Modern SPA Sauna – Open Session

A modern Finnish sauna and SPA experience surrounded by northern nature

Enjoy an unhurried sauna experience at the House of Northern Senses Modern SPA Style Sauna, only about a 15-minute drive from Ruka.

Relax in the warmth of a modern Finnish sauna, swim in the heated indoor pool and spend time in the comfortable sauna lounge. Between sauna sessions, cool down in our sheltered Vilpola relaxation area or step outside into the fresh northern air.

Choose your own way to cool down. In summer and autumn, take a refreshing swim in Lake Pikku Porontima. In winter, cool down in soft snow or experience an authentic Finnish ice dip. The heated indoor pool provides a wonderfully warm contrast to the fresh northern nature throughout the year.

The Open SPA session is shared with other guests booked for the same time. The number of participants is limited to keep the atmosphere peaceful and relaxing.

• 90-minute Open SPA session
