The process for guests from Waal

How it works!

Before you set off from Waal, 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.

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: Stress & Sleep

Winding down after work – cold therapy for guests from Waal

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 Waal report calmer, deeper sleep the night after. Coming from work in Waal, plan on about an hour in total for travel, the session and the rest period afterwards – it's around 41 minutes each way.

  • An endorphin kick and a clear head
  • Deeper sleep the night after the session
  • Interrupting stress patterns
  • More calm in everyday life
  • Compact: three minutes instead of a long wellness session

Practical tips for Waal

How to plan your sessions

Rhythm for Waal

Guests travelling from Waal 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 Ostallgäu district: the chamber is a constant -110 °C. Especially on hot summer days, guests from Waal 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 Waal: 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: Sport & Recovery

Recover faster – the cold chamber for athletes from Waal

Anyone in Waal 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 Ostallgäu district schedule the session straight after training or the day after competing – with around 41 minutes' drive from Waal, that fits easily into a weekly routine.

  • Less muscle soreness after tough sessions
  • Shorter breaks between two training sessions
  • Support for irritation in tendons and joints
  • A fresh feeling before competition days
  • Combines well with physiotherapy and strength training

Is Cryotherapy at -110 °C dangerous?

What do I need to bring from Waal?

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.

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 Waal find it more bearable.

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