Seebad Enge

About

A lake bathing pavilion on the Mythenquai with wooden saunas that open straight onto Lake Zürich and a view down the water to the Alps. The sauna runs year-round — including through winter, when the appeal is heat then a ladder into the cold lake — separate from the summer swimming season. A genuine Zürich 'badi' rather than a spa: simple, lakeside, and local.

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.
• Cold plunge available on site — use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
• Urban venue — sits inside the city rather than at a coast or lake, so you can fit a session into a day in town.

Hours

Sauna year-round: Mon 11am–11pm (women), Tue–Sat 11am–11pm, Sun 10am–10pm
