Every lake sauna in Tampere
Hangaslahti Sauna
€€Tampere, Finland
A smoke sauna and an electric sauna on a lake shore in forest about 13 km from central Tampere, in a 1968 building extended in 2006. A group hires the whole place, with an outdoor hot tub, a grill on the veranda and a separate meeting room. Swimming is in the lake in summer and an ice hole in winter.
Kaukajärven Sauna
€Tampere, Finland
A lakeside public sauna on the shore of Kaukajärvi in eastern Tampere, run by the swimming club Uinti Tampere ry. Two sauna buildings open daily through the year, with swimming straight off the shore and ice swimming in winter. A kiosk sells refreshments in summer.
Kaupinojan Sauna
€Tampere, Finland
A public wood-fired sauna on the shore of Näsijärvi, run by Tampere's winter swimmers' club. An ice hole is kept open through the winter, and entry is pay-at-the-door with no booking. Quiet hours are set aside at some sessions, and a smaller yurt sauna shares the changing rooms.
Saunatemppeli
€Tampere, Finland
A wood-fired yurt sauna on the Näsijärvi shore at Kaupinoja in Tampere, sharing the beach with the older public sauna there. Walk in during opening hours and pay the sauna tender directly, or use a ten-visit card. Swimming is from the shore, year round.
Varalan Rantasaunat
€€Tampere, Finland
Sauna buildings on the Pyhajarvi shore at Varala sports institute, hired by groups rather than open to walk-ins. Six lakeside saunas take eight to twelve each and come with a fireplace or lounge room, terraces stepping down to the water. A separate log sauna can be booked with a hot tub.
