My partner and I loved the experience. The host was kind and welcoming, and was there to make sure we could get into the water okay, while leaving us privacy when we were in the sauna. We were provided with everything we needed - towel, shoes, water. I highly recommend!

This was such a great experience, definitely a highlight of our trip. Scenery was lovely too. Killian was helpful while still giving us plenty of space to enjoy the experience. Highly recommend.

A really great experience — warming up in a 70 year old sauna and dipping in the cold water. The host is very friendly and accommodating. Easy to get to on the bus. I highly recommend!

When I booked this experience it seemed like such a great idea but as it got closer I tried to talk myself out of it but I am so happy I went, what an amazing experience and such a pleasure getting to meet the host Kilian who was so nice and welcoming, he accommodated me even though I was late and gave me extra time as well. Kilian explained the whole process and said he would come out to make sure I was ok when I first went into the water, he even filmed a video for me as I was there alone documenting my experience. I am so thankful to Kilian for making the experience so incredible and couldn’t recommend him and Pajasauna anymore.

One of the best experiences I have ever had in my entire life. The place is beautiful and the host was very kind and helpful. 100% recommended.

Beautiful place to have a cold dip and relax in a cosy sauna. I would love to do this again. The sauna was kept clean at all times.
Abbey_B, Dec 2024
What an exhilarating experience! So glad that we did it. Cillian was wonderful! He was so knowledgeable and attentive. Highly recommend. Cannot say enough about how wonderful the experience was. The idea of going into icy waters is scary, but it is so rewarding! He will give you guidance and pointers and I recommend just going for it! You will feel so relaxed after.

We loved the experience with the sauna and bath in the icy river, highly recommended! We come out like new

Un cadre magnifique pour une expérience hors du commun, en petit comité. Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis et accompagnés ! Une très belle découverte, à faire absolument !

Bain finlandais typique, en totale immersion dans la tradition. Superbes installations et accueil de la part de notre hôte. Explications claires et rassurantes. Un grand merci, à refaire !
Roxanne_D, Jan 2025
Très facile à trouver , à 20min de Rovaniemi en voiture / train/ bus !
Expérience typique finnoise incroyable , l’hôte est adorable et très bienveillant !
Nous avions le sauna pour nous 2 et nous avons pu profiter de la vue sur le lac gelé !
Celine_V, Dec 2024
Incroyable expérience que je recommande vraiment 😍. Il faut vraiment débrancher son cerveau pour la première baignade. Quelques secondes après cette première baignade, on ressent déjà un bien-être. La seconde baignade se fait donc beaucoup plus facilement et insite à une troisième pour passer une journée des plus détendue et une nuit véritablement paisible. Ne vous désistez pas mais au contraire foncez ! Cela restera une de mes plus belles expériences en Finlande (avec les aurores boréales !).

Expérience mémorable en plein cœur de la laponie finlandaise ! Un accueil très chaleureux, en français, pour une expérience typiquement nordique. Bain dans la glace très bien accompagné, et sauna confortable, propre et agréable. Un joli moment que nous aurions aimé renouveler.
