Iron Mountain Hot Springs is expanding to become Colorado’s premier wellness destination.

The Sauna Summit, a major expansion designed to be Glenwood Springs’ most complete hot and cold therapy experience, is almost finished. 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.

The new heat therapy environments are each inspired by a global bathing tradition: Steam rooms, traditional dry, red light clay, hot-cold aromatherapy, and salt saunas inspired by Turkish hammams, Finnish barrel saunas, Korean haneungmaks, Russian banyas, and Polish salt rooms. Each space will have its own temperature, humidity, architectural styles, building materials, aromatherapy, and chromotherapy components. Alongside them, three plunge pools will offer cold immersion, warm potassium bathing, and deep magnesium heat for powerful contrast and a variety of specialized circuits and experiences.

“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 five self-guided crafted Journeys, tailored to different goals such as muscle recovery, stress relief, sleep support, and detox. While these expert-designed paths allow you to move at your own pace, a trained team member is always available to help guide you through the experience, ensuring you get the most out of every soak, sweat, and plunge.

The Sauna Summit is scheduled to open in early 2026. Until then, all Iron Mountain Hot Springs pools remain open and fully operational.
