Regenerating in the Dolomites: discover the benefits of our wellness center in Canazei

Here in Val di Fassa, we are well acquainted with a special sensation: the pleasant "tiredness" that arrives after an intense day. It is the fatigue felt after covering kilometers on the path leading to Lake Antermoia, or after testing your muscles on the snowy slopes of Ciampac.

It is in that moment, when the sun sets behind the peaks of the Catinaccio and the air becomes crisp, that the body asks for a break. For guests at Hotel Cristallo, returning to their room is not the only moment of relaxation. They can indulge in a true ritual that enriches their holiday thanks to access to our wellness center.

The heat that heals: Finnish sauna and sauna

The beating heart of muscle recovery is heat. In our wellness center, you will find the Finnish sauna, a classic of Nordic tradition that offers extraordinary benefits for those who practice sports in the mountains.

The high temperature (between 80° and 90°C) combined with a dry environment promotes intense sweating. This process is fundamental for:

• Disposing of lactic acid: heat dilates blood vessels, improving oxygen flow to muscles and accelerating recovery after demanding treks like that of Lake Fedaia or the Viel del Pan.
• Relaxing contractions: after carrying a backpack for hours or skiing all day, muscles tend to stiffen. Dry heat melts away tension, relieving minor back and shoulder aches.
• Deep detox: The skin frees itself from accumulated impurities and toxins, appearing immediately brighter and more elastic.

For those who prefer milder temperatures, we also offer a "normal" sauna (at more contained temperatures), ideal for those who want to approach this world gradually or for those seeking less intense but equally effective relaxation.

A deep breath: the Turkish bath

If the sauna works with dry heat, the Turkish bath plays with humidity, which reaches 100% here. Upon entering, you are enveloped by a cloud of steam that calms the mind and isolates you from the outside world.

At high altitude, the air is often dry and cold, especially in winter. The Turkish bath thus becomes a panacea for the respiratory tract. The hot steam hydrates the mucous membranes and helps you breathe better, giving a sensation of deep "cleanliness". It is the perfect place to close your eyes, forget the fatigue of the ascent, and let the steam eliminate every residue of stress, preparing you for a night of deep sleep.

Lightness in water: our indoor pool

Water is the element that, more than any other, gives a sense of lightness.
Our wellness center houses an indoor pool that represents a true refuge for the body and mind.

After a day in which physical effort has put joints to the test, walking on rocky terrain or skiing, immersing yourself in water gives immediate relief. The water supports the body's weight, allowing the spine to stretch and legs to regain lightness.

It is a versatile space, ideal for a few muscle-loosening strokes, but also perfect for families, where children can play safely while parents enjoy a moment of peace by the pool, perhaps before dinner.

A ritual for body and mind

Living the mountain experience means immersing yourself in wild nature, facing elevation changes, and filling your eyes with beauty, but it also means knowing how to take care of yourself.
Wellness, here at Hotel Cristallo, is not an accessory luxury, but the right completion of your adventure in the Dolomites.

After regenerating your muscles in the sauna and finding lightness in the pool, you will be ready to taste the delights of our restaurant and, above all, you will be charged with energy to face a new, splendid day discovering Val di Fassa.
