Top Stockholm Traditional Wellness

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.

We celebrate the cozy darkness days before Christmas together with candles and glögg and frosted snowflakes. How do we here in Sweden make the darkness cozy and warm, lets find out and experience the best it has to offer. A culinary treat to the Swedish food cuisine, only served during the darkest month of December is Julbord, the Christmas Table, a must while visiting Stockholm in the winter. Warm yourself up in the sauna to relax and get a treat for the soul. Dare to dip your toe or immerse fully in the cold lake to boost your energy. Then finish up inside in the warm glow of the candles and the fireplace with some delicious foods for all the tastebuds and the very best we have to offer even for the most picky eaters. Leave everything behind and step into a portal of peace, wellbeing and new flavors and traditions as a local. Welcome to join me! Alexandra @naturespiritsweden
