saunas in Finland

Some countries may have a spa and label a door 'Finnish sauna.', So you try it out. You wind up with a completely different sauna experience than in Finland. Sauna temperatures are too low, or you are allowed to throw on water at certain times only. Your sauna experience suffers.

When in Finland you learn to have a great 'Sauna Experience.' You learn it...after repetition and practice.


Of the thousands of saunas in Finland available we have widdled down the biggest and the bestest here for you. -Work hard at doing the sauna and you will reap the benefits.

Oldest Finnish sauna building is has a spakled grainy white outside with an anient green door as an entry.
Many public Finnish saunas give you the advantage of having unforgettable sauna experiences, like what you find at the oldest operational Finnish sauna in Finland. This one goes by the name of Rajaportti and is over 100 years old...



Distance from Sauna to lake at the kaupinoja sauna is around 25 meters.You must walk down some steps to get into the water.Finland insiders are people who know what delicacies are submerged in Finland's culture. We hear them say: "That sauna was refreshing." Or "that was the best sauna."-- as Pentti comments to me while "throwing on steam" with him at the best wood-burning sauna in Finland.



There is about a 30 to 40 meters walking distance from Rauhaniemis sauna to the lake"The landscape at Tampereen Rauhaniemi Kylpylä is perfect," a regular sauna frequenter commented. These folks drive over a hundred kilometers from Helsinki to Tampere in order to visit the best 'oil-burning' sauna in Finland at the edge of lake Näsijärvi...




An award winning Smoke sauna in Vesilahti,Finland
Our first smoke sauna experience begins here in Vesilahti. Tomi, Rosa and I try out this Finnish smoke sauna located at the edge of a lake.






The Kangasala Sauna has a long wooden dock about 30 meter leading to the lake from the shore.While at a public Finnish sauna in Kangasala Finland,an eldely gentleman quotes: "A group of sauna going folks frequent this sauna where conversation is 'friendly.' "We know each other and talk is light. Sauna guests come once a week,others every day.

Swimming is ideal because of the long wide wooden dock and shallow water. There's summer-time swimming for the whole family, and wintertime ice-swimming 'Avanto' guests.




The smoke sauna in Tarvasjoki,Finland made out of logs,embedded into the ground.A long wooden deck is attached to the sauna and outside showersFinns and sauna fans from all over the world learn to enjoy the mother of all saunas. The smoke sauna. The sauna is warmed for hours, smoke fills the air, go in and pour on the steam on and ahhhhhh... Of course you let the smoke out first.

Looking for adventure at the same time then try this dugout smoke sauna in Tarvasjoki, Finland.






An award winning smoke sauna in Hämeenkyrö,Finland. About 45 kilometers north of Tampere is this smoke sauna in Hämeenkyrö, Finland. You will get a different ice-swimming experience here since there is both a smoke sauna and normal 40 person Finnish sauna.

So if you want to know what it feels like to do both sauna types simultaneously, here is where you can go.
