About
Placerville Sauna is an outdoor sauna and cold plunge yard on Mother Lode Drive. Its 18-person sauna was milled from a 220-year-old cedar from nearby Apple Hill, with a spruce barrel sauna and a 700-gallon plunge alongside. Guides lead three-round Aufguss sessions, and Open Sits run at your own pace.
Good to know
- Runs aufguss sessions: a guided löyly ritual where an attendant fans the steam around the room on a schedule.
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- Swimwear sauna: some or all sessions are taken in swimwear, so pack it.
