Sauna Utoquai Zurich

An oasis in the city

""Sauna Utoquai" Zurich is an oasis in the city at the southern end of the public baths called Bad Utoquai (known as the "Badi" among its regulars)..."

Wellness is quite popular in central Europe. A two-hour sauna visit is considered equivalent to a day of vacation. Switzerland, with most of its big cities located by lakes or rivers (or both) offers several possibilities.

Sauna Utoquai is housed at the southern end of the public baths called Bad Utoquai (known as the "Badi" among its regulars). Sauna Utoquai is a members-only club, but membership is open to all. The minimum membership period is 3 months and includes unlimited entrance to the facilities: two saunas (one infrared).

The privileged members can enter the lake and relax in the open air throughout the year, regardless of weather. From late September to May, members have the entire ground of the "Badi" at their disposal. During the summer, they have exclusive use of a separate terrace but can also mingle with the crowds in the Badi.

Outdoor relaxation can take several forms: sunbathing during a nice sunny afternoon or gazing at the sunset or the moonlight from the comfort of the 37 degrees of the hot tub.

Moving to Zurich permanently or for a period of at least three months? The option to take a vacation during lunch break, after work or during the weekend exists. In the beginning, it is just relaxation; then, it gradually becomes a lifestyle.

Jazzraum

Mehrspur Tuesday jam

The jazz jam session takes place in a small space, which can't fit more than 40 people, and this gives me the impression of experiencing a private concert.

Stadtgärtnerei

A lush spot in the city

The outside area is also worth a visit. You'll find a beautiful collection of palms and agave in a sandy environment crossed by a water basin with fishes.
