Creating Snowy Spas

Can snow really transform a spa into both an area of well-being for mind and body, and a special place from which to experience the power and many benefits of contact with nature? According to TechnoAlpin Indoor, this is precisely the key to designing spas in line with the latest contemporary trends.

Reflecting an awareness of how water, in all its forms and at every temperature, is the bearer of a profound sense of well-being, the company known for SnowRoom and SnowSky – solutions that allow one to be surrounded by mountain air and snow, and walk under snowfall while remaining in an enclosed space, respectively – has made white snowflakes the true protagonists of this small revolution in the spa sector, making it possible to create multi-sensory pathways that can integrate hot and cold therapy. Using this system, spa pools can feature a silent snowfall above them, recalling the interaction and alternation of hot and cold typical of Northern European saunas, and offer a relaxing and invigorating context at the same time.

Bringing snow inside spas is far from being a strategy aimed simply at creating fascinating visual experiences – it aims to both enrich wellness journeys with a holistic experience of water in all its forms and bring a paradigm shift in the design of well-being contexts. According to TechnoAlpin, it is crucial to integrate elements that are both warming, like saunas and fitness areas, and cooling, like the snow effect, to create relaxation spaces that favor complete rejuvenation of the body. The articulation of the rooms designed by the company creates an immersive experience, comparable to a day under the snow, enhanced by the benefits of a sauna or Turkish bath. A comparison with antiquity comes naturally: just like the Romans were able to elevate the indoor water experience with thermal architecture, the same can now be done with an indoor snow experience.
