Step into a world of Finnish tradition and unparalleled relaxation with our Traditional Sauna Experience. Located on the banks of the Kemijoki River outside of the city, this 200-year-old wood-heated sauna offers you a cozy and authentic way to experience the essence of Finnish traditions.

Your visit begins at Raanupirtti, where a lantern-lit path leads you to the sauna by the river. This 200-year-old wood-heated sauna offers you a chance to experience Finnish traditions in a unique setting.

As a final touch, you have the opportunity to add the final logs to the sauna stove before stepping in to enjoy the welcoming warmth of the steam. The traditional Finnish sauna routine is simple: spend 10–15 minutes in the heat, then step outside to roll in the snow. "Snow swimming" in the snow is a fun and refreshing way to cool off. The sudden drop in temperature wakes up your body, boosting blood circulation and releasing endorphins, which elevate your mood and promote relaxation. You can repeat the sauna-snow cycle as many times as you like, or simply relax and enjoy the sauna without stepping into the snow.

After the sauna, feeling relaxed and refreshed, you’ll return to Raanupirtti, where a cozy fireplace awaits, to enjoy a light Finnish snack and a drink (water, juice, coffee, tea and glögi are included) For an extra fee, you can upgrade your experience with a traditional Finnish lunch.

This sauna experience is an easy way to enjoy Finnish culture and tradition while taking time to relax and unwind in a peaceful setting. Whether you’re familiar with saunas or trying one for the first time, this experience will leave you feeling refreshed, connected, and closer to Finnish traditions.
