3. Schwimmbad O-Dorf Innsbruck

indoorswimmingpool #sunbathinglawn #saunaworld #children

For kids, there are two awesome giant slides: the Black Hole slide with a full 107 meters and the Turbo slide at 61 meters deliver loads of action and fun. For the little ones, there’s a baby pool with a cool jungle slide. And the best part: an outdoor pool with underwater lighting and a relaxed palm garden is open all year round.

The water temperatures are pleasantly warm at 30 to 32 °C. However, there are only three swimming lanes — so if you’re looking for serious lap swimming, you’re better off heading to Höttinger Au or Amraser Straße indoor pool.

Wellness lovers won’t be disappointed either. The textile sauna is open from September to April and, together with the new herbal aroma room, two Finnish sauna cabins, a bio sauna, a steam room, Kneipp and plunge pools, infrared cabins, heated loungers, and an FKK sun terrace, offers everything you could wish for. Barrier-free facilities, including a pool lift, ensure that everyone can relax comfortably.

If you get hungry, the Ristorante Pizzeria “La Rosa dei Venti” serves tasty Italian dishes. The atrium with its winter garden is also a great place to unwind. Free parking and even an EV charging station are available.

In summer, things get even better: the large adventure playground for kids and the outdoor pool with a huge sunbathing lawn are real highlights. Fancy a massage? Just book an appointment with Mario Fuchs or Barbara Fischer and treat yourself.

The municipal indoor swimming pool Höttinger Au in Innsbruck is just right for anyone who wants to really push themselves with sport-focused swimming. With the largest pool of all indoor pools in Innsbruck (25 × 16 meters), it offers ideal conditions for serious training.

Six separate lanes are designed for fast, medium, and slower swimmers. With a pleasant water temperature of 26 to 27 °C, training here is genuinely enjoyable. The pool is clearly geared toward lap swimmers, so there are no special leisure or adventure areas for children.

Early birds, take note: on Mondays and Wednesdays, the pool opens at 6:30 a.m. If you’re more in the mood to relax, there’s a spacious 661 m² sun terrace and a solarium. The entire facility is fully barrier-free, making visits easy and accessible for everyone.

And best of all: free parking is available, so getting there is completely hassle-free.

Please note that the teaching pool is only open until 5:00 p.m. (until 3:00 p.m. on weekends). Lane dividers, backstroke flags, and a counter-current system offer excellent training conditions. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, the gallery level is a great place to retreat and switch off.

In summer, the spacious rooftop terrace — both textile and FKK — invites you to sunbathe. In winter, it’s the perfect spot to cool down after a sauna session. The pool is fully barrier-free, including a pool lift, and free parking is available. A handy extra: there’s even a mobile phone charging station on site.

For small snacks or drinks, the Café Bar Sillwerk in the basement level is waiting for you — a nice place to relax after swimming.

The sauna area is especially inviting. The panorama sauna offers stunning views of the Nordkette mountain range. In addition, you’ll find two Finnish saunas, a salt crystal steam room, a bio sauna, a fresh-air room, an infrared cabin, and heated loungers. The 500 m² FKK rooftop terrace is a real highlight for sauna lovers.
