Schwimmbad Wolfensberg Winterthur — Sauna

The ‘Wolfi’ is situated on the slopes of the Wolfensberg in Winterthur-Veltheim, with sweeping views across the city into the Tösstal valley. Where, in 1910, the Association for the Promotion of Public Health set up a sunbathing area on an old quarry site, the current outdoor swimming pool was built between 1935 and 1937 in the ‘Neues Bauen’ style, designed by Furrer & Merkelbach. Today, the Veltheim Swimming Pool Co-operative runs the facility.

The sauna is small and intimate: a cabin for six people with a relaxation room, which, depending on the time slot, is operated as a classic Finnish sauna or a mild bio-sauna. Unlike the outdoor pool, which is only open from May until the Day of Prayer, the sauna is open all year round.

Admission is also covered by the municipal ‘Sportpass Relax’, which is also valid in the saunas at the Töss, Wülflingen and Elsau swimming pools, as well as in Winterthur’s indoor and outdoor pools. In summer, after a sauna session, you can enjoy the 25-metre chrome-steel pool, and the Lido Lupo restaurant with its terrace is open during the swimming season. Bath towels can be hired on site.
