Good to Know
Healing Climate Tunnel in Bad Bleiberg - Unique BLEIB BERG Therapy Experience
The high humidity of the healing tunnel in Bad Bleiberg and the consistently cool interior temperature create a unique atmosphere, enabling us to activate our respiratory self-healing powers: The airways become clear, each breath is experienced deeply and consciously. The tunnel therapy aids respiratory diseases and conveys the grounding sensation of being near a waterfall or mountain peak. A stay in the healing climate tunnel leaves a lasting impression of contemplation. An atmosphere we also experience during mountain yoga. In the complete silence and the soothing air at the heart of the rock, we align body and mind with targeted breathing.
The Effects of the Healing Climate Tunnel
With its constant 8°C and a humidity of 99%, it has provided a recognized healing climate since 1998: A stay in the healing tunnel alleviates respiratory diseases, allergies, and stress.
Due to the high humidity, a dust- and allergen-free environment is created. The pure air facilitates breathing. It acts anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, and mucolytic. The body can recover from burdens such as dust or pollen in the healing climate tunnel and strengthen the immune system. Tunnel therapy is suitable for chronic and recurrent respiratory diseases. Feel the effect with every calm breath and experience this very special part of our programs STAY HEALTHY, STAY VITAL, STAY ACTIVE, and STAY STRONG.
Because what remains is the effect.
The BLEIB BERG programs include at least one tunnel ride, which is medically prescribed and can also be booked additionally.
Prices for tunnel therapy: approx. €39 (approx. UK £34 / USD $42) per tunnel ride

The staff were very friendly and helpful and the therapies were excellent, the sauna landscape was varied and the swimming area was large enough with massage beds and neck shower. My expectations were more than fulfilled and I can only recommend a stay at Bleib Berg.

Hotel
From the outside, the hotel was not quite as appealing and rather plain, but inside everything was very tastefully furnished.
Service
All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
Treatments
Very extensive range of treatments - there is something for everyone.
Board type
The cuisine was very diet-oriented and there were no alcoholic drinks, which was somewhat restrictive for guests who had a slightly different focus on their stay.
