The process for guests from Salgen

Arrival & briefing
We calmly explain the process and answer all your questions before your first session.
Getting ready
Swimwear, hat, gloves, socks and a face mask – your skin stays dry and free of creams.
3 minutes at -110 °C
Dry cold down to -110 °C, evenly distributed by our eddy-current cooling (Cyclon).
Step out & feel it
Warmth, tingling, freshness: many feel the effect right after the very first session.

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: Stress & Sleep
Constant stress keeps the body on high alert. The cold chamber radically interrupts that pattern: three minutes at -110 °C demand full attention, followed by a deep relaxation that many describe as a "reset". The release of endorphins noticeably lifts mood, while many guests from Salgen report calmer, deeper sleep the night after. Coming from work in Salgen, plan on about an hour in total for travel, the session and the rest period afterwards – it's around 25 minutes each way.
For working people from Salgen, the session fits nicely into an extended lunch break. Salgen liegt im Mindeltal, rund 25 Minuten von Memmingen. That makes the appointment especially practical for Salgen. It's 25 kilometres from Salgen to Kempterstrasse 25 in Memmingen, a drive of about 25 minutes über die Mindeltalstraße. Guests from Salgen usually name recovery after garden and farm work as their reason. Anyone coming regularly from Salgen saves noticeably with a package.
Guests from Salgen mainly report two effects: a clear head in the evening and calmer sleep the following night.
For guests from Salgen
Whole-body cryotherapy doesn't work on a single spot but on the whole organism. Guests from Salgen therefore come with very different goals – from post-sport recovery to skin and sleep.
With 25 minutes' drive from Salgen, allow a small buffer – stepping into the chamber in a rush brings less benefit.
For first visits from Salgen we deliberately allow a little more time. Unlike a cryo sauna, here the whole body including the head is in the cold – an argument for guests from Salgen. On hot summer days especially, guests from Salgen find the three minutes a pleasant cool-down.
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.




You can find all effects in detail on the page Effects – the process is described under How It Works .
Your visit
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 Salgen
Bundling trips is worthwhile from Salgen: many guests combine the session with shopping, a doctor's appointment or training in Memmingen. That way, the 25 km trip becomes not an extra errand but a fixed part of the weekly rhythm.
In winter, the cold chamber is mainly immune and mood training for guests from Salgen, 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.
There are lakes, streams and, in winter, plenty of cold around Salgen – yet the chamber is something different. Cold water cools the body's core and needs a long time to get used to. The dry cold at -110 °C works within three minutes through the skin's receptors, without the core cooling down. The stimulus is stronger, and the strain on circulation is shorter and more controlled.
Focus: Sport & Recovery
Anyone in Salgen who plays football or handball, cycles, runs or trains with weights knows the problem: there's often too little time for real recovery between two sessions. Three minutes at -110 °C act like a turbo boost for recovery: the extreme dry cold constricts blood vessels, reduces signal transmission in the pain fibres and slows inflammatory processes after intense exertion. Once you step out, the vessels widen again and oxygen-rich blood floods the worked muscles. Many active people from Unterallgäu district schedule the session straight after training or the day after competing – with around 25 minutes' drive from Salgen, that fits easily into a weekly routine.
In Unterallgäu district many combine the session with fresh-air movement – a walk or easy ride afterwards extends the feeling of warmth.
From Salgen the quickest route runs über die Mindeltalstraße towards Memmingen. Those coming from Salgen have often already tried physiotherapy or sauna and are looking for an extra stimulus. From Salgen we often hear that muscle soreness is far milder the next day.
