Prepare for a thrilling experience with one of the most genuine Swedish traditions, hot and cold, a must while visiting Stockholm in the winter.
This experience is a real treat for your body and soul and a total immersion in the local life in Sweden.
Leave everything behind and step into a portal of peace and wellbeing.
The tranquility and silence of the forest, the beautiful scenery, fresh air and the winter frost will make you feel as you are far away while walking amongst the tall pine trees.
In the forest is a small lake and a hot wooden Sauna.
In the winter the lake is mostly covered by ice and its been a long tradition to enjoy the health benefits of the contrast of the hot and cold that makes you feel alive and energized.
For those who are well familiar with ice-bathing know how this will leave you with a feeling of deep relaxation and refreshment.
And if you dare the challenge to plunge in the ice-cold lake then that will be a high achievement with its own rewards.

A once in lifetime experience

5.00We had an absolutely unforgettable experience on this guided tour in Sweden. Hiking through the snowy forest felt like stepping into a winter fairytale — everything was peaceful, white, and beautifully untouched. It was both calming and invigorating at the same time. One of the highlights was the sauna followed by our very first cold plunge in a frozen lake! It was definitely outside our comfort zone, but it turned out to be such an exhilarating and empowering experience. We’re so glad we did it — it’s something we’ll never forget. Afterward, we warmed up in a cozy cabin with a fireplace, which made the whole experience even more magical. Sitting by the fire after the cold plunge was lovely. The lunch served there was delicious — fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we needed after an active morning in the cold. A very special thank you to our guide, Alexandra. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional throughout the entire tour. She made us feel comfortable and ensured we had a truly authentic and safe experience. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sweden who wants a genuine taste of nature, adventure, and Scandinavian tradition. It was the perfect winter day! ❄️🔥
Fun times and cold plunges!

5.00Alexandra is an exceptional guide! I have so much gratitude that she shared her time with me on a quiet and meditative hike in the woods just a few miles out of Stockholm. I learned about the local fauna and enjoyed a tea break with a view. A visit to a community sauna and ice plunge was restorative and energizing. I particularly enjoyed a shared meal with Alexandra in a cozy cabin that felt quite distant from the usual tourist spots; precisely the experience I was seeking on this trip to Sweden. Above all, Alexandra is an absolute delight; informative, kind, and passionate. I hope to have an opportunity to do this again.
This trip was absolutely...

5.00This trip was absolutely incredible! The hike was breathtaking, with stunning views and the unforgettable experience of drinking fresh spring water. The sauna was the perfect way to relax after, and the ice plunge was an exhilarating challenge! Lunch at the sauna’s restaurant was delicious, rounding off the experience beautifully. Our guide was fantastic—super friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great recommendations. Every moment felt well-planned yet natural, making for an unforgettable adventure. If you love nature, relaxation, and a bit of a thrill, this is a must-do. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

5.00This was one of the most fun things we did in Stockholm. My 3 friends and I did this experience our second day in the city and it was a great, fun way to be immersed in the Swedish culture. Alex is super accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. She picked us up right from our airbnb and shuttled us to everywhere we needed to be. The hike is low impact, we went in the winter and she had spikes for our shoes so we wouln't slip. We got fresh spring water, plunged in the lake nearby, and got a warm delish meal in the lodge. 10/10

5.00I have never in my life had an experience this amazing!! I went it with some expectations but this completely blew my mind/expectations. Whenever I dreamed of taking a winter hike, this is exactly what I wanted. I went in January and I do not regret it! Alexandra made this an experience of a lifetime and I couldn’t have asked for a better one! If I ever come back I will definitely book again! Thank you so much Alexandra!!!!!!!!
Great experience!

5.00Alexandra was an amazing tour guide, today she took us through a beautiful forest where we stood on a dock to enjoy fika while enjoying an incredible lake view. After this she took my parter and I ice bathing, albeit it was cold, the sauna warmed us up and we had a great time. Alexandra treated us to lunch and made us feel like family. She knew a lot about the swedish culture and history and was generously informative throughout. Whether it be for a couple or family I would definitely recommend this trip to those whose first time it is in Sweden. Thank you Alexandra for all!
A wonderful experience start to finish

5.00This was the most wonderful experience. Alexandra is such a calm person and genuinely lovely to spend time with. We had a walk through the forest, taking in the views and enjoying the crunch of the snow underfoot and the amazing fresh air.. a pit stop for Glog and ginger biscuits whilst enjoying a spectacular view and collected water from a natural spring. This was followed by a trip to a local sauna with the opportunity to both ice bath in the lake relax in the sauna. We were lucky enough that the restaurant was offering Julbord on the run up to Christmas, so finished the trip with a lovely meal sampling wonderful tasty fresh locally sourced organic food, even taking dessert in front of the fire. A wonderful experience start to finish.. and I slept so well that night!!
