Sauna Hallenbad Weyermannshaus Bern

The sauna is situated on the ground floor of the Weyermannshaus indoor swimming pool in the west of Bern and is run by the City of Bern’s Sports Department. The sports and leisure complex, comprising an outdoor pool, an indoor swimming pool and an artificial ice rink, was built in 1958 by architect Hans Beyeler and extended to its current form in 1971.

A compact, straightforward sauna area: the nude section has its own changing room and is thus separated from the swimming area. There are two relaxation rooms for resting — one open and one dimly lit. Admission includes access to the indoor swimming pool with a 25-metre pool (approx. 27 °C) and a teaching pool (approx. 32 °C).

The winter of 2026/27 will be its last: with construction of the new indoor swimming pool and ice rink set to begin, provisionally in April 2027, the Weyermannshaus Sauna will close — according to the Sports Department, Bern’s last municipal sauna. Unused entries from 10-visit sauna passes will be refunded at the indoor swimming pool ticket offices. Until the end of March 2027, there will also be a mobile sauna van (Saunaare, bookable online) at the Weyermannshaus outdoor pool, complete with a wooden tub for cooling off.
