Aqua Dome spa offers one of Austria’s most iconic images. It’s a beautifully designed spa complex that blends exceptionally well with the high mountain peaks surrounding the Ötztal Valley. There’s nothing quite like indulging in the heated pools, breathing fresh mountain air, and gazing at the snow-capped peaks of the Alps. The Aqua Dome boasts 12 pools, 7 saunas, 4 restaurants, and a variety of activities for individuals, couples, and families. Adjacent to the spa center is a luxurious and indulgent hotel, making it a wonderful option for a pampering spa vacation in Tyrol (though not a cheap one).
