Finnish Sauna
The Finnish sauna is a traditional form of relaxation where high temperatures of up to 90°C (194°F) and low humidity enable an intense full-body experience. This type of sauna is perfect for those who love strong heat and dry air, seeking deep relaxation and cleansing for the body.
The unique ambiance of the Finnish sauna is enhanced by carefully selected, high-quality wood, appreciated not only for its aesthetic appearance but also for its ability to emit a uniform and comfortable warmth. During the infusion (Löyly in Finnish) with pure water and selected essential oils, an inviting fragrance unfolds, invigorating the senses and calming the mind.
In the Hofer Finnish Sauna, one finds a sanctuary to escape the hustle of everyday life, diving into a world of peace and recuperation. The high heat promotes blood circulation and supports the body's detoxification process, while the mind experiences meditative relaxation.
Bio Sauna
The bio-sauna combines the benefits of traditional sauna experiences with a particularly gentle and natural approach, ideally suited for wellness enthusiasts who prefer milder heat. Characteristic of the bio-sauna are moderate temperatures compared to the Finnish sauna, coupled with increased humidity, creating a particularly pleasant and gentle sauna experience.
The core of this sauna is the harmonious blend of gentle warmth and the delicate scent of natural aromas, derived from a careful selection of herbs and essences. These components are purposefully used to enrich the air and create an environment that relaxes both body and soul. Thus, the bio-sauna is a refuge for the senses, where one can leave the outside world behind and immerse in an oasis of tranquility.
The gentle heat and enriched air beneficially affect the respiratory system and skin, promote circulation, and support the body's natural detoxification process. The mild climate of the bio-sauna is excellent for beginners and those sensitive to high temperatures, without missing out on the beneficial effects of a sauna bath.
Hay sauna
The original Hofer hay sauna is a unique wellness centre feature that stands out for its high air humidity and comparatively low temperatures. The hay sauna’s cool temperatures are perfect for anyone who wishes to perspire lightly without overtaxing their circulatory system.
The respiratory system and skin absorb the active components of herbs and grasses in a warm, humid environment. It truly feels like being high up in the mountains, with the scent of freshly harvested hay. It will feel like summer in the South Tyrolean Alps! The hay allows you to escape from the stress of everyday life and experience, either alone or with others, the picturesque setting typical of a rural mountain farm.
The hay sauna is a unique experience: in addition to being relaxing, the beneficial and advantageous effects of the herbs also help reduce inflammatory discomforts. This creates a particularly pleasant climate that gives this ancient health practice a prominent position in every wellness department. You will feel calm and relaxed, and after a bit, you will feel strong and refreshed.
Technology
The technology behind the Hofer Group's saunas embodies the perfect symbiosis of traditional craftsmanship and state-of-the-art technology, ensuring an unparalleled wellness experience. Our saunas are the result of decades of experience and innovation, with every detail aimed at optimizing efficiency, safety, and comfort.

These systems are user-friendly and enable users to customize their sauna experience, whether by setting specific climate conditions or integrating light and aromatherapy to further enhance wellbeing.
A key feature of Hofer sauna technology is energy efficiency. Advanced insulation materials and optimized heating systems are used to minimize energy consumption while ensuring rapid heating of the sauna. This approach not only supports sustainability but also makes operating the sauna as cost-efficient as possible for our clients.
Integrating safety features is a top priority to ensure a worry-free sauna experience. Automatic shutdown mechanisms and scald protection are just some of the measures implemented for users' protection.

Ventilation
The carefully regulated air exchange and circulation in a hot sauna are necessary to provide a quality, safe atmosphere. Air exchange plays a significant role in the continuous supply of fresh oxygen - especially when the environment becomes very hot.
Our experience in large air handling systems has enabled our technical department to study and design a controlled circulation system that clearly raises the quality of the sauna environment. It increases the oxygen in the chamber to create an immediate sensation of well-being. The oxygen content of the fresh air is directed into the heater, warmed, and then diffused into the chamber. The dry, heated air rises, gradually deposits on the already warm body, gets heavier, cools, descends, and escapes through the ventilation valve of our system, which is placed at the bottom of the chamber.
This approach reduces consumption while improving the user’s sense of well-being.
Finishes
The design of the Hofer Group's sauna surfaces reflects an extraordinary understanding of aesthetics and functionality, evident in every detail. The carefully selected materials and finishes combine naturalness with high-quality craftsmanship to create an atmosphere of calm and exclusivity, meeting our luxury segment customers' high standards.
The use of noble wood plays a central role in our saunas' design. It is valued not only for its natural beauty and warm appearance but also for its ability to promote a healthy and balanced sauna climate. Each type of wood is carefully chosen for its durability, scent, and texture, ensuring it enhances each sauna's unique character. The wood surface treatment is carried out with the utmost care to ensure longevity while preserving its natural radiance.
In addition to wood, we also rely on innovative materials and coatings that are visually appealing and offer practical benefits. Antimicrobial surfaces, non-slip floors, and heat-resistant panels are examples of functional integration that increase safety and hygiene in our saunas. These materials are specifically selected to withstand the high temperatures and humidity of a sauna environment without compromising quality or appearance.
The aesthetic component of our surface design is complemented by a thoughtful selection of colors and textures, creating a harmonious and relaxing environment. Indirect lighting and built-in light elements are strategically used to enhance the natural beauty of the materials and promote a sense of well-being.
