Healing Thermal Waters From Deep Underground Sources

What could be more magical than soaking in ancient waters that have journeyed through Austria’s mountains for centuries? At Aqua Dome, you’ll experience genuine thermal springs that begin as glacial meltwater 3,000 meters above sea level, then seep through rock layers for 1,865 meters underground. These healing waters emerge naturally at a perfect 40°C, enriched with sulfur and minerals from their deep earth journey.

Your family will love floating weightlessly in pools maintained at comfortable 34-36°C temperatures. The water’s been recognized as therapeutic since the 16th century, when locals first discovered the “Längenfelder Baths.”

Today, this certified mineral spring flows at 3-4 liters per second, filling twelve swimming pools with fresh thermal water that’s refreshed every fifteen minutes, ensuring you’re always bathing in pure, healing mountain waters. With 2,000 m² of aquatic space available, there’s plenty of room for your entire family to enjoy these therapeutic waters together.

Spectacular Floating Bowl Pools With Mountain Views

How do you create an otherworldly spa experience that makes your family feel like they’re floating in space while surrounded by Alpine peaks? You’ll discover the answer at Aqua Dome’s three spectacular bowl-shaped pools that literally levitate above the ground like futuristic spaceships. These floating thermal basins offer your family an unforgettable weightless sensation while you’re surrounded by breathtaking Ötztal Alps panorama.

Each elevated pool provides unique experiences—the sole basin features 5% salt content with underwater music and lighting. The sulphur basin receives fresh spring water every 15 minutes. The massage basin energizes through powerful jets.

You’ll access these floating wonders through a striking glass pyramid, creating an otherworldly experience that perfectly blends cutting-edge architecture with raw Alpine beauty your entire family will treasure. The pools connect seamlessly through a bubbly river, allowing your family to drift from one therapeutic experience to another.
