About

Finns have been using saunas for hundreds of years and traditionally, the sauna has been considered a mystical, sacred space where people can cleanse their bodies and minds and embrace a sense of inner peace. It is the ultimate well-being experience and a perfect way to finish off your day!

The temperature in the sauna is typically kept around 80-90°C (±10°C) and the temperature of the swimming water in the lake is around 2°C.
