No rushing

How your session works

Arrive 15 minutes before your booked start time to check in, change and receive a short orientation. Your sauna session lasts 60 minutes.

01

Arrive

Park near reception, check in and get changed.

02

Heat

Settle into the wood-fired sauna at your own pace.

03

Cool

Use the forest air, shower or optional cold plunge.

04

Rest

Hydrate, pause and return for another round if you wish.

Cold water is optional

Plunge only if you want to

You never have to use the cold plunge. Cooling naturally in the woodland air or using the shower is equally welcome. Listen to your body and take your time.

Warm, calm and respectful

  • Sit on a towel inside the sauna
  • Ask before adding water to the stones
  • Keep conversation considerate
  • Leave phones outside the sauna
  • Rinse before using the plunge
  • No alcohol or glass
