The lakeside sauna heats up every Wednesday during winter and every Monday, Wednesday and Sunday during summer, and you can swim all year round in the lake. You’ll only need your swimming suit and a towel to enjoy a relaxing Finnish “löyly”. You can also rent a towel from us.

The sauna is located by the lake, where you can dip into Lake Päijänne year-round via the pier or the child-friendly sand beach. The sauna also offers changing rooms (separate for men and women), showers with shampoo and a hairdryer.

Cold refreshing drinks for sauna can be bought from the main building of Juurikkasaari or from the beach terrace during summer.
