Winkelbadi Horw — Mietsaunen am See

In summer, the Winkelbadi in Horw is a free lido with a sunbathing area and a restaurant right on the shores of Lake Lucerne, with views of Mount Pilatus and the Stanserhorn. During the colder months, the Winkelbadi restaurant sets up two saunas on the shore: a sauna wagon with a wood-burning stove and, new this season, an electric sauna.

There is no public sauna service here – you hire the entire sauna for your own group of up to six people. You can cool off directly in the lake; swimming is at your own risk. The view from the sauna window looks out over the water.

In the evenings, due to high demand, the Winkelbadi allocates the wood-fired sauna in fixed time slots; during the day and for the electric sauna, you are free to choose your own time. Bookings are made via the contact form on the sauna page — a booking is only confirmed once it has been confirmed, and enquiries are not processed daily. Drinks and snacks are available from the vending machine on site; alcoholic drinks must be ordered in advance.
