A Sensual Experience

Embark on a flight and experience thunderstorms, gales and volcanic eruptions - telling the evolution of the planet Earth.

A world covered by a blanket of ice is your departure to the wide open polar regions of the earth. The Arctic Ocean, snow sceneries as far as the eye can see, and arctic climates are brought to you in wonderful visual impressions. Experience polar cold in the walk-in igloo, symbolizing the beginning of warmth.

Warmth has a tangible effect on feelings of well-being and comfort. But which effects have light and warmth together? Immerse yourself in soothing warmth, entered through the tunnel of lights.

Soak Up Warmth - Pure Bliss!

Sunlight gives you that wonderful natural warmth sensation.

Infrared light is part of the Sun´s invisible spectrum. Spectacular, visual impressions are supported through a controlled infrared radiation system. With the rising sun you´ll enter three climatic zones: Polar Regions, the Mediterranean Zone and the Equator. This is where you can feel the sensation of warmth on your skin.

Water plays an important role in the World of Warmth as well. Feel the tangible power and energy of water!

In the 20th century, the Elements-Fire, Earth, Water, Light and Warmth-have been exploited for the benefit of mankind. The journey through the World of Warmth comes to an end with information on BTM´s cutting edge therapeutic technologies that provide numerous holistic health benefits.
