The process for guests from Lachen

How it works!

Many first-time guests from Lachen underestimate how uncomplicated a session is. No long preparation, no wet towel, no warm-up phase: you go in dry and come out dry. Here's what the process looks like in detail.

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

The difference? An extra boost through whole-body cryotherapy with eddy-current cooling (Cyclon)!!

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

Focus: Skin & Anti-Aging

Firmer skin and a fresher complexion – Cryotherapy for Lachen

Cold is a classic tool in cosmetics – in the whole-body cold chamber, it works on the entire surface of the skin. The strong stimulus briefly draws blood towards the body's core, after which it flows back to the periphery and supplies the skin with oxygen and nutrients. Guests from Lachen often report a fresher complexion, a firmer feel to the skin and a calmer, less flushed appearance. The cool impulse can also feel pleasant on blemish-prone or inflammation-prone skin. Combined with drinking enough water and a regular skincare routine, this creates a visible effect – with around 8 km to travel from Lachen, it's easy to plan as a weekly beauty routine.

  • A fresher, rosier complexion right after the session
  • A firming effect through vascular training
  • A calming stimulus for flushed skin
  • Support for connective tissue
  • Combines well with cosmetic treatments

Practical tips for Lachen

How to plan your sessions

Rhythm for Lachen

Guests travelling from Lachen usually schedule two fixed appointments a week – often Tuesday and Friday. This rhythm has proven itself: enough stimulus for adaptation, enough spacing for recovery. In intense phases (competition, training camps, acute complaints), three to four sessions a week are also possible.

Summer or winter?

Whether it's a heatwave or snowfall in Unterallgäu district: the chamber is a constant -110 °C. Especially on hot summer days, guests from Lachen find the three minutes particularly pleasant.

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 Lachen: 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: Longevity

Longevity in Lachen: cold as a building block for healthy ageing

Longevity isn't just about getting older, it's about staying healthy and capable for longer. Short, strong stimuli – heat, cold, exercise, fasting – are among the tools that keep the body adaptable. Whole-body cryotherapy delivers exactly that kind of stimulus in concentrated form: three minutes, the whole body, a measurable circulatory response. For people from Lachen who deliberately invest in their healthspan, the chamber is therefore often the weekly fixed point alongside strength and endurance training. With around 8 km to travel from Lachen, the effort stays manageable – and the flat rate makes several sessions a week easy to plan too.

  • A hormetic stimulus for cells and blood vessels
  • Consistency beats intensity
  • Combines with strength and endurance training
  • More everyday energy and focus
  • A flat rate makes daily sessions possible

Is Cryotherapy at -110 °C dangerous?

The dry cold only cools the outermost layer of skin, not the body's core. With protection for ears, hands and feet and expert guidance, the session is well tolerated – except in certain pre-existing conditions.

What do I need to bring from Lachen?

Underwear or swimwear – we provide protection for ears, hands, feet and mouth. Please come into the chamber dry, without creams or jewellery; we'll explain the details calmly before your first session.

Can I do cryotherapy directly in Lachen?

Is the cold chamber worth it in summer for guests from Lachen?

Yes. The chamber works with dry cold, completely independent of the weather in Lachen. Especially on hot days, many guests find the three minutes particularly refreshing and sleep-promoting.

What's the difference between a cold chamber and an ice bath?

An ice bath works with wet cold around 4 to 10 °C and quickly becomes uncomfortable. In the chamber, dry cold of -110 °C prevails – the stimulus is far stronger, but it only affects the outermost layer of skin and most guests from Lachen find it more bearable.

Yes – vouchers are available for single sessions and for packages. They're a popular gift in Unterallgäu district and can be requested directly at an appointment or by phone.
