Finnish Sauna and Ice Swimming Experience in Pyhäjärvi

Sign up for a unique 2 hours in the wilderness of Finnish Lapland on this Finnish sauna and ice swimming experience in Pyhäjärvi! Located in the heart of Finland, Pyhäjärvi is a small, lakeside town that boasts beautiful, untouched landscapes, snowy winters, and wonderful traditions. The Finnish sauna culture is part of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list, as a practice that is deeply ingrained in the country's identity and has been a tradition dating back up to 7000 years. Finnish saunas are typically warmed from 80 to 110 degrees Celsius, and the full tradition dictates that, when the heat gets to be too much, you can jump into an icy lake or even onto the snow around the sauna, which relaxes the muscles.

On the day of your Finnish sauna experience in Pyhäjärvi, you'll need to arrive at the Lucky Ranch Saloon to meet your instructor. There, they'll welcome you and give you a clear itinerary for the activity, as well as a few safety recommendations to follow to enjoy the experience to the fullest. Next, they'll distribute the towels, slippers, shampoo and body care products, and teach you how to prepare the bathing water so the adventure can begin!

You'll step into the sauna and revel in its soft heat as you share a nice conversation with your loved ones or simply enjoy the silence of the Finnish Lapland wilderness. And when you feel like it, you can step out of the sauna and head straight toward Lake Pyhäjärvi to take a dip! Ice swimming is optional during this experience, but if you'd like to try it, it can help your muscles relax, and then you can return to the cosy heat of the sauna to warm up.

Don't forget to bring a swimsuit for the sauna, as well as warm clothing to protect yourself from the cold, before and after the experience, and anything else you might need (medication, hypoallergenic products, etc,) to spend an amazing 2 hours on this Finnish sauna and ice swimming experience in Pyhäjärvi!
