Deep in the quiet forest just outside Rovaniemi, Lapland Winter Park hides a whole world of different saunas – traditional smoke, tar-scented, scenic glass-walled, barrel-shaped and more – all unisex and waiting for you in swimsuits. You can hop between steamy rooms, sink into a bubbling hot tub or brave a quick plunge in the icy pool, whatever feels right for that perfect Finnish sauna glow. It’s the real deal, the kind of relaxing ritual locals have loved for centuries, without any touristy fuss. A free shuttle bus picks you up in the city center (Poromiehentie 4) and brings you back between 11am and 5pm – easy way to spend a few hours unwinding in the Arctic winter.
