with a package. Hopferau liegt rund 62 km von der Kältekammer in der Kempterstraße entfernt – die Fahrt dauert etwa 52 Minuten. That makes the short trip to Memmingen doubly worthwhile. What brings people from Hopferau here is above all metabolism and gewichtsmanagement. Guests from Ostallgäu district often come during their lunch break or straight after work.

In Ostallgäu district many combine the session with fresh-air movement – a walk or easy ride afterwards extends the feeling of warmth.

  • Can be planned as a series for chronic complaints too
  • Pain relief without medication
  • An anti-inflammatory impulse throughout the whole body
  • More mobility in everyday life

For guests from Hopferau

What the cold treatment can do

Whether someone from Hopferau comes for back pain, for their figure, or simply for more energy: the stimulus is the same, but the focus isn't. These four areas sum up what cold can do.

With 52 minutes' drive from Hopferau, allow a small buffer – stepping into the chamber in a rush brings less benefit.

For first visits from Hopferau we deliberately allow a little more time. If you already use a sauna in Hopferau, you can combine both: heat and cold complement each other well. After the holidays many from Hopferau use the chamber as a restart for their own rhythm.

Please note: we cannot promise any cure – every body responds differently to cold therapy. Results also depend on regular sessions of at least 2–3 times a week over a longer period.

Your visit

How a visit at Kempterstraße runs

We schedule every appointment so that you can arrive calmly. On a first visit we take extra time for a short conversation, answer open questions and show you the chamber before you step in. You then decide whether to use the full three minutes.

During the session one of us stays in visual contact and talks to you through the intercom. Afterwards we recommend movement – a few minutes on the bike or a short walk is enough to get your circulation going again.

  • Arriving

    About ten minutes early – changing room, short briefing, questions answered.

  • In the chamber

    Up to three minutes, stoppable at any time, always supervised.

  • Afterwards

    Movement, a warm drink and a short chat about how it felt.

Practical tips for Hopferau

How to plan your sessions

Rhythm for Hopferau

For a start from Hopferau, we recommend a series of 10 sessions within four to five weeks. During this time the body gets used to the stimulus, and the effects on sleep, energy and complaints become more noticeable. After that, many guests maintain the level with one session a week.

Summer or winter?

In winter, the cold chamber is mainly immune and mood training for guests from Hopferau, while in summer it's a recovery tool after cycling, running and hiking trips. The cold stimulus itself stays identical all year round: -110 °C, dry, three minutes.

Cold Chamber, ice bath or sauna?

Ice bath, cold shower or cold chamber? Water conducts heat roughly 25 times faster than air – an ice bath at 4 °C therefore feels harsher than -110 °C dry air. The key difference for guests from Hopferau: in the chamber, only the outermost layer of skin is cooled extremely, while the body's core stays warm. That makes the session safe, short and noticeably more pleasant than jumping into the river Iller.

Focus: Immune System

Strengthening the immune system – why people from Hopferau visit the cold chamber

Especially during the damp, cold months in Ostallgäu district, infections tend to pile up. The short, controlled cold stimulus at -110 °C acts as a training impulse for the body: circulation, blood vessels and the immune system are all challenged, without the body actually cooling down the way it would in an ice bath, because the cold is dry and lasts only three minutes. Many guests from Hopferau therefore use the chamber as a fixed routine over the winter, often twice a week. The effect builds up over a series; individual sessions are more of an experience than a training stimulus.

Demand from Hopferau peaks between October and March; booking early is worthwhile then.

Guests from Hopferau are mixed: from their early twenties to well over seventy, with very different goals. From Hopferau we often hear that muscle soreness is far milder the next day. From Hopferau the quickest route runs über die B12 bzw. die B16 Richtung Memmingen towards Memmingen.

  • A complement to exercise in the fresh air
  • A cold stimulus that trains vessels and defences
  • Dry cold – no cooling down like in an ice bath
  • A fixed winter routine with 2 sessions a week
