Bring drinking water, swimwear, and two towels—one to sit on and one to dry off with. In winter, it’s wise to pack wool socks or bathing shoes.

It’s recommended to break your sauna sessions into 15–20‑minute intervals. If you’re new to sauna bathing, start with shorter sessions—around 10 minutes—and gradually extend the time as your body adapts to the heat. Cool off with a dip, then begin another round.

It’s also important to listen to your body’s signals. If you feel dizzy, nauseous, or uncomfortable in any way, leave the sauna immediately and cool down. It’s also essential to drink plenty of water before and after sauna sessions to avoid dehydration.

The length of time you should stay in the water depends on the water temperature and your own tolerance for cold, as well as your experience with year‑round swimming. For beginners, it’s enough to submerge yourself and focus on controlling your breathing. In winter, limit your time to about 1–3 minutes. As you become more experienced and your body adapts, you can gradually increase your time in the water; a handy rule of thumb is “one minute per degree.”

In a traditional sauna, it's typically warmest near the ceiling. This is because heat rises and accumulates at the top, while temperatures closer to the floor are usually somewhat cooler. However, the temperature may vary slightly depending on the sauna's design, size, and the placement of the heater or heat source. A general rule of thumb is that there's about a 10-degree difference between each bench level. It's advisable to try different spots in the sauna to find the most comfortable one for you.

Pouring water on the stones in a sauna serves several purposes:

• Increases humidity: When water is poured onto the hot stones of the sauna heater, it immediately evaporates, raising the humidity level in the air. This creates a steamy environment, which some people find more comfortable and relaxing.

• Boosts heat: Since the water evaporates quickly upon contact with the hot stones, it temporarily increases the heat sensation within the sauna, enhancing the feeling of warmth.

• Provides freshness: Adding water to the stones can also offer a refreshing sensation, particularly if the sauna feels dry or the heat becomes overly intense. It's important to be careful when pouring water onto the stones to avoid injuring yourself or others.

Yes, children can safely use the sauna, but please be aware that they have a lower capacity to regulate their body temperature, making them more susceptible to overheating or dehydration. They should therefore sit on the floor or the lowest bench and drink water regularly. Bringing ice cubes or a frozen water balloon can also be fun for children and helps them regulate their temperature. We have no specific age limit, but children must be accompanied by an adult. All swimming and sauna activities are at your own risk.

Alcohol is not permitted during drop-in sessions. For private bookings, a maximum of 2 beers or 2 glasses of wine/sparkling wine per person is allowed. Spirits and red wine are not permitted in the saunas. All swimming and sauna use is at your own risk. We believe that sauna and swimming are best enjoyed without alcohol or other intoxicating substances.

• Drop-in is a single ticket that gives you access to the sauna for one hour. There may be other people in the sauna at the same time. Drop-in tickets can be purchased up to three weeks in advance. If no times are visible in the calendar, it means the session is fully booked.

• Private booking means you get the entire sauna to yourself, with no other guests present. Private sessions can be booked up to six months in advance.

We recommend exercising special caution when using the sauna during pregnancy. If you wish to use a sauna while pregnant, you should consult your doctor for advice tailored to your individual health and pregnancy.
