Jerisjarvi Arctic Sauna World

Finnish people love to go to sauna and it’s part of almost everyone’s weekly traditions to go to a sauna. Many people even have own saunas at home. I was hiking for a week and after living in a tent I wanted to find a place to relax and clean myself after the long hike before returning home from Lapland. At Jerisjarvi (lake Jeris), there’s an Arctic Sauna World. It’s located in the address Jerisjarventie 91 not far from Pallastunturi and the town of Muonio near the crossing of streets 957 and 9572. If wanted, hiking trails to the nearby fells start from almost the front door of the hotel. The place is collocated with a tiny hotel and a camping area for camping cars and trailers (and even tents). The entry is 25 euros for an adult and 15 euros for a child (under 12) in 2021. The place has four different saunas. There’s two (or some days three) normal saunas, a smoke sauna and an IR sauna. All of them well designed and giving different bathing experience. There’s also a sports massage salon, a restaurant and a swimming opportunity (around the year) in the lake. There are also suitable all weather relaxation areas with a good lake view in a few places so it’s usable even during the bad weather and winter. I definitely recommend the place. I think the service of the staff was very friendly and places have been kept in a good condition. It’s worth the money spent for a true Finnish sauna experience. As a Finn myself I can guarantee it. #finland #lapland #muonio #jerisjarvi #sauna #hiking#roadtrip#summervacation#beachvacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer
