Lugar perfecto para relajarse tras una excursión por el glaciar.3 piscinas calientes a distinta temperatura.Lleva monedas de 2$ para poder usar la taquilla.Las duchas del vestuario no son muy cómodas

Don't pay for the lockers in the changing rooms. Take your bag with you and put it in the shelves under the benches next to the pools.

If you've got a BBH card, you'll get a 5$ discount on the Standard entrance fee. Do beware of the lockers, they don't give the coins back. The 3 pools were very nice, at 36C, 38C and 40C.

Smaller than I thought it'd be, with just 3 temperatures, but nice after a hike!

Go nude in a private pool so you don't need to worry about a wet bathing suit afterwards!

Get a private pool. Not that much more expensive but it feels so much nicer. Towels are free. Very nice showers too!

Free entry for all customers at the Franz Josef Glacier Guided Tours. Not bad but a bit too crowded!

Kind of a rip-off. In addition to the very high entry fer you get charged 5 extra dollars for towels and 2 for a locker. Only three small pools, nothing to see or do here.
