Open Gus

What is Open Gus?

“Open Gus” is your opportunity to experience the Glaecier facilities for a price of 399 DKK, without the need for a membership. These Open Gus sessions take place on Tuesday nights  6.30-8.00 PM and 8.30-10.00 PM. A Gus session is a traditional practice involving pouring water onto hot sauna stones, resulting in a burst of steam and intense heat. This practice is known to promote relaxation, detoxification and improved blood circulation. Click “Try GuSs” to check available time slots and book you sit.

I am a member. Can I sign up for Open Gus?

Yes. As a member of Glaecier, you can participate in an Open Gus for a special price of 99 DKK. If you wish to book an Open Gus session as a member, you simply book this through your profile on our website.

What is the Cancellation Policy?

For Open Gus bookings with Glacier Community, any cancellation must be communicated directly to community@glaecier.com at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled event. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the event will not be eligible for a refund. However, cancellations made in compliance with this policy will receive a full refund.

For Glaecier members

I am a member, but I want my friend to be as well. Is there something I can do?

As a member, there is nothing you can do to influence the process of membership offering; it is entirely random. You can simply enjoy your membership at Glaecier and patiently await your friend’s offer of membership.

Can I bring a friend to Glaecier?

Certainly! Members can book spots for our Open Gus sessions to join with a friend. Your friend will have to book too. Note: Limited members’ spots are available during these events to ensure non-members to have the opportunity to explore our facilities.
Alternatively, you can aquire a “Bring a Friend”- wristband.

What is Members Gus?

The Members Gus is a special benefit exclusively for our members. We periodically host Members Gus sessions with varying themes, durations, and focuses. These sessions are offered free of charge for our members. To participate, book through your profile on our website. Please note that these sessions do not follow a fixed schedule, and we will communicate the details to our members when they are planned.

Are there other Members' benefits?

Of course! As a member you will get invited for monthly activities, receive discounts for local shops and cool collabs and meet a lot of different people who all have the love of cold/heat exposure in common.

It looks like my monthly charge is too high. What could the problem be?

The Glaecier membership fee is paid in advance. This means that on the first of every month, you will pay for that month. For new members joining Glaecier at any point during a given month, it’s important to note that they will typically pay for the rest of that current month and for the following month, which can sometimes lead to initial confusion.

Can I pause my membership?

No. It is not possible to pause a Glaecier membership.

Use of Glaecier

You may swim with or without swimwear – it’s up to you. Just be considerate and cover up when you move around the club or walk between the sauna and the pool. In the sauna, you must sit on a towel and have your private parts covered.

How often can I use Glaecier

A membership gives you access to 10 visits per month in addition to all the members’ events and GUS sessions you would wish to attend.

The sauna is available every day during our regular opening hours, and all members are welcome to use it as frequently as they’d like. Please be aware that on Tuesday nights, we will host Open Gus sessions, which will occupy the entire sauna area. If you have not signed up for these events, we kindly request that you refrain from using the sauna during these times. Same rules apply for members’ gus. Only show up when signed up. For our members who wish to use essential oils in the sauna, it is permitted. However, we ask that you always seek the consent of other sauna guests before using essential oils. Furthermore, only use essential oils if you are knowledgeable about their proper usage and safety precautions.
