Finnish saunas in Geneva, Switzerland
kā studio
kā studio is an independent yoga, reformer and floor pilates studio in Eaux-Vives that treats recovery as part of the visit: a sauna and a cold plunge sit alongside the class rooms, with kā kitchen for food afterwards. The studio frames the contrast between hot cabin and a five to ten degree ice bath as a way to release tension and rebalance the nervous system. It is open Monday to Friday 07:00 to 21:00 and at weekends 08:00 to 15:00, at 32 rue du XXXI décembre.
La Banquise
La Banquise is the City of Geneva's winter installation on the Quai Gustave-Ador, a playful lakeside space open to everyone. Four wood-fired saunas seat eight people each and are booked in 60-minute slots for CHF 10 per person, with cold showers between rounds. It runs only in late winter — 28 January to 26 April in 2026 — and opens Wednesday to Sunday from 11am to 9pm. Sessions may be taken in swimwear or in Nordic nudity with a cloth, and bookings are neither changeable nor refundable.
Bains des Pâquis
Run by an association on a pier off the Quai du Mont-Blanc, the Espace Bien-être des Bains has two mixed saunas, a mixed hammam, a women's hammam and a Turkish bath, with cooling straight into Lac Léman. From September 2026 swimsuits and other synthetic fabrics are no longer used in the saunas; thin cotton wraps can be rented. The 2026/27 season runs 20 September to 23 May, Tuesdays are women only, and a single entry costs CHF 22, or CHF 15 on Mondays.
