Tupaswilla
One of the World’s Largest Traditional Finnish Smoke Saunas
By a small pond stands one of the world’s largest smoke saunas, where a bathing ritual unfolds unlike conventional sauna experiences. Locally harvested black peat is applied to the skin before entering the smoke sauna for up to 20 minutes — a traditional practice believed to help draw out impurities. Inside the sauna, löyly and temperature are carefully managed under guided supervision. After the session, the peat is rinsed off, or guests may step directly into the pond to cool down. The experience reflects a smoke sauna culture deeply rooted in Finnish tradition.
