Day Spa in Schruns: both spa worlds for a day

The daily routine almost takes care of itself. The Day Spa opens at 10 am, with the Gipflsee lake above serving as an infinity pool on the roof, surrounded by saunas, relaxation rooms and the sun loungers on the roof terrace, whilst below is the Kupfrbad at the Stöll Spa, with warm lighting, copper details and its own sauna area. As the Day Spa is reserved for guests aged 21 and over, the noise level remains low throughout the day, even during the holiday season. Day guests should bring swimwear and their own spa slippers; clothing is optional in the saunas. The spa reception, open from 11 am to 6 pm, takes bookings for massages and baths and recommends time slots that fit in with lunch. The water activities end at 8 pm; those who wish can linger at the bar. To book treatments on your preferred day, it’s worth taking a look at the treatment overview, as appointments on busy days are allocated first. Experience shows that quiet mornings during the week are generally the most enjoyable time slots, as the spa’s occupancy levels at these times are least likely to leave room for day guestsand treatment appointments are also easier to secure.

The location turns a spa day into a visit to the town. From the hotel on the Litz Promenade, it’s just a few minutes’ walk to Schruns town centre with its cafés and shops, so you can combine a visit to the sauna with a stroll around town. At lunchtime, the hotel’s Stoba restaurants serve à la carte from 1 pm to 4 pm, offering Montafon cuisine made with ingredients from local producers in the valley. Those who’d like to start the day earlier can opt for the Day Spa rate including breakfast; the standard day rate includes an afternoon snack instead. Getting there is also straightforward, with free parking in the underground car park or via the Montafonerbahn to Schruns railway station, from where the Litzpromenade leads directly to the hotel. This turns a day at the spa in Schruns into a whole day off, filled with water, warmth and good food. The Cuisine section, featuring all the restaurants, showcases what makes the hotel’s cuisine so special. When there’s snow on the ground, the view from the roof terrace is particularly worth seeing – especially when steam rises above the heated Gipflsee, the village lies beneath a white blanket of snow, and the sauna provides a welcome transition to the warmth.
