Popup Sauna Einsiedeln

The Sihlseebadi Roblosen lies just outside Einsiedeln in Egg, right on the Sihlsee — the largest reservoir in Switzerland. In winter, when the lido is otherwise closed, the Zug-based Popup Sauna GmbH sets up a private sauna here, with sweeping views across the lake to the mountains of Einsiedeln and the Ybrig.

Unlike the other Popup locations, there is a single sauna here. It is placed on the terrace of the lido restaurant, which is closed in winter, around 100 metres from the shore depending on the water level. It is the new, in-house developed model with underfloor heating in the sauna and the anteroom and wider benches; between sessions, the seating terrace invites you to take a cool-air bath.

A sauna visit combines well with a winter day by the lake: the lido is on the 8.5-kilometre Sihlsee winter hiking trail and can also be reached on cross-country skis via the Schwedentritt trail. Water for Aufguss sessions and the bucket shower is available at the signposted drinking-water tap on the wall of the lido building. There are no showers — shower at home beforehand —; a Kompotoi is available for sauna guests.
