Saunaboot Zürich

About

A wood-fired sauna boat you pilot yourself across Lake Zürich — no licence needed — warming by the stove behind panoramic glass before plunging straight into the lake. Sessions run three to four hours for up to six, casting off from the Mythenquai. A private, self-steered take on the lakeside sauna, with the Alps on the horizon.

Good to know

• Wood-fired heat — softer, heavier löyly than electric, and the smell of the stove is part of the room.
• 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.
• Cold plunge available on site — use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
• Bookable as a private session — rent the room for your group rather than sharing with strangers.
• Mobile operator — the sauna travels, so the location is part of the booking. Check the current site before you arrive.
