Discover The Finnish Way of Sauna

In Finland, the sauna is a way of life: It’s where friends connect, families unwind, and the mind finds calm in the warmth and silence. For centuries, saunas have been at the heart of Finnish homes, from rural cottages to modern cities

The sauna guide invites you to experience the traditional sauna as Finns do: You’ll learn why the löyly (the spirit of the steam) matters, what the Finnish sauna etiquette is like, and how the tradition has evolved.

"After I understood how to do sauna with this guide, it is now my favorite type of relaxation."
