National Park and Smoke Sauna Experience

Explore Sipoonkorpi National Park on a guided 6 km hike through Finnish forest, learning about local wildlife and nature, before a campfire barbecue lunch beside a lake. Continue to a traditional Finnish smoke sauna for relaxation, swimming and, in winter, a bracing arctic dip — a year-round, certified sustainable experience.

Discover Sipoonkorpi National Park with a professional wilderness guide, who leads you along forested trails while sharing insights into Finnish wildlife and nature. The trail leads to a rocky vista overlooking a freshwater lake, where you’ll enjoy a campfire barbecue lunch.

After lunch, continue on to the smoke sauna — a 6 km hike in total — for time to relax, swim, and enjoy a traditional Finnish smoke sauna.

Enjoy sauna with locals in a safe environment
A truly local experience with food, sauna and swimming

Warming up to traditions. In the sauna, heated to around 80–100°C, water is thrown on the rocks — this is called “löyly”. It sends a wave of heat through the sauna, bringing relaxation.

Sit, swim, sweat, repeat. After the sweat comes the swim: step outside to cool down and breathe in fresh air by the freshwater lake, then head back into the sauna to warm up again. Three swims is considered the magic number — and in winter, brave guests can take the famous arctic dip in the ice water.

This tour proudly carries the Sustainable Travel Finland and Green Activities certificates, treating everyone equally and contributing positively to the environment.
