Feel the calming effect of the forest

During this experience, you will get to discover the beauty of Sipoonkorpi national park with a professional wilderness guide. The guide will lead you through forested trails stopping along the way to learn about Finnish wildlife and nature. Our trail leads us to a rocky vista overlooking a freshwater lake where we will have a campfire barbecue.

After a delicious lunch, we will continue our walk to the smoke sauna (A total of 6km). Time to relax, go for a swim, and enjoy a traditional Finnish smoke sauna.

Highlights:
• Discover the beauty of Finland in a national park
• Easy and rewarding hike with a barbecue lunch
• Enjoy sauna with locals in a safe environment
• A truly local experience with food, sauna, and swimming!

Warming up to Traditions

As we sit in the sauna which is heated to around 80-100 degrees Celsius, water is thrown on the rocks - this is called löyly. This sends a wave of heat throughout the sauna, which in turn brings relaxation!

Sit, Sweat, Swim, Repeat!

After the sweat, comes the swim! We will step outside to cool down and breathe in the fresh air. The sauna is located next to a freshwater lake so dipping in the lake is highly encouraged and extremely refreshing! After our dip, we will head back into the sauna to warm up again. With each dip comes more pleasure and we believe three swims is the magic number.

If you are brave enough to join us in the winter we will go for the famous arctic dip in the ice water!
