New Year's ice swimming in Lake Achensee

Start the new year feeling refreshed and full of energy. Dive into the clear waters of Lake Achen and feel the invigorating power of the cold.

Ice bathing or cold water bathing strengthens the immune system and has a positive effect on mental well-being. A brief exposure to cold trains the blood vessels, which constrict and dilate upon immersion, while the alternation between cold and warmth further stimulates the immune system. Upon immersion, adrenaline and endorphins are released, creating a euphoric sense of happiness and revitalizing both body and mind.

A theoretical introduction and practical exercises are followed by a group ice bath in the lake.

Please bring a hat, towel/bathrobe, and water shoes.
