Vita Alpina Erlebnis & Wellnessbad

Vita Alpina Erlebnis & Wellnessbad stands at Brander Str. 1, 83324 Ruhpolding, in the Chiemgau district of Upper Bavaria, and presents itself as "Wellness, Sauna und Freibad in Ruhpolding". It has three parts that can be used together: an indoor Erlebnisbad, a Saunalandschaft, and a summer Freibad. The house's signature is the wave pool, which the operator claims as the first in the Bavarian Alps, with waves timed "immer 5 Minuten vor der halben und der ganzen Stunde", and the indoor bath also has a 75-metre adventure slide with light effects. Most of the water is plain heated pool water; the one mineral basin is the Urmeertherme, described as a "33 °C warmes Sole-Außenbecken mit einzigartigem Blick auf die Ruhpoldinger Hausberge" with massage loungers. No spring, well depth or mineralisation figure is published, and the operator does not call the house a Therme beyond that pool's name.

Children's swimming courses run several times a year. The Freibad, open in summer, offers a 50-metre sports pool, a non-swimmer pool with a water slide, diving boards at 1, 3 and 5 metres, a children's paddling pool, a lawn of around 11,000 m², a volleyball court, a boule pitch, a small playground and a kiosk; outdoor-pool visitors may also use the indoor slide.

The sauna landscape has five heat rooms: a Finnish sauna at 90 °C with about 10 % humidity and regular infusions; a Sanarium at 60 °C and 55 % humidity with colour-light therapy, run at 80 °C on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays; a Mühlensauna at 75 °C with 10–30 % humidity, automatic infusion and a salt stone; an outdoor Brechelbad at 55 °C and 45 % humidity with essential oils; and a combined Dampfbad & Aromasalzbad at 46 °C and 100 % humidity. A plunge pool with waterfall, a sauna garden with terrace and lawn, quiet and meditation rooms, a sauna bar and a restaurant complete it. From 19:00 the learner pool is handed over to the sauna area and is textile-free; the rest of the bath is mixed and textile. Sauna visits under 16 require an adult companion.

Opening hours are given as Erlebnisbad daily 10:00–20:00 and Saunalandschaft daily 15:00–21:00, with a winter pattern from 1 October 2026 to 4 April 2027 of Monday to Friday 15:00–21:00 and Saturday, Sunday, holidays and Bavarian school holidays 13:00–21:00; the Freibad opens in summer, daily 10:00–19:00 and until 20:00 in fine weather.
