A REALLY HOT ACTIVITY

5.00One of the best experiences we have ever had!!! Our guide took care of us through the whole activity. The sauna, which was very comfortable and clean, is located near the city, by a beautiful lake. The feeling of being inside an hot room and then jumping into the lake has no equal. The restaurant was beautiful and food there was delicious. We could do this activity every single day. Highly recommendable!!!
Decompression and relaxation as much as possible

5.00Living this traditional experience in Stockholm in a haven of peace was a real treat. Nothing would have been possible without the presence of Alexandra, who was able to give us confidence, with her calm and her benevolence. Then end with a delicious meal with the locals what better way to end our stay in Stockholm 😉
Fantastic!

5.00What a truly lovely experience! Alexandra did an amazing job with guiding me through the traditional Swedish sauna and cold plunge experience. This was my first time doing so and she made me feel really comfortable and safe, which was extremely important as a 30 something year old female solo traveler. I highly recommend this experience and Alexandra! You won’t regret it!
Wonderful outdoor experience close to Stockholm!

5.00Great outdoor experience. As someone who likes to experience what the locals do, this outdoor activity was a home run for us. We were able to attend a dry sauna and utilize a nearby lake for the ice plunge in Stockholm. The food at the restaurant was delicious, and Alexandra, our tour guide, was very sweet and knowledgeable! It was very easy to navigate to meet with our guide, and if we wanted to, could have stayed longer in the protected forest to hike and relax.
