Many, probably a majority, are american and its heavily traficked by influencers so lots of the americans never even venture in to the textile-free zone. Which becomes the highlight. American (+ some euro and many asian) influencers come in, try and get away with wearing bathing suits in sauna/steam/cold plunge and are quickly told by staff it isn't allowed. Twice I saw this happen and watched them quickly and shyly strip down and later get on instagram to see them posting from the resort to their hundreds of thousands of followers and you get to think about how you just saw what thousands of their followers would dream of seeing. Then you beat them to the showers after so they have to slide by you showering to get to an open shower.
Later in the summer went back to some favorite resorts in Austria which are also great. The expensive alpine resort is my game vs the large day spas. Massages and spa services are always top notch and I find I relax much more in a less crowded and higher quality environment. Highlight was a wealthy young german couple on their honeymoon (met them on their second night together as a married couple). Met them at the bar the night before. Had a great chat, wondered if I'd see them in the spa. Next morning the new wife arrived earlier than her husband to the spa. She and i ended up arriving simultaneously and thus, stripping off our robes and taking our initial showers side by side in very close proximity. As her robe came off it was one of the only times in all my spa days I've worried about getting too excited, having a young newlywed away from her new husband getting naked with me. Her mid 20s body was better than i could have imagined in the dress she was in the night before. She wasn't shy about a quick look up and down my body as well as we showered. Clearly had worked to get the wedding day body in top form and there wasn't so much as a stubble of hair to be seen. Went in to a steam room with her and we chatted a bit till her husband joined us a minute or two later and i ended up seated between them for a bit and it was friendly and somehow not weird at all. Next couple of hours ended up in an aufguss with them (and about 25 other people) and fell asleep on a lounge chair outside (in my robe) to wake up to them sunbathing next to me (with her in the chair closest to me nothing but skin). Summer in the alps is just the best.

The first sounds like a place that starts with F and ends with S right? I have read on some reviews that given there are so many Americans the nudist rule is often not enforced in the textile-free area. But sounds like it’s not always the case
I am partial to South Tyrol spa resorts as well (my gf and I go every year to My Ar*bor). I have written a story a couple lf months ago. The hottest thing is definitely chatting with other couples over dinner or at the bar and then seeing them naked during Aufguss or at the cold plunge…
