The process for guests from Sonthofen

How it works!

Many first-time guests from Sonthofen 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.

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

-110 °C

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: Skin & Anti-Aging

Firmer skin and a fresher complexion – Cryotherapy for Sonthofen

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 Sonthofen 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 62 km to travel from Sonthofen, it's easy to plan as a weekly beauty routine.

From Sonthofen all you need is a towel and time – we provide everything else. Für Sonthofener Wintersportler ist die Kältekammer eine wirksame Ergänzung zum Training. That makes the appointment especially practical for Sonthofen. Guests from Oberallgäu district often come during their lunch break or straight after work. Getting here from Sonthofen is simple: über die B19 und A7, 62 kilometres, roughly 55 minutes. The most common reason in Sonthofen: Winter sports, recovery and joints.

Guests from Sonthofen mainly report two effects: a clear head in the evening and calmer sleep the following night.

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

For guests from Sonthofen

What the cold treatment can do

Whole-body cryotherapy doesn't work on a single spot but on the whole organism. Guests from Sonthofen therefore come with very different goals – from post-sport recovery to skin and sleep.

Whether the trip from Sonthofen pays off usually becomes clear after three to five sessions – that's how long the body needs to settle into the cold stimulus.

Booking is online around the clock – handy for shift workers from Sonthofen. Unlike a cryo sauna, here the whole body including the head is in the cold – an argument for guests from Sonthofen. In winter, guests from Sonthofen ask more about immunity; in summer more about recovery.

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 Sonthofen

How to plan your sessions

Rhythm for Sonthofen

Bundling trips is worthwhile from Sonthofen: many guests combine the session with shopping, a doctor's appointment or training in Memmingen. That way, the 62 km trip becomes not an extra errand but a fixed part of the weekly rhythm.

Summer or winter?

In winter, the cold chamber is mainly immune and mood training for guests from Sonthofen, 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 Sonthofen: 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 Sonthofen: 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 Sonthofen who deliberately invest in their healthspan, the chamber is therefore often the weekly fixed point alongside strength and endurance training. With around 62 km to travel from Sonthofen, the effort stays manageable – and the monthly unlimited pass makes several sessions a month easy to plan too.

For Sonthofen that means: booking twice a week, most people notice the difference by the third week – with 55 minutes' travel the effort stays manageable.

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

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 Sonthofen find it more bearable.

Behind Cold Chamber Memmingen isn't an anonymous studio, but a health expert with almost 40 years of professional experience. Guests from Sonthofen are also cared for and briefed in person.
