Sportanlagen Obere Au Chur — Saunalandschaft

At the Obere Au, Chur’s municipal sports and events facilities operate an indoor swimming pool, an outdoor swimming pool, the Aquamarin outdoor adventure pool (heated to 35 °C), ice rinks, a weight room and group fitness classes — as well as a sauna complex that is open all year round. The complex is situated on the Mühlbach and along National Cycle Route No. 2.

The layout combines separate and mixed-use areas: women and men each have their own Finnish sauna with a relaxation room and plunge pool, alongside which is a mixed-use area — and all areas are freely accessible. Several times a day, the sauna team places a ball of ice drizzled with essential oils on the stove; Wednesdays are ‘Aufguss’ days, featuring celebratory, classic and ‘time-out’ Aufguss sessions, as well as salt scrubs. You can cool down and catch your breath in the leafy open-air sauna courtyard with its waterfall.

The sauna admission fee includes access to the indoor pool, outdoor pool and Aquamarin warm-water pool, as well as the car park charge — there is no time limit. From 2026, free sauna towels will no longer be provided: please bring your own cotton towel (at least 70 × 180 cm; no hammam or microfibre towels) or hire one at the indoor pool ticket office. Children can be looked after at the ‘Ameisenland’ crèche whilst you are in the sauna; the on-site sports restaurant offers a daily changing menu.
