Could you comment on the providers - demographics, top/bottom, services on offer? Also, best time/day to come?

Nevermind, just saw the post above 😅

I can update based on more visits to Paragonya and more familiarity with origins. Some of the guys I called "Mediterranean" initially turned out to be Brazilians.

• Countries: Majority Brazilians* (half Mediterranean white and half darker shades) plus a few Balkan guys (mainly surprisingly blondish, handsome Romanians). Others varied from day to day. You might find a Thai, a couple of Africans, or randos such as the cute, smart Kurdish jock who came over from Germany for a long weekend.

  * I assumed that the Brazilians who travel to Zurich would mostly be the top tier. Not true! Most were OK but surprisingly average with few standouts.
  
  Also, my June array of nationalities was not the same as reported by posters in January, so maybe seasonal variation is a factor?

• Roles: Did not survey everybody, but seemed like a fairly standard sauna mix of predominantly tops, but btms available too (sometimes covertly of course).

• Times: The 12:30-2:30 band was best. Lots of the more sexy guys seem to leave if they make some cash rather than wait around. Those who do not score early seem to stay until they at least can cover their entrance fee (over $40 USD) and make a little profit. So you can still find a good number of guys working later in the day (based on the one day I stayed later), but you may miss some of the more successful ones.

• Days: Not as much variation as I would have thought. Guys complained that Saturday was slow and just as many men were there on Monday.  

If you go, please give us an update!

Quick wrap up on my Patagonia Paragonya visits in Zurich the past few day:

Perhaps Riobard's chastising the staff for merely flipping the mattresses had an impact because each one of my guys soaked the mattresses with disinfectant spray and rubbed vigorously with paper towels before spreading out our cloth towels. Imperfect, but no fungus so far.

For me, Paragonya would never be a destination sauna due to its high costs and Zurich being one of the most expensive cities in Europe — but I needed to be in town for a few days for a wedding. I'm glad I checked out the infamous $auna and had some fun, but I won't return.

This is a good conclusion. I've been thinking about visiting Zurich to see Paragonya, but seems not worth planning a trip around it. Instead, end up in Zurich and have it be an added plus. thank you.

An excellent report. I’ve often thought of visiting Zurich and honouring Paragonya with my presence. It’s a pity that all the action appears to happen during the day. In an ideal world the visitor should be sight seeing during the day in arguably the most picturesque country in the world and seeking action in the late afternoon and evening.
