Summer break
Dear friends of the Lorrainebad sauna
Sauna heat, cool Aare and people – winter was beautiful. It ended for us on March 25 and we are making way for spring and summer at the Lorrainebad. The bathing season starts in mid-May.
Many thanks for the unforgettable encounters. See you again on the sunbathing lawn or next winter (from October 25) in the flickering light of the sauna stove.
