Experience our traditional sauna set on the banks of the lake. Listen to the wood burning in the stove as it heats the stones, the whispering of the wind outdoors and the sound of the lake water lapping against the shore. Sauna has a big part in the Finnish culture. Originally it was the place for physical and spiritual cleansing, and nowadays relaxation at least once a week is its main purpose.

After a day’s activities there is nothing more enjoyable than going for a sauna and then swim in a fresh lake. Our guide will advise how to experience all this with maximum enjoyment. Swimsuits and towels can be worn in the sauna. Afterwards we will enjoy some snacks before returning to the city.

The duration is approximately 3.5 hours including transfers from Rovaniemi centre.

Pick-up from Vaattunki Wilderness Resort or Apukka Resort (1–6 pers.): 25 € per person
