Once a year, the sauna world comes together in Schaffhausen (Switzerland).

Mobile saunas and hot water pools are set up in Schaffhausen for the sauna marathon. Historic old town fountains will be heated for bathing. The public indoor pools and saunas, hotel facilities and selected private facilities are also open.

Similar to an orienteering race, each team should visit as many locations as possible. Contrary to the name of the event, however, the sauna marathon is not about speed, but about socialising and enjoyment. 

The sauna marathon is also the perfect opportunity to visit and experience the beautiful town of Schaffhausen! The saunas and pools are set up in particularly beautiful locations such as the historic old town, on the picturesque banks of the Rhine, on Schaffhausen's landmark Munot and now also at the Rhine Falls.

At the Rhine Falls - the largest waterfall in Europe - a boat trip awaits the enthusiastic participants. 

The sauna marathon is most fun as a group. We therefore recommend taking part as a team. However, individual tickets are also available. It is possible to join a team until registration.

It is still unclear when the next sauna marathon will take place. We will inform you as soon as we know more.

At the start, each team receives a map with all the locations with saunas and pools, which can then be visited in any order from 10 am to 6 pm.

Thanks to numerous partnerships, the sauna marathon is also a culinary journey and participants can look forward to great infusions and ceremonies!
