Authentic Finnish Wood-Heated Sauna by the River

Experience one of the most beloved Finnish traditions – a peaceful moment in a traditional wood-heated sauna surrounded by the nature of Lapland.

This private sauna experience takes place at Aava Riverside, our peaceful riverside location and sister property of Aava Glass Igloos. Here, a traditional Finnish wood-heated sauna awaits you right by the river.

From the gentle crackling of the fire to the soft warmth of the sauna, the experience invites you to slow down and simply enjoy the moment. Between sauna sessions, step outside into the fresh Arctic air and take in the peaceful riverside surroundings.

Sauna is an essential part of Finnish culture. For generations, it has been a place to relax, reconnect and enjoy a moment of quiet. A wood-heated sauna makes the tradition particularly atmospheric, offering the gentle heat and distinctive character that Finns have cherished for centuries.

The sauna is reserved privately for you and your party, so you can enjoy the experience peacefully and at your own pace.

The experience includes:
• Private use of a traditional wood-heated Finnish sauna
• Towels
• Fresh drinking water
• Time to cool down and relax outdoors by the river
• An authentic Finnish sauna experience at Aava Riverside

Offered as part of the Aava Glass Igloos experience collection and hosted by Aava Riverside, this is a beautiful way to discover a simple and authentic part of Finnish life.

Feel the warmth of the fire, breathe in the fresh Lapland air and experience Finnish sauna culture as it is meant to be – unhurried, peaceful and close to nature.
