Join us for a quiet night in a wood burned sauna and get ready for the Arctic lake swimming. We specialize in small group experiences as we want everyone to feel comfortable. Surrounded by your group of friends you can relax in a cozy Lapland log cabin. Private local guides will be there to help you have the most authentic Northern experience.
One of the most popular Rovaniemi tours is an evening in Lappish sauna, followed by a delicious dinner. The tour starts with a pick-up from your hotel or apartment and a drive to lovely Langonlampi lake. On a 30-minute ride, we'll tell you about Lapland log cabins and their rejuvenating powers. Once we get there we will teach you how to fire up a Finnish sauna and how to make the most of your magical time in the North.

I went here with my 16 year old son and we had a great evening. We went in sauna and in the cold lake and in the snow! A lot of fun. Then we were served nice, smoked salmon. We felt very welcomed and would go there again.

We especially like the fruity drink "glöggi", but missed some alcohol for the better mood.

I highly recommend this tour! Not only is it fun to sit in the sauna and jump in the pond (it sounds scary with the arctic temperatures but you can do it), Alex and Tanja were so knowledgeable on topics such as the Northern Lights, traditional foods (it was delicious), culture and so much more. I think what really makes this experience above and beyond is how personal you feel though. We went in a small group of 8 and it makes all the difference. Sign up for this tour, you won't regret it!une vraie expérience, vraiment incroyable, je recommande les hôtes était d'une gentillesse incroyable !

This experience was absolutely one of our very favorite during our trip to Finland, Norway and Sweden. It was our first time in an authentic sauna, and then the cold outside, and the icy lake. The sauna was incredible, the moist heat felt wonderful, and adding the provided essential oil in was just perfect. Thank you to Alex who had prepared the sauna to be just at the right temperature when we stepped in. I thought it would be really cold outside when we went out for a break, but it felt amazing. It was a beautiful evening and my favorite place was the swing right outside the sauna where I could gently swing and enjoy the beautiful surroundings, the quiet sounds of nature, before heading back into the sauna. When it was time to head into the house for dinner, the fragrant aromas of Tanya's kitchen met us. We knew that there was a delight awaiting us! And, it was! Tanya had prepared a delicious feast of salmon, potatoes, and red pepper strips with a dill sauce that was incredible. And, cookies!! All of this dining inside their sweet home on the lake. After dinner, Alex and Tanya came back in the house and we visited for a while, asking them questions and they sharing a verbal and tangible picture of their life here. It was an incredible evening and one that I would definitely, definitely return to if ever back in this area!! Alex and Tanya, thank you for this wonderful experience!
