The Aqua Dome in the Austrian Alps: the "ultimate getaway from the daily grind"

"A spa break always feels like a luxurious getaway, but one thermal spa in the heart of the Austrian Alps has seriously upped the stakes," says Julie Delahaye in the Daily Mirror. The Aqua Dome Tirol Therme Lngenfeld "offers the ultimate getaway from the daily grind thanks to its location in the heart of the Tyrol valley", where it is surrounded by glaciers, mountains and meadows. It is also home to "Gletscherglhen sauna world", a spa measuring more than 2,000 sq m and featuring an array of saunas and steam baths.
