How the Thermal Trifecta Works

Step 1: Heat + Cold Activation

Begin by gently waking up circulation and calming the nervous system.

Sauna | 15–20 minutes
Gentle heat helps regulate stress-related hormones, ease muscle stiffness, and support healthy circulation. Regular sauna use has been linked to reduced inflammation, improved recovery, and long-term cardiovascular support.

Bucket Plunge
Follow with a brief cold bucket plunge to refresh the body and sharpen mental focus. Cold exposure supports muscle recovery, metabolic activation, reduced inflammation, and overall resilience.

Hydrate well before moving to the next step.

Step Two: Oxygenated Soaking

Proceed downstairs to the oxygen-treated pools.

These pools are infused with nano oxygen bubbles smaller than skin pores, allowing for deeper hydration and enhanced cellular recovery. Guests often describe the experience as lighter, smoother, and deeply restorative. This step helps prepare muscles and tissues for your spa treatment.

Step 3: Geothermal Recovery

After your spa treatment, continue your wellness journey outdoors.

Soak in the warm geothermal mineral pools to deepen relaxation and encourage circulation. Then, reset the nervous system with a cold plunge in the Vitality Pool or Cold Rush river pool.

Focus on calm, steady breathing to help your body adapt to the cold and return to balance. Continue soaking as desired, stay hydrated, and be mindful of the strong alpine sun at this altitude.
