Terrifying for the first ten seconds, remarkable afterward. Good facilitator made it feel safe.
A 45-minute guided session in the lodge's spring-fed cold plunge, with breathwork preparation.
Sourced directly from a mountain spring rather than mechanically chilled, the plunge sits at a natural 8–10°C year-round.
Breathwork warm-up, then guided immersion with a facilitator present throughout for safety and coaching.
Guests without cardiac conditions who are curious about cold exposure but want proper guidance for a first attempt.
