Private Finnish Sauna Experience

If you're in Rovaniemi, don't miss experiencing one of the most traditional rituals in Lapland: a Finnish sauna on the ice. At the designated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel and leave the city behind to head to a unique spot with one important goal: to relax.

We'll reach the truly authentic Lappish setting, where we'll marvel at the impressive lake among trees. Here, a mobile sauna mounted on skis awaits us, taking us into the waters of this haven of peace.

We'll board this unique boat and begin the activity. The Finnish sauna consists of a wooden cabin heated with firewood, where the temperature can reach up to 158ºF (70ºC). Once inside, we'll show you how to use it. A curious aspect of the Finnish sauna is that it's a ritual, as it's combined with a subsequent dip in the frozen lake. That's why in Finland they're always located next to lakes. Did you know that saunas were originally considered sacred places?

Depending on the time of year you travel to Rovamiemi, you can enjoy either the winter or summer sauna. The only difference is that in winter, the lake will be completely frozen. In summer, the waters are thawed, but still perfect for experiencing the contrast with the high temperatures inside the sauna.

To put the finishing touch on your private experience, we'll enjoy various hot drinks and snacks in a traditional teepee.

After the Finnish sauna experience, we will return to the hotels in Rovaniemi between 3 and 3.5 hours later.

Northern Lights & Midnight Sun

From September to May, it may be possible to see the Aurora Borealis while you bathe in the frozen lake. However, if you do this activity in the summer months (between May and October), you'll be able to see the midnight sun instead.

Hotel Pickup

This activity includes pickup from hotels located within a radius of 10 km (6.21 mi) from the centre of Rovaniemi. If your hotel is located in the centre of Rovaniemi, you'll need to select the closest hotel to your hotel that appears on the list.

Please note that the time of the activity is approximate and varies according to season and availability. Once you have made your booking, we'll contact you to confirm the exact time.
