Outdoor saunas change the shape of the ritual. Walking between a wood-fired cabin and open water, in whatever weather the day decided on, is part of the session rather than a disruption. It is usually where the best heat in the atlas lives, in barrel, tent and field setups run by small independent operators.
In Switzerland, 44 of the curated saunas fit this cut. See the full Switzerland country guide for every venue, or keep scrolling for just the outdoor saunas.
