Welcome to your sauna!
Pampa (pam.pa):
A noun describing vast, natural expanses, open and silent.
A place where the gaze stretches far and time slows down.
Pampa Sauna was born from a personal need to slow down, to reconnect with simple, genuine sensations, far from the imposed rhythm of everyday life. A project imagined as a refuge, in harmony with the Pyrenees: a warm, respectful space, designed to be shared.
Inspired by the vastness of natural landscapes and by places where one feels far from everything, Pampa Sauna naturally finds its place in the heart of the Pyrenees: a land of relief, silence, and contrasts, where nature sets the pace.
In this raw and soothing environment, far removed from a hotel spa, the sauna regains its true meaning. Nothing superfluous. Just a moment for yourself: to release tension, calm the mind, and reconnect with the body. In three words: slow down, breathe, and refocus.
and its many benefits
Physical vitality
The sauna helps relax muscles, relieve tension, and promote recovery after physical exertion. The heat improves blood circulation, which enhances oxygenation of the tissues and can help reduce certain joint or muscle pains.
Immune system
Alternating hot and cold experiences strengthen the body’s defenses. The body learns to better handle temperature changes and stimulates the production of white blood cells. This can help reduce the frequency of common winter ailments.
Skin Radiance
Dry heat opens the pores and stimulates sweating, allowing for the natural elimination of impurities. The skin becomes softer, clearer, and regains a natural glow. The sauna’s exfoliating effect is also valued for its purifying action.
Mental Serenity
The sauna is a powerful tool for relaxation: it reduces stress, calms the mind, and promotes deeper sleep. The heat ritual encourages slowing down, refocusing, and giving yourself a moment of pause away from the daily pace.

2 saunas for twice the pleasure!

The Gondola
Grandma knows how to give you a good heat boost!
The Iconic Gondola Sauna:
A former St-Lary gondola, this “grandma” first rolled off the factory line in 1978. After retiring in 2023, we gave her a new lease on life.
She accommodates 3 (to 4) guests and offers an exceptional 360-degree view. Equipped with a Harvia wood-fired stove, she ensures the perfect temperature with precise control at every moment. Fully lined with “Thermo” wood, it’s intensely smooth and completely chemical-free.
Easy to transport, you can rent her for your events! Cottage owners, consider it for your guests…
The Barrel
To be enjoyed without moderation!
Temperatures between 70 and 90°C
This is the flagship of Pampa Sauna. Featured even in our logo (yes, really—take a closer look), it embodies the very essence of the sauna experience.
With 6 seats, it allows you to comfortably share a convivial moment while enjoying the view through its large panoramic window. Equipped with a Harvia wood-fired stove, you’ll experience the joy of gentle yet intense heat while watching the snow fall outside.
It might move with the seasons. To find it, just look up—high, high up in your favorite mountains!
