Day guests

How to book

Book a day pass by phone on +41 81 378 86 86 or by email at wellness@altein.ch. Massages are booked the same way, by phone or email rather than online. The wellness area is on the garden side of the hotel at Alteinstrasse 33, a few minutes on foot from Arosa station.

Opening hours: 08:30 to 19:00, saunas from 14:00

The wellness area is open daily from 08:30 to 19:00, and on Fridays until 21:00, when the Night Spa runs from 19:00 to 21:00 for adults only. The saunas and the steam bath open at 14:00. Sauna infusions run in winter; in summer the saunas stay open without them. If you are coming to swim with children, mornings and early afternoons give you the pool; if the saunas are the reason for your visit, plan to arrive after 14:00.

Indoor pool in Arosa: 18 m at 32 °C

The indoor pool at Altein is open to day guests as well as hotel guests. It is 18 m long and 4.5 m wide, 120 cm deep throughout and kept at 32 °C, with a bubble area inside the pool. The circular lazy river next to it is also 120 cm deep and runs at the same 32 °C, and the cold plunge pool is kept at 18 °C. At 950 m², the wellness area at Altein is one of the largest in Arosa. The page on the indoor pool and lazy river at Altein has more on swimming here.

Saunas, steam bath and infrared cabin

There are two saunas at 90 °C, one textile and one textile-free, so a group with different preferences can each choose. The steam bath runs at 60 °C, and the infrared cabin is adjustable between 30 and 60 °C for a gentler heat. Between rounds, the 18 °C cold plunge and the relaxation area are both part of the day pass. The heat rooms and the massage menu are described in full on the page about sauna, steam and treatments at Altein, Arosa.

Children in the pool and sauna

There is no minimum age for the wellness area. Children up to 12 must be accompanied by an adult, and small children wear swim nappies in the pool. Children may also use the saunas and the steam bath when an adult is with them, so a family can use the whole wellness area together. The Friday Night Spa, from 19:00 to 21:00, is the one time the spa is for adults only. Children aged 4 to 15 pay the child day pass of CHF 19 in summer and CHF 24 in winter.

Massages and treatments from CHF 75

Massages take place in 2 treatment rooms and last from 25 to 80 minutes. A 25-minute back and neck massage costs CHF 75, a 50-minute classic full body massage CHF 120, and an 80-minute classic full body or hot stone massage CHF 180. A sport massage costs CHF 85 for 25 minutes and CHF 130 for 50 minutes. There are 3 therapists in winter and 2 in summer, so book your massage when you book the day pass.

A spa afternoon after time outdoors

Because the saunas open at 14:00, a day in Arosa splits naturally into a morning outside and an afternoon in the wellness area. In summer, our page on swimming in Arosa covers the Strandbad Untersee lido. If you are coming up for the day, the Rhaetian Railway takes 1 h 03 from Chur to Arosa, and the travel and parking information for Arosa covers the rest.

Current hours and the full facility list are on the wellness and spa page for Altein, Arosa, and answers on the pool, saunas and children are collected in the Arosa FAQ.
