Sauna Cubes Küsnacht: four sauna cubes on the jetty, and a counter that tells you if there's room

✓ Checked at the source · as of 7 October 2026

From October, four sauna cubes stand on the jetty of the Küsnacht lido. You can't book; instead the website shows a «Steam-O-Meter» of free places — the one thing that matters on a Sunday on Zurich's Gold Coast.

Key takeaway
The Sauna Cubes at the Küsnacht lido open the 2026/27 season on 9 October 2026 at 4 pm. Open Monday to Saturday 4–10 pm, Sunday 10 am–10 pm, 32 places, entry CHF 37 for three hours. No reservations: first come, first served.

Jetty, lake view, bistro and a live counter. The price is at the top end of the survey; the counter makes the lack of bookings bearable.

How we check

Every date comes from the organiser's, the municipality's or the canton's own site — never from an aggregator, never copied over from last year. Next to each source is the date we last read it.

Where only a fixed rule is published, such as the eve of St Nicholas' Day, we work out the date and label it “calculated from the fixed rule”. Anything not yet published stays open — we don't guess.

Something missing or changed? A note below is enough; we check it at the source.
