What is Aufguss?
Aufguss is a sauna ritual that originated in Germany and Austria in the 1990s. The word Aufguss is German and means "to pour on."
The ritual typically consists of three rounds, where the sauna master uses three different essential oils. The oils are mixed with crushed ice and placed on the hot stones in the sauna. This releases aromatic steam, which the sauna master circulates around the room using towel techniques and fans.
Between Aufguss sessions, you can take a dip in the cold mountain waters of Kvitåvatn. The refreshing ice bath boosts energy levels, provides an adrenaline rush, and strengthens the body.
