ACTIV FITNESS Stans

ACTIV FITNESS Stans is situated on Riedenmatt in Stans, the main town of Nidwalden. This Category 3 gym, part of the Migros fitness chain, boasts stunning views: through the large windows, you can look out over the Bürgenstock and Mount Pilatus whilst you work out.

You can also enjoy the view after a sauna session — the relaxation room in the spacious wellness area has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the mountains. There are no separate sauna-only tickets; the wellness area is included in the day pass and in most membership plans, and it is mixed-gender every day.

Those working out will find 140 piece of equipment, a Milon circuit and an EGYM circuit, as well as over 37 classes per week. The Children’s Paradise looks after the little ones on weekdays and on Sunday mornings. With a Category 3 membership, you can train and use the sauna facilities at all ACTIV-FITNESS studios across Switzerland; a supervised trial session is free of charge.
