2025 Aufguss Freestyle Masters

Top performers Unique Infusions Since 2017, we have been searching for the best freestyle infusion master in Europe at the "Masters Freestyle Aufguss." In the final, held at the Kristall Therme Kochel am See, 20 stars of the infusion scene (ten women and ten men) compete for the coveted Kristall Trophy. Competition of Sauna Masters Spectacular waving techniques, dance choreographies, and a lot of passion for a unique infusion performance are always included. At the "Masters Freestyle Aufguss," the focus is not only on the competition but also on the development of techniques, learning from each other, and inspiration through exchange with other infusion masters. unlimited Creativity Each competition infusion lasts 15 minutes and consists of 4 rounds. In the first two rounds, each sauna master chooses a song to which both must perform. In the 3rd round, the two must cooperate. Before the infusion, they have some preparation time to choose a song together and create a choreography. The 4th round is the final battle: here, it’s all or nothing. Both must freestyle to music they do not know. Breathtaking acrobatics at over 80°C make the "Masters Freestyle Aufguss" a unique extreme sports event.
