The process for guests from Rettenberg

How it works!

To make the trip from Rettenberg worthwhile, here's the essentials about the technology and process: -110 °C, dry air, eddy-current cooling, three minutes. The overview below shows what happens in the body.

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: Immune System

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

Especially during the damp, cold months in Oberallgäu 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 Rettenberg 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.

  • 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
  • More alertness right after the chamber
  • A complement to exercise in the fresh air

For guests from Rettenberg

What the cold can do

Whether someone from Rettenberg 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.

Practical tips for Rettenberg

How to plan your sessions

Rhythm for Rettenberg

Guests travelling from Rettenberg 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 Oberallgäu district: the chamber is a constant -110 °C. Especially on hot summer days, guests from Rettenberg 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 Rettenberg: 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: Work & Physical Strain

A physically demanding job? Cold chamber recovery for Rettenberg

Trades, care work, farming, production, shift work: many people in Oberallgäu district work physically – or spend the day sitting at a desk in a forced posture. Both leave their mark on muscles and joints. Whole-body cryotherapy provides a short, highly effective recovery impulse that fits easily into your evening without much time investment. From Rettenberg it's only around 48 minutes – including changing and the session, you're done in about 30 minutes.

  • A short break without using half a day off
  • Relief for back, shoulders and knees
  • A clear head after your shift
  • Easy scheduling via online booking
  • Packages for regular sessions
