Arctic Sauna World
ARCTIC SAUNA WORLD
Five saunas between the fells, next to the national park on the shore of the sacred lake, by the spring water
Arctic Sauna World is located on the shores of Lake Jeris, next to Pallas-Ylläs National Park
in connection with Hotel Jeriks. Lake Jerisjärvi is a sacred lake for the Sámi, known for its generous fish catch throughout Finnish history.
Arctic Sauna World is a unique place with four elements,
earth, water, air and fire combined to form the fifth element, the steaming sauna spirit. In Finnish folk tales, Löyly is synonymous with spirit,
and part of our soul in Finnish mythology. For us Finns, the sauna is a place for relaxation, meditation and mental and physical cleansing.
The four elements are known around the world. We have created four saunas for you to balance your elements through our saunas. These saunas, Tapio, Ukko, Ilmatar and Vellamo represent elements
through our traditional gods and goddesses.
If you wish, you can book our fifth sauna, Repo for private use.
