Sauna les P'tits Baigneurs
Boudry, Switzerland
About
A wood-fired barrel sauna for six sits on the public beach at Boudry, on the shore of Lake Neuchâtel. Sessions are booked by the hour and the lake supplies the cold water. The sauna runs as a winter offer, from early October to the end of March.
Good to know

- Direct lake access: most visitors plunge straight into the water between sauna rounds.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- Set in nature, away from the city, so bring a car or plan the transfer in advance.
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
