Wood-fired sauna with ice bath on the ice lake

After pickup at your accommodation in Abisko – Kiruna – Jukkasjärvi by minibus/van, your Arctic adventure begins with a scenic drive to our lakeside sauna.

This experience also doubles as a Northern Lights tour: if the aurora appears during the drive, we stop to enjoy the show. Both along the way and outside the sauna as the chances increase but are not guaranteed when we change geographical location during the evening’s experience.

Just 30 meters from the shoreline stands our exclusive yet traditionally simple wooden lake sauna, beautifully framed by the frozen winter landscape. Upon arrival, we gather in a wooden grill hut (eldkåta) where we grill sausages over an open fire while the sauna heats up. This is a warm and relaxing moment to settle in before entering the sauna.

In the anteroom we undress and then enter the sauna. We sauna according to the Scandinavian sauna culture. Here we are naked in the sauna but it is not a compulsion and swimwear is allowed. We change in a unisex changing room.

Once inside the wood-fired sauna, our guide will guide the ice bath for those who want to participate in that activity. There is also the opportunity to cool off in the arctic snow under the starry sky with the possibility of seeing the northern lights!

Take the opportunity to sauna in a very unique way under safe circumstances by an experienced sauna enthusiast.
