Practical Information

What to Expect

All experiences include a guided introduction to Nordic sauna and bathing culture — what Swedes call bastu culture. Cold water immersion is always optional and you can participate at your own comfort level.

What to Bring

Swimwear is required. Towels are usually provided but check your specific experience. Bring a water bottle and comfortable clothing for before and after.

Year-Round Experiences

All thermal experiences run throughout the year. Each season brings a different character — summer warmth, autumn colours, winter contrast with snow, and spring freshness.
