Ice KULA Sessions — Guided cold-water dips in Zürich

Cold water. Warm people. A little more joy this winter.

We started Ice KULA last winter – and loved it so much that we decided to keep going.

Once a month, we meet at Mythenquai Badi for a guided cold-water dip with certified cold-water coach Martina Lenk, followed by hot chai, freshly baked KULA brownies and time to warm up together.

We start in October, while the lake is still a little milder, and continue together through the winter.

And this year, it’s on us – the sessions are completely free. 💛

Why do cold swimming?

Step out of your comfort zone and into the moment

Switch off, clear your head and let go of stress

That amazing buzz and sense of achievement afterwards

Fresh air, movement and a little boost for your immune system

Because it’s simply more fun together

It's free to join

The sessions are completely free. We just ask you to register ideally at least 48 hours in advance so we know how much chai to prepare — and how many brownies to bake.

Feeling spontaneous? You’re still welcome to turn up on the day — we just can’t guarantee there’ll be a brownie waiting for you 😉

Tasty and fast

It was fast, tasty and beautuful. Thank you!

I received this most amazing gift from one of my clients recognising our work and impact in leading Ethical Human and AI Automation building it, and as they said the best in AI Literacy. It brought me tears of JOY! Then they just tased to amazing, my kids loved them too. My fav salty caramel, I had to take lactose tablets as I am lactose intolerant...I would love a vegan version because of it. But what an awesome concept for thanking people or gift. Just wow amazing and really does bring Joy; happy tears.

A luxurious and delicious way to say: Thank you

I got the KULA box as a thank you and was so so positively surprised that I had to buy one for another person. I wanted to say thank you you immediately after. The packaging is beautiful the content delicious and it is generous gesture of luxury.

KULA - JOY!

I absolutely adore this concept! The boxes are so beautiful and make such a thoughtful and special gesture. I will definitely be ordering more in the future and can already see myself gifting these to the people dearest to me.
I recently placed an order that I wanted to send anonymously, simply because for me, the anonymity is part of the beauty and meaning behind the gesture. Since it was being sent to a company, I did wonder whether it might be perceived more as corporate gifting, which made me a little unsure. That said, I still think the concept itself is incredibly beautiful.

I think this is such a wonderful startup with a genuinely lovely idea. I will absolutely recommend it to my friends, continue supporting the business, and look forward to ordering more beautiful boxes in the future!

Zu spät geliefert

Es war sehr enttäuschend, dass das Paket zum Geburtstag einen Tag zu spät geliefert wurde. Bis 10 Uhr bestellt und am nächsten Tag geliefert, stimmt in diesem Fall nicht!

Doch abgesehen davon, kamen die Brownies sehr gut an, schmeckten und die Idee eine Video-oder Audiobotschaft mitzuschicken ist toll.

Danke für dein Feedback, Cornelia! Es tut uns leid, dass die Box einen Tag zu spät angekommen ist. Wir versenden mit der Schweizerischen Post, die in rund 95 % der Fälle zuverlässig am geplanten Tag zustellt. In seltenen Fällen kann es jedoch zu Verzögerungen kommen, die ausserhalb unseres Einflusses liegen. Bei wichtigen Terminen wie Geburtstagen empfehlen wir deshalb vorsichtshalber die Lieferung einen Tag früher zu wählen. Umso mehr freut es uns, dass die Brownies und die Videobotschaft gut angekommen sind.
