Nothing electrifies the senses and sparks emotions like encountering fresh snow. Whether young or old, it is hard to resist the desire to reach out and touch it, to form a snowball and feel its delicious cold tingle.
The SnowRoom combines the wow-effect of snow with the health benefits of cold. The treatment is based on the concept of contrast therapy: alternating hot and cold, between sauna and snow room, in order to sweat and relax.
In the Finnish tradition, the nourishing warmth of the sauna is always followed by a balancing cold treatment, which is essential to benefit from the alternation of warmth and cold. With the snow room, the guest exits the hot chamber only to transfer into a winter landscape, complete with powder snow.
Dry air refreshes the lungs, as the body cools down gently and very efficiently at -10 degrees C.
The human body can much better tolerate a dry cold than its damp equivalent like a plunge pool, so visitors to the SnowRoom also exit with a genuine feeling of wellbeing.
The benefits of contrast therapy range from a healthy stimulus for the cardiovascular system, a boost for metabolism to a strong immune system. There is a lot to tell about cold and health, learn more at indoor.technoalpin.com
