Summer restaurant Kesärafla Sauna

Summer restaurant Kesärafla Sauna is located by the Kemijoki River within the grounds of Lapland Hotels Ounasvaara Chalets, just a 5-minute drive from Rovaniemi city center. You can also access the Kesärafla Sauna by water from the city center. In the terrace restaurant, you can enjoy refreshing drinks while admiring the stunning views of the Kemijoki River and savoring food cooked on a real charcoal grill. During your meal, you can warm up in the wood-heated sauna and take a dip in the river to cool off. The area also offers the opportunity to play beach volleyball and rent SUP boards.

Kesärafla’s summer has come to an end

Sauna

The foundation of the Kesärafla Sauna is a beautiful and large wood-heated sauna by the Kemijoki River. The sauna features a wood-burning stove that provides heat for up to 35 people. There are separate shower facilities for women and men. In the summer, you can take a refreshing dip in the river from the dock or enjoy the clear evening sun from the terrace. After the sauna, grilled burgers cooked over charcoal are a delightful treat.

The wood-fired UNISEX sauna is heated during the Summer Restaurant's opening hours as a public sauna.
