Private Wood-Heated Lakeside Sauna & Lake Experience

Enjoy the gentle heat of a traditional Finnish wood-heated sauna with your own private group in the peaceful lakeside surroundings of House of Northern Senses, only about 15 minutes from Ruka.

Our wood-heated lakeside sauna is located on the shore of the fell lake Pikku Porontima. Step directly from the sauna into the fresh lake water throughout the year – and into an ice hole in winter.

The entire sauna session is reserved exclusively for your group. It is ideal for a small group of 1–6 guests looking for an authentic Finnish sauna experience, peaceful nature and unhurried time together.

The experience includes
• 120-minute private sauna session
• traditional Finnish wood-heated lakeside sauna
• exclusive use for a group of 1–6 guests
• year-round lake swimming and winter ice swimming
• towels and sauna seat covers
• shampoo and shower gel
• use of changing rooms, showers and toilets
• welcome by our staff and sauna and safety instructions
• free parking
