The Sauna Summit is now open!

From skiing to hiking to snowshoeing and more, mountain days demand a lot from your body. The Sauna Summit is now officially a part of our WorldSprings Premier experience, designed to reset your body and quiet your mind through restorative thermal rituals.

Iron Mountain Hot Springs has expanded and is now one of Colorado’s premier wellness destinations.

The Sauna Summit is a major expansion designed to be Glenwood Springs’ most complete hot and cold therapy experience. Complete with five globally-inspired saunas and three dedicated contrast therapy pools, The Sauna Summit is built for rest, recovery, and wellness. The Sauna Summit is an exclusive adult-only experience and is included with the purchase of a Premier Access (21+) pass.

Your best reset, reimagined. The Sauna Summit is the only place in the US with these 5 globally-inspired saunas, right in the heart of the Rockies. This unique new area is built around contrast bathing, the practice of alternating heat and cold to stimulate body and mind, supporting circulation, nervous system balance, muscle recovery, and overall vitality. It is one of the most effective tools for recovery and regulation — now in a single, thoughtfully designed destination, right here in Colorado.
Each sauna is inspired by a global bathing tradition, such as Turkish hammams, Finnish barrel saunas, Korean hanjeungmaks, Russian banyas, and Polish salt rooms. Every space is a distinct sensory environment defined by its own architectural style, temperature, and humidity. To complement the saunas, three specialized plunge pools offer cold immersion, warm potassium bathing, and deep magnesium heat. Together, these elements allow for powerful contrast therapy and a variety of curated wellness circuits designed for deep restoration.

“The Sauna Summit is all about providing our guests with powerful tools for their well-being and longevity,” says General Manager Aaron McCallister. “We are excited to bring more wellness options to our property.”

Guests can choose from one of five self-guided Journeys tailored to specific goals like muscle recovery, stress relief, sleep support, and detox, or move through the saunas and plunge pools at their leisure. A team member is always available to ensure each guest gets the most out of every soak, sweat, and plunge.
