SAUNA EVENT
Inscribed in UNESCO’s list of intangible cultural heritages since 2020, sauna is an essential, vital part of Finnish culture since times immemorial. Join us on the Friday 13.12.2024 to discover this tradition at Löyly, an iconic sauna for locals in Helsinki, with a unique, direct access to the Baltic Sea! Discover more about Löyly here.
To make this event possible, we would like to gauge interest first by opening a pre-registration form from the 11th of September until the 15th of October. Since spaces are limited, we will proceed to bookings on a first-come, first-served basis. The maximum number of participants is 76, and the sauna requires a swimsuit.
