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: 18:00
• Duration: 3h 30min
• Price: 170€ / guest (minimum 2 guests)
• Dinner: Possibility to include a Rustic Dinner for an additional 35€ / person

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 to enjoy a relaxing fireside moment. The sauna evening venue has a bar serving a selection of alcoholic beverages. You’re welcome to complement your evening with a carefully selected wine for an additional charge.

Pre-booking is required at least one day in advance. However, you’re welcome to inquire about dinner on the same day — if our host has time to prepare it, we’ll be happy to accommodate you.

Dinner for an additional price

You can add simple, authentic flavors of Lapland to your evening. Rustic Dinner features warm rieska bread and a signature potato boat filled with reindeer and venison meat, spiced with Finnish herbs, roots and berries, slow-cooked over the open fire, accompanied by a refreshing soft drink. 

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

Scenic moments will be captured by your guide, respecting your privacy, with a curated selection of photos delivered at the end of 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.
