Public Saunas
Public saunas in the Lappeenranta and Imatra region.
Finns have been ranked the happiest people in the world on several occasions. It has been suggested that one of the reasons for this happiness is the sauna: in the sauna, the mind and body relax, stress and all the bad things in the world are wiped away.
In Lappeenranta and Imatra, on the shores of Lake Saimaa, you can pamper yourself not only in a traditional sauna, but also in an atmospheric smoke sauna or rent a floating sauna. Of course, you can also take a dip in the lake, be it summer or winter. There are saunas on demand in the area and, of course, you can also take a sauna in the Saimaa region's spas, where there is a wide variety of saunas and where the sauna baths are a distant memory of everyday life.
