Once the wood-fired sauna is warm, it's time to relax and enjoy an authentic Finnish tradition. Listen to the crackling fire, feel the heat rising from the stones, and unwind beside a peaceful Arctic lake.
When you're ready, step outside and experience the refreshing contrast of the cold. Take a dip in the lake, try ice swimming through our specially maintained ice hole in winter, or cool off in the snow when conditions allow. Our guide will explain how to enjoy the experience safely, and you can take everything at your own pace. Cold-water swimming is optional.
After cooling down, return to the warmth of the sauna and repeat the experience as often as you like. This traditional combination of heat, fresh Arctic air, and cold water is a wonderful way to experience Finnish culture away from the busy tourist areas around Rovaniemi.
Towels, slippers, drinking water, hot tea, and round-trip transfers are included. Just bring your swimsuit and enjoy this unique Arctic experience!
