About
Three wood-fired saunas on the sea at Länsiulapanniemi in Lauttasaari, run by the Helsinki police summer home association but open to anyone. Public sessions are booked and paid for online in advance. A group can also hire the saunas privately and heat them itself, and a dock by the shore is used for swimming and winter dipping.
Good to know
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- Set in nature, away from the city, so bring a car or plan the transfer in advance.
- Right on the sea: expect saltwater dips between rounds, cold even in summer.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- Wood-fired heat: softer, heavier löyly than electric, and the smell of the stove is part of the room.
- Women-only sauna: the venue has a women's side or room, or runs set women-only sessions.
