Today I received an e-mail with an interesting question in my Inbox: "Could you please send information on an underground health treatment in Austria that is Radon based and has 4 stages in the treatment, each stage descends further underground and increases the thermal temperature?"
Well, probably most people have never heard about the Gasteiner-Heilstollen which are located near Bad Gastein in Austria, so I hope you will find this useful.
Heilstollen, a German word which means healing cave, is a tunnel system. A special train takes you 2.5km/1.5 miles into the mountain, where the warmth and humidity elevate the body's temperature to 38C/100F. This increases the uptake of radon, one of the noble gases, which accelerates cell metabolism through its short-wave rays.
For more information please visit: http://www.gasteiner-heilstollen.com/en/ or to make your travel arrangements contact SkiEurope at 800-333-5533.
And by the way..Gasteiner-Heistollen also offers Ski-Relax sessions once a week in the winter. Please check with them directly. (In winter 2004-05: every Thursday at 4pm; cost Euros 25)
