Super cool experience and highly recommend, great host and just overall great time. Host provided everything we needed and ensured we were safe when entering the water
Our guide was so nice. We really enjoyed this Finnish tradition!! We did feel the benefits they described. We would do this again.
The experience was amazing and authentic! The gentleman was welcoming, attentive and warm. We highly recommend spending this time between ice water and hot sauna. Relaxation and reviviscence were at the rendezvous! Thank you so much!
Beautiful experience, we felt safe and comfortable both in the sauna and in the frozen lake. Beautiful scenery, experience that I highly recommend
It is a highly recommended experience. The place is very nice, the gentleman who served us is very friendly and explains everything so that you live the experience in a different way. The site is somewhat distant from the city but there is public transport.
Really amazing experience! Very welcome, no complaints. The host is really nice and explained us very well by having me very confident and comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised to see that he also spoke French. He also gave us suggestions for places and other activities to do. We really loved this moment, it was one of the highlights of our trip! I highly advise and really recommend this sauna in particular because it is really atypical, beautiful and warm! Not far from rovaniemi (about 24min, it's really worth it). It’s an experience that can be impressive but once you’ve done it, you feel so good on top of the feeling of pride that you got there. I recommend 100%.
The 70 yo sauna is an absolute jewel , perfectly clean and efficient The owner is kind and outdoor facility is a natural show it self
Very nice experience. Sauna small and intimate, the owner very attentive and ready to give you the right advice to live this experience to the fullest!
A huge thank you for this timeless moment. The Finnish sauna was simply perfect, and Killian’s kind welcome made the experience even more memorable. The fact that he speaks French and has given us all the necessary explanations allowed us to enjoy this ritual in the best conditions. A magical, soothing and authentic moment that we will remember for a long time. Thank you for this wellness break.
This was such a great experience, definitely a highlight of our trip. Scenery was lovely too. Killian was helpful while still giving us plenty of space to enjoy the experience. Highly recommend.
