Sauna Tours

No visit to Finland is complete without sampling its most essential national institution: the sauna. There are saunas of every size and type right across the country, from the electrically powered variety at swimming pools, hotels and sports complexes to the idyllic and more intimate lakeside custom-built cabin and the sooty smoke saunas.

Finnish specialties, sauna on a lake

Why not take a sauna tour to get to the heart of this ancient tradition, combining some of Finland’s finest shopping experiences with a visit to the Muurame sauna village near Jyväskylä, for example. Visits to traditional saunas at the Nuuksio National Park near Helsinki are another option, and you can discover that sweat can be sweet – and that swimming in a hole in the frozen ice is not as crazy as it sounds - at Taivaanvalkeat in the village of Köngäs near Levi in Lapland. And if you can still stand the heat, try the world’s biggest smoke sauna at Kuopio.

The sun is low on the horizon, the air is warm and a bird sits quietly at the end of the little jett ...

Smoke Saunas
