Traditional Finnish Sauna Experience

Enjoy the Finnish sauna tradition in a private, wood-heated sauna surrounded by peaceful nature. The intimate setting allows you to relax without crowds or distractions while your guide introduces you to local sauna customs, including the use of birch whisks known as vasta or vihta.

Between sauna sessions, cool off with a refreshing swim in the lake. Afterwards, enjoy local snacks and drinks while taking in the tranquil surroundings. It is a wonderful opportunity to unwind, experience Finnish culture, and leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
