Sauna and Cold Plunge, Forest Hike and Fireplace Lunch - Private





Description
Prepare for a thrilling experience with one of the most genuine Swedish traditions, hot and cold, a must while visiting Stockholm in the winter. This experience is a real treat for your body and soul and a total immersion in the local life in Sweden. Leave everything behind and step into a portal of peace and wellbeing. The tranquility and silence of the forest, the beautiful scenery, fresh air and the winter frost will make you feel as you are far away while walking amongst the tall pine trees. In the forest is a small lake and a hot wooden Sauna. In the winter the lake is mostly covered by ice and its been a long tradition to enjoy the health benefits of the contrast of the hot and cold that makes you feel alive and energized. For those who are well familiar with ice-bathing know how this will leave you with a feeling of deep relaxation and refreshment. And if you dare the challenge to plunge in the ice-cold lake then that will be a high achievement with its own rewards.

Highly recommend! We only had 3 days in Sweden; so, we had to carefully pick our activities and itinerary. This easy forest hike, hot sauna/cold plunge experience, and fireside-cafe lunch were altogether a fantastic experience! To start, Alexandra is a gem. She picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, on time, and we didn’t have to navigate through any transportation issues. Alexandra was a great host — informative, helpful, willing to share her own experiences, asked questions, good communicator (Whats App beforehand and excellent English in person), very kind, and has a genuine passion for her work and sharing nature with others. It’s a private excursion, so it was just me, my husband, and Alexandra. It was only a short drive outside the city of Stockholm and we were in a beautiful forest with a glacial lake. A very scenic and peaceful excursion from the city. The hot sauna/cold plunge was a short drive away at another nearby lake. Our thought was, “when in Sweden, do as the Swedes do.” It was a very fun, very memorable highlight of our entire two-week trip! My husband and I had done hot sauna before, but neither of us had ever done a cold plunge before. While a bit nervous, we both did it with some bravery and gentle assurance from Alexandra who did it with us. The hot sauna was HOT, the cold lake was literally FREEZING, and the experience was incredible! We did it for two rounds (hot, cold and again hot, cold). We’d absolutely do it again! You should definitely try it! The lunch after was on the same grounds in a rustic counter-service cafe with delicious hot food menu options. It was the perfect way to wind-down from the activities. A 10/10 experience. If it sounds even mildly interesting to you, then you’re in great hands with Alexandra and you’ll love this Stockholm adventure!
We went to Sweden in the winter looking for beautiful snowy hikes, saunas, cold plunge, and great food. This tour had everything we were hoping to find during our entire trip! Alexandra is an incredible guide; knowledgeable, calming, fun. She has a clear appreciation for nature that made for a very peaceful experience. Highly recommended.
We had a wonderful time in this tour. It was the best of our trip in Stockholm. The company and conversations with Alexandra were super nice, the hike was amazing and the plung into the cold water after the sauna was surprisingly good. Also, don’t skip the food because it is delicious.
Thank you for your wonderful review and company! Warm welcome back 💦💛
Great private tour exploring the forest, experiencing the sauna and ice plunge, and a delicious lunch. Fantastic experience!
Thank you for your company and review. Warm welcome back!
Alexandra was the best I could wish for this experience. Her knowledge, kindness and positive energy brought it to another level. I'm looking forward to coming back and discovering even more about Swedish culture!
Im so happy to hear that, thank you! A magical day with magical company! Warm welcome back
We had an absolutely unforgettable experience on this guided tour in Sweden. Hiking through the snowy forest felt like stepping into a winter fairytale — everything was peaceful, white, and beautifully untouched. It was both calming and invigorating at the same time. One of the highlights was the sauna followed by our very first cold plunge in a frozen lake! It was definitely outside our comfort zone, but it turned out to be such an exhilarating and empowering experience. We’re so glad we did it — it’s something we’ll never forget. Afterward, we warmed up in a cozy cabin with a fireplace, which made the whole experience even more magical. Sitting by the fire after the cold plunge was lovely. The lunch served there was delicious — fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we needed after an active morning in the cold. A very special thank you to our guide, Alexandra. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional throughout the entire tour. She made us feel comfortable and ensured we had a truly authentic and safe experience. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sweden who wants a genuine taste of nature, adventure, and Scandinavian tradition. It was the perfect winter day! ❄️🔥
Thank you so much for your company and review, it was such a pleasure! Warm welcome back 🤗
Alexandra was a fantastic guide. My nieces and I really enjoyed the whole all of the trip: the hike, the sauna, the cold plunge, and the tasty lunch. I would highly recommend booking this experience.
Thank you for the review and your wonderful company! It was a pleasure to host you, Warm welcome back 🤗
Alexandra is an exceptional guide! I have so much gratitude that she shared her time with me on a quiet and meditative hike in the woods just a few miles out of Stockholm. I learned about the local fauna and enjoyed a tea break with a view. A visit to a community sauna and ice plunge was restorative and energizing. I particularly enjoyed a shared meal with Alexandra in a cozy cabin that felt quite distant from the usual tourist spots; precisely the experience I was seeking on this trip to Sweden. Above all, Alexandra is an absolute delight; informative, kind, and passionate. I hope to have an opportunity to do this again.
Thank you Daniel! Im so happy to hear that you enjoyed our time and warm welcome back!! 🙏🌿
This trip was absolutely incredible! The hike was breathtaking, with stunning views and the unforgettable experience of drinking fresh spring water. The sauna was the perfect way to relax after, and the ice plunge was an exhilarating challenge! Lunch at the sauna’s restaurant was delicious, rounding off the experience beautifully. Our guide was fantastic—super friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great recommendations. Every moment felt well-planned yet natural, making for an unforgettable adventure. If you love nature, relaxation, and a bit of a thrill, this is a must-do. Thank you for such a memorable experience!
Thank you so much for your company and heartfelt review! Warm welcome back! 🙏🌿
This was one of the most fun things we did in Stockholm. My 3 friends and I did this experience our second day in the city and it was a great, fun way to be immersed in the Swedish culture. Alex is super accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. She picked us up right from our airbnb and shuttled us to everywhere we needed to be. The hike is low impact, we went in the winter and she had spikes for our shoes so we wouln't slip. We got fresh spring water, plunged in the lake nearby, and got a warm delish meal in the lodge. 10/10
Im so happy to hear, thank you for your review! It was so much fun spending time together! Warm welcome back 🤗
