Rovaniemi: Traditional Sauna and Ice Swimming Experience

Discover the authentic Finnish sauna culture with the Rovaniemi Traditional Sauna and Ice Swimming Experience, set on the tranquil banks of the Kemijoki River in Finland’s Lapland. Begin your visit with a guided tour of the beautifully renovated 1958 blacksmith's sauna, where you’ll see all the facilities and learn about this cherished local tradition.

Inside the cozy changing room, you’ll find everything you need for a perfect session, including towels, water, clogs, and even a hairdryer. Slip into your sauna attire and enter the aromatic warmth of the wood-paneled sauna, where the soothing scents of essential oils and the crackling of the stove create a truly immersive atmosphere.

Control the heat by ladling water onto the hot stones, letting the steam ease away tension and rejuvenate your body. You’ll enjoy the health benefits of the sauna, from opening your pores and relaxing your muscles to lowering blood pressure, all while surrounded by the natural beauty of Lapland.

When you're ready to cool down, step onto the terrace or, for the adventurous, take a bracing dip in the Kemijoki River. If you visit at night, you may be treated to the magical display of the Northern Lights. During the day, the stunning landscape of river, islands, and hills offers a breathtaking backdrop.

After alternating between hot sauna sessions and refreshing cold exposure, unwind with a drink and soak in the peaceful surroundings. As you finish, change back into your clothes and leave feeling completely revitalized, ready to continue your Lapland adventure.
