Sauna and Ice Swimming
In Finland, one way to say "I love you" is: "Sauna is ready for you" - such a big role plays sauna in the Finnish culture. Experience the traditional Finnish sauna like locals do, get your cold shock in ice cold water and ride the waves of happy hormones afterwards.
About This Experience
We will start with a briefing on Finnish sauna culture, history, and rituals. Then, it's time to step into a traditional Finnish sauna. Whenever löyly feels too hot, you can take a dip in the lake to cool down. Sauna is known almost all around the world, but Finnish sauna culture is special in it´s own way - and listed on UNESCO intangible cultural heritage.
Sauna and ice swimming have multiple health benefits. Explore what is the secret behind this healthy addiction!

What Our Guests Say
5.0 / 5 from 6 reviews
“The ice floating experience was unlike anything I've ever done. I was nervous at first, but within seconds of entering the water I felt completely safe and relaxed. Floating on my back, staring at the sky, surrounded by total silence. The sauna afterwards was the perfect ending. Antti and Venla are incredible hosts.”

“We travelled all the way from Melbourne for a proper Arctic winter experience, and Outdoor Artisans delivered beyond our expectations. Small group, personal attention, and activities that felt real rather than touristy. The winter SUP on the steaming river was absolutely incredible. Highly recommend.”

“We booked the bushcraft and ice floating combination for our family. Our teenage boys were completely absorbed in learning to make fire from natural materials. The guide's knowledge of the forest was extraordinary. This was the highlight of our entire Lapland trip.”
