Janne and I visited Interlaken, and stayed at the Grand Hotel Beau Rivage. A grand, old style hotel, and I of course also wanted to visit their pool & saunas department.
The pool was nice but basic. The two saunas (dry and steam) were in a separate area. The dry sauna was quite good. And once again there was a bit of figuring out what the local customs were. The signs indicated that the sauna areas were mixed & naked only, although on some days the customers seemed to use swimming pants. Whatever works, for people I guess. In any case, I was glad that I got to a sauna after cold and sometimes soaking wet days on the slopes.
