What is a thermal experience?
For those unfamiliar with the term, the thermal experience originated in Scandinavia. With a climate where colder temperatures coexist with the warm water of numerous natural geysers, they have the perfect environment to exploit a method of relaxation based on thermal contrast.
The thermal experience creates deep relaxation, in addition to promoting better blood circulation and enabling the body to eliminate toxins with the alternation between hot, cold and a period of rest.

Immerse your body in a pool of cold water. The contrast in temperature will release adrenaline and give you a feeling of well-being.

The warm environments will envelop you and quickly put you in amazing comfort. As for the cold baths, essential for bringing a significant thermal change, you'll be able to test the spirits of your group members. The terms "cold" and "polar" are not just used for aesthetic purposes. 3, 2, 1... Here we go! But the best part is, once the short immersion is over, it's time to lay down and let the body and mind rest completely. To reap the maximum benefits, it's recommanded to repeat the cycle a few times.
Nordic baths and spa experiences are great activities to enjoy with friends, as a couple or even solo, in the most relaxing surroundings. Whether you choose a spa in the countryside or a more urban setting, these experiences are guaranteed to make you lose track of time!
