Lucerne: sauna with lake and mountain views
Lucerne sits on Lake Lucerne, surrounded by Pilatus and the Rigi — ideal conditions for saunas with a view. In recent years, private saunas that you rent by the hour have appeared on the lakeshore. Add large wellness areas in fitness parks, indoor-pool saunas and a bath on the Rigi. All details come from the venues, as of November 2026; you will find current hours and prices on the detail pages.
On the lake
Popup Sauna at the Lido
On the sandy beach of the Lido Luzern stand six private barrel saunas from Popup Sauna, each for up to six people, with a view of Pilatus. You book by the hour online and get in with a PIN code. Individuals are not admitted, and without an accompanying adult, entry is only from 18. To cool off, you head into the lake. A second Popup Sauna is at the Sursee lido on Lake Sempach.
Winkelbadi Horw
At the Winkelbadi Horw you rent a wood-fired sauna trailer or an electric sauna right on the lake, privately for up to six people. The season runs from late October to early April; swimming in the lake is at your own risk.
In the city
Fitnesspark National
The Fitnesspark National on Haldenstrasse offers over 3000 square metres of wellness in “1001 Nights” style: mixed, women-only and men-only sauna zones, snow grottos, a salt lounge and a heated outdoor pool.
Fitnesspark Allmend
Next to the Swissporarena is the Fitnesspark Allmend with around 840 square metres of wellness: an octagonal Aufguss sauna, a salt lounge, a cold room with an ice wall and an open-air Kneipp garden.
Sauna garden by the pond in Ebikon
In the ACTIV FITNESS Ebikon studio at the Mall of Switzerland there are four heat rooms, including a mountain-hut sauna, and a sauna garden by its own pond.
Neighbourhood saunas
At the Mooshüsli pool in Emmen you will find a Finnish sauna at 85 degrees, a sanarium and an aroma steam room; Tuesday is men’s day, Thursday women’s day. At the Hofmatt indoor pool in Meggen there is a Finnish sauna with women’s and men’s evenings — cash only.
A trip up the Rigi
At 1450 metres lies the Mineralbad & Spa Rigi Kaltbad, designed by Mario Botta. The crystal bath lies beneath the village square, the outdoor pool at 35 degrees offers mountain views, and the Finnish herbal sauna hosts Aufguss sessions. Important: swimwear is required in the spa too. The Rigi is car-free; you go up by train, or by boat and then train. You will also find the bath in the Thermal baths section.
In summer: Lido and Ufschötti
In summer, the people of Lucerne head for the lake. The Lido lake lido is the classic, the Ufschötti a park with a sandy beach almost 200 metres long, just a few minutes from the station. If you prefer a pool, go to the Allmend indoor pool.
