Private Rovaniemi Lakeside Sauna & Fireside Experience

This is more than a sauna — it’s a chance to live like a local, unwind by a crackling fire, and enjoy authentic Finnish traditions, not to mention ice swimming.

Start with a private sauna retreat — the sauna and hot tub are yours alone to enjoy, perfect for couples, families and group who wish to do sauna together. Enjoy a private lakeside hot tub, and try the exhilarating ice swimming for a true Lapland thrill. 

Start time: 15:30

Duration: 3h 30min

Price: 185€/guest (minimum 2 guests)

The experience takes place in a local hidden gem on the shore of lake Norvajärvi. A visually stunning journey — perfect for photography, yet unforced and authentic. Pack your camera and let the landscape speak for itself.

After the sauna, gather around in a glowing grill kota hut where your guide serves simple, authentic flavors of Lapland: warm rieska bread, local sausage or a signature potato boat filled with local game meat, spiced with Finnish herbs, roots and berries, slow-cooked over the open fire, and two refreshing drinks. 

The evening is designed to be slow, shared, and unhurried, giving you space to relax, savor the food, and soak in the quiet beauty of Lapland’s lakeside scenery.

Scenic moments can be captured by your guide, respecting your privacy, with a curated selection of photos delivered within 2 days to relive the day.

This experience is private, responsible, and removed from mass tourism, allowing you to enjoy Lapland authentically, safely, and in deep connection with local life and the natural breathtaking surroundings.
