Guided by the rhythm of the drum, you are welcomed into a traditional herbal sauna experience inspired by the natural treasures of Lapland. The sauna rituals combine ancient traditions with carefully selected local herbs, flowers and natural ingredients collected from the surrounding environment in the summer.
