About
2 Siberian cedar barrel saunas on the Granton waterfront, next to The Pitt market. Big Bear and Little Bear both face the Firth of Forth, with direct sea access for cold dipping. Community sessions draw a crowd; midweek is quieter if you want space.
Good to know
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- 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.
- Mixed sauna: men and women share the room, in every session or on set days.
- Swimwear sauna: some or all sessions are taken in swimwear, so pack it.
- Runs aufguss sessions: a guided löyly ritual where an attendant fans the steam around the room on a schedule.
