ACTIV FITNESS Biel Elite

ACTIV FITNESS Biel Elite is situated in the Hotel Elite building on Bahnhofstrasse, right in the centre of Biel. Spanning just over 1,100 m², this Category 3 gym, part of the Migros fitness chain, offers 68 piece of equipment, plenty of free weights and over 40 classes a week.

A special feature for sauna-goers: in addition to the mixed wellness area, there is a separate ladies’ area with a bio-sauna — so women can enjoy the sauna amongst themselves every day. In the mixed-use area, the steam room is designed as a caldarium with essential oils and light therapy; to cool down, there are cold showers and foot baths, whilst relaxation rooms – one of which features a relaxation video – are available for resting.

The sauna here is not a standalone spa, but part of the gym: there are no separate sauna entry tickets, but the wellness area is included in the day pass and in most membership plans. The Children’s Paradise looks after the little ones every morning (places can be booked online). With a Category 3 membership, you can train and use the sauna facilities at all ACTIV-FITNESS studios across Switzerland; a trial session is free of charge.
