Enjoy the gentle heat of a traditional Finnish wood-heated sauna with your own private group in the peaceful lakeside surroundings of House of Northern Senses, only about 15 minutes from Ruka.
Our wood-heated lakeside sauna is located on the shore of the fell lake Pikku Porontima. Step directly from the sauna into the fresh lake water throughout the year – and into an ice hole in winter.
The entire sauna session is reserved exclusively for your group. It is ideal for a small group of 1–6 guests looking for an authentic Finnish sauna experience, peaceful nature and unhurried time together.

- 120-minute private sauna session
- traditional Finnish wood-heated lakeside sauna
- exclusive use for a group of 1–6 guests
- year-round lake swimming and winter ice swimming
- towels and sauna seat covers
- shampoo and shower gel
