*The acronym FINTA stands for women, intersex, non-binary, trans and agender people. FINTA Day is aimed at people who self-identify as such – in other words, anyone who is patriarchally discriminated against because of their gender identity. Cis male people (who were assigned the male gender at birth and identify as such) are welcome on all other days.

Solidarity Entry
We all have different privileges and financial resources. For this reason, there will be a new admission category at the Lorrainebad sauna this season:
Those who can afford to give more have the option of paying an additional CHF 5.00 on top of the admission price when visiting the sauna (Admission: CHF 30; Reduced admission: CHF 20; 10-visit pass: amount of your choice). This allows other people who cannot afford admission to enjoy reduced-price or free access to the Lorrainebad sauna.

Health
Wenn du Krankheitssymptome wie starken Husten, eine Erkältung oder Grippe hast, bitten wir Dich, nicht in die Sauna zu kommen. Vom Saunabesuch wird ausserdem abgeraten bei chronischen Beschwerden, insbesondere bei problematischem Bluthochdruck, Herz-Kreislauf- und Nierenerkrankungen. Schwangeren wird tendenziell vom Saunabesuch abgeraten. Bitte erkundige dich im Zweifelsfall bei deiner Ärztin oder deinem Arzt.
By the way
Reservations are not accepted. Our website provides information on current occupancy at the Lorrainebad sauna—so you don’t walk all the way to the Aare for nothing.
No private groups | We are a public sauna in a public place, so our operation is also public whenever possible.
