Your evening begins with a pickup from your accommodation in Levi and a scenic 25-minute drive through the snowy wilderness to a cozy Finnish cottage nestled by a peaceful river. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by your host and step into the soothing warmth of a traditional wood-heated sauna — the heart of Finnish culture. Your guide will introduce you to the rituals and traditions of the sauna, teaching you how Finns have used it for relaxation, health, and connection for centuries.
After the sauna, cool off like a true Finn. Depending on the season, you can dip into the refreshing river, roll in the snow, or try an invigorating ice plunge — always under the guidance of your host for comfort and safety.
Once fully relaxed, sit down to a delicious three-course dinner prepared by an experienced Finnish chef. The menu celebrates local and seasonal ingredients, featuring a classic Finnish starter, a main course inspired by Lapland’s flavors, and a dessert made from authentic Nordic ingredients. Dishes vary with the seasons, ensuring each visit offers a unique taste of Finland.
Throughout the evening, your guide will share stories about Finnish lifestyle, culture, and the deep connection between nature and the sauna tradition. And if the sky is clear, you might even witness the magical dance of the Northern Lightsabove the river — the perfect ending to an unforgettable Lapland experience.
