Arctic Sauna World – Saunas, Ice Swimming, and Finnish Wellbeing by the Lake

By the lakeshore of Jerisjärvi, Arctic Sauna World draws inspiration from Finnish folklore and the elements. Each sauna captures one of the four elements – earth, water, fire, and air – united by the fifth: steam.

Guests can move between saunas, dip in the lake, and feel how warmth, water, and air restore balance. Vellamo, the Water Sauna, offers gentle, humid heat and calm lake views. Ilmarinen, the Air Sauna, clears the mind with dry, light heat and a quiet atmosphere. Ukko, the Fire Sauna, glows with intense warmth and the spirit of the thunder god. Tapio, the Forest Sauna, carries the earthy scent of wood and nature’s stillness. Repo, the Aurora Sauna, named after the mythical Firefox, opens towards the northern sky, where the Northern Lights often dance above the frozen lake. During the day, you can admire the fell scenery all around and watch the light play over Lake Jerisjärvi.

Arctic Sauna World offers direct access to the lake all year round, with a large swimming area kept open in the ice for those who wish to try ice swimming and feel the refreshing contrast between hot steam and cold water. After your sauna, relax on the spacious terrace or in the panoramic lounges, enjoy food and drinks at the restaurant, or get refreshments from the reception to sip between visits to the different saunas.

Located on the premises of Jeris Lakeside Resort, Arctic Sauna World is part of a peaceful destination offering accommodation, restaurant services, and easy access to Lapland’s pure nature through activities and guided adventures.
