day reservations

Day reservations guarantee you entry to Kristall Therme Kochel am See on the booked day or days (e.g., with the 4-day bundle), even in the event of an admission stop due to high demand. However, they are only valid in combination with a valid admission ticket for the respective day and do not include a guarantee of access to a competition infusion (Aufguss).

Admission tickets can be purchased on-site or in the online shop. Tickets that have already been purchased (e.g., promotional tickets) may also be used. Please bring your day reservation and your admission ticket with you on the day of the event, or purchase your admission ticket upon arrival.

The day reservation becomes invalid once you enter the spa on the booked day. By purchasing, you accept the General Terms and Conditions as well as the house and bathing regulations. Cash payment or the purchase of additional vouchers is excluded.

FAQs

No. In general, you only need an admission ticket. However, a day reservation guarantees entry to the spa, even if temporary admission is suspended due to overcrowding.

Usually not. In most cases, admission is only suspended for a few hours until the situation has calmed down. We will announce the reopening on our social media channels (Facebook and Instagram).

No, a day reservation does not guarantee a place in a competition aufguss. Please visit our info point on the day of your visit for more information. However, a day reservation guarantees entry to the spa, even if temporary admission is suspended due to overcrowding.

With your admission ticket, you will receive aufguss tokens. These tokens can be exchanged for time slot tickets at the info point. There, you can choose your preferred competition aufguss of the day and receive a time slot ticket with guaranteed participation.

With a day ticket, you will receive two aufguss tokens*.
With a 4-hour or 2-hour ticket, you will receive one aufguss token*.

For competition sauna infusions in the Herzogstand Sauna, you need a time slot ticket. No time slot ticket is required for the show sauna infusions. For more information, please visit our info point on the day of your visit.
*While supplies last.

For competition sauna infusions, seats are first allocated to guests with a valid time slot ticket.
If any seats remain available afterward, they will be offered to guests without a time slot ticket.
This means that with a bit of luck – and by arriving early – you may still be able to take part in a competition sauna session even without a time slot ticket.

Visit Website competition 18. – 21.03.26 The event location is in the Kristall Therme Kochel am See. In addition to the “Herzogstand” competition sauna, the thermal baths offer a lot of things worth seeing. The direct view of the surrounding Alpine panorama and the location on Lake Kochel make every visit a unique relaxation break. Our Herzogstand sauna is the venue for the event. The sauna has space for 300 guests and offers the ideal backdrop: a view of the lake and in the background you can see the Herzogstand - the “local mountain” in Kochel. The special feature of the sauna are the two illuminated ovens in the middle. The benches are positioned so that guests sit around the stoves and have a direct view of the sauna infusions, but also of the panorama in the background, which is made possible by the large window front.

Top performers Unique Infusions Since 2017, we have been searching for the best freestyle infusion master worldwide 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.
