Sauna with friends right in the middle of Schaffhausen's old town and on the Rhine
Many can hardly wait for us to announce the next date for the sauna marathon in the year 2027.
Until then, we need a bit more preparation time.
If you cannot wait that long (which we completely understand), we warmly recommend the Lindlisauna Festival!
Sauna festival
On Saturday, 12 September 2026, our sister club Lindlisauna the first sauna festival on the Rhine!
The sauna festival is supported by the Schaffhausen Sauna Marathon Association. Unlike the sauna marathon, the sauna festival has no competitive element or stress whatsoever. We simply enjoy a good time together. The sauna festival is made by sauna lovers for sauna lovers.
Tickets cost 48 francs.
The sauna festival right by the Rhine
All eight saunas in the Lindlisauna and mobile saunas directly on the banks of the Rhine are available to choose from. Aufgüsse, ceremonies, great music and fine drinks await the participants.
From 11:00 to 23:00 we will ensure a great atmosphere, fantastic infusions, delicious food, cool drinks, a cosy ambience and exciting encounters in our new sauna world.
Everything about the sauna marathon
WHAT? sauna marathon
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.
WHERE? Saunas in Schaffhausen and at the Rhine Falls
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.
WHO? Participate as a team, couple or single
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.
WHEN? The date for 2027 is still open.
It is still unclear when the next sauna marathon will take place. We will inform you as soon as we know more.
HOW? Procedure of the sauna marathon
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!
