DESCRIPTION

A VERY LOCAL EXPERIENCE IN THE WILDERNESS! 

Enjoy a very local experience! Your guide will take you into deep forests to a wilderness cabin with a log sauna. The traditional cabin has no electricity or running water ; the small lake and nature around is providing everything it needs! The place is beautiful and extremely peaceful – perfect for a relaxing moment!

Your guide will lit the wood-burner in the sauna and give you more instructions how to use it in the very Finnish way. There is also a pontoon that leads directly to the lake : if you are brave enough to go in the water, in summer it might get warm but in autumn it will be refreshing in any case! It is very healthy to alternate hot sauna with cold water (or at least cold air).

Sauna towels, soaps, birch tar oil and other equipment needed will be provided by your guide (please bring your swimsuit if you need to ; or sauna can also be naked like Finns usually do…). The experience is always private and the guide will give you all privacy needed. He / she will prepare a local snack around the fire while you enjoy the traditional sauna.

From September onward, this time is also great for spotting the Northern Lights; thanks to the sauna’s north-facing lake and zero light pollution.
