WM Modern Classic Cup
14 - 16 nov, Livigno
The Aufguss World Championships
November 14, 15 & 16 – Alpine Wellness, Aquagranda
Three days of pure mastery, dedicated to the most authentic art of Aufguss.
The WM Modern Classic Cup is the world competition that brings together the finest Aufguss Masters on the planet to celebrate the most authentic sauna tradition: the essential one, without costumes, lights, or stage effects.
Here, everything stems from the power of the gesture, the rhythm of the music, the fragrance of essential oils — and above all from the ability of the master to connect with the audience, conveying emotions that are true, intense, universal.
An experience that goes beyond heat: it’s connection, presence, and shared breath.
In a spectacular arena like Aquagranda’s new Alpine Event Sauna, each national champion will present their own vision of the classic ritual, transforming heat into grace and energy into emotion.
A truly international competition, where different sauna cultures meet and the art of Aufguss is celebrated in its most authentic and engaging form.
This competition is a tribute to the origins of wellness in the sauna — a return to the essence of the rite, where mind, body, and spirit come together in an experience of harmony and renewal.
Join an event that honors the past and inspires the future of Aufguss, witnessing up close the magic of the world’s greatest masters.
