Description
Let your body and mind relax as you learn about the centuries-old Finnish sauna tradition from two local hosts. Surrounded by gentle steam and summer scents, you’ll unwind in the soft evening light, then cool off in the fresh air or take a dip in the peaceful forest lake.
This contrast of heat and cold boosts circulation and endorphins, leaving you deeply refreshed and connected to nature.
After the sauna, enjoy local snacks and drinks by the campfire.
You’ll leave feeling grounded in Arctic wellness—and a little more Finnish.
Please note, the traditional sauna has no electricity or running water, but your hosts have taken care of everything.
