WNTR Sauna
In winter, you can enjoy the warmth of Rovaniemi's best sauna and refresh yourself in the cold waters of the Kemijoki River! The legendary Summer Restaurant & Sauna has expanded its operations in winter to become WNTR Sauna, offering a cozy lounge for both local residents and visitors traveling to the north.
The sauna is located next to the Ounasvaara ski resort by the banks of the Kemijoki River, just a five-minute drive from Rovaniemi city center. The restaurant and sauna can be found in the grounds of Lapland Hotels Ounasvaara Chalets by the river.
The heat of the sauna and the coolness of the river - take a break from the hustle of everyday life in the steam of WNTR Sauna!
Head to Rollon's best steam and dip into the cool waters of the Kemijoki River! WNTR Sauna is Rovaniemi's living room for locals and travelers who enjoy the northern atmosphere.
The heart of WNTR Sauna is a large wood-heated sauna, and it's not without reason that it's been named the best sauna spot in Rovaniemi! Up to 24 people can enjoy the sauna at once. From the sauna, you can plunge into the refreshing Kemijoki River – from the pier in autumn and into the ice hole in winter. There is a fire pit area and you can purchase food and drinks to enjoy in the sauna's lounge area.
In the unisex sauna, you bathe in swimsuits. There are separate dressing and shower facilities for women and men.
Make sure to bring a swimsuit in addition to a towel, even if you don't go into the ice hole. Swimsuits are also available for rent.
